[resolved] FPS are going down during the first minutes

[mimydestroy]

Hello everyone, and thank you for your help on dolphin emulator !
here is my probleme :
I played now 2 games on many version of dolphin (2.0 and last revisions) with many configurations I found on help pages and other forums on internet, and the probleme is always de same :
the game is playing fast during the first 10 second, and after encounters some FPS degradations, FPS are going down constantly. after 2 minutes, the game plays around 14fps everywhere...

Here is my configuration :
Vista 64
GTX 275
Q9950 2.83ghz
4094 Mo

thank you again for your help.

Is your CPU overheating and throttling down the speed?

Normally, Dolphin will be slow at the beginning and then get faster.

If you're using a laptop, plug it in while playing and set the power options for "performance".

thank you for your reply.

My computer is not a laptop.

"Is your CPU overheating and throttling down the speed?"

Use coretemp to check cpu temps and furmark to test gpu temps.

my gpu temperature is stable (around 90° at full charge)
but my cpu is going up to 100° then the frequence is going down...

how could I change that ?
thank you.

Replace the heatsink or apply a thermal paste or do both.

Also make sure sure the case is well ventilated and nothing is blocking airflow. Remove the side panel if you have to. Take out your heatsink and blow out the dust with a can of dustoff then reseat it.
