Slow fps with i7 720qm

Bloodshot772 · 08-26-2010, 09:29 AM #1

I got my wii remotes today Nyko wand core pack and finally figured out how to connect them, but the problem is that my wii games won't run at full speed. It seems like i solved the Turbo boost problem, while in game my multiplier stays within x19-x21, using the set core 0, core 1 setting in taskmanager. I have tried the recommended settings on many other sites, is there something I may be missing? Should i try to lock my multiplier to x21, (it is a laptop and i have not much access with bios). Or some pluggins?... please help. I tried playing wii sports Tennis, pre game runs smooth, in game runs ~30fps too slow for actual gameplay.

Thank you so much.

lol with an i7 you should be getting really nice FPS, but it also depends on your graphics card (which model is it?)

also try this guide over here

I have i7 720QM and i get 100% speed and 40-60 FPS with SMG. Its only about hitting the right settings.

Hum, you know, i get the same crappy speed and FPS when im at the observatory/base too. Around 55-60% speed and 35 FPS. But once i leave that place and start playing in the galaxies and planets, i have 40-80 FPS and 100-120% speed. I don`t know whats so special about the base though..

What system specs you have? All drivers (directx included) are up to date right? And u are using a new revision?
There is so much weird about Dolphin, i really don`t understand it myself.

I have the same speed in the galaxies and planets as in the observatory/base.. always just 45-55%..

My specs:
Core i7 860 2,8Ghz Quadcore with HT
ATi Radeon 4850 512MB
8GB 1067Mhz DDR3
1TB Seagate
27" Inch Monitor

Using R6130 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 with a few days old Snow Leopard Drivers Update (DirectX isn't available for OSX, so im using OpenGL).

I think i just surrender and play New Super Mario Bros (which runs at 100% Fullspeed) Big Grin

Thanks for your help!
