UPDATE: SO I resolved this issue. I realized 2 things:
1) I needed to update to windows 7 Service pack 1 so I could reach the 30 FPS I was getting before, which I forgot I did have installed before.
2) Even though I get 30 FPS in wind waker, my CPU is still a botteneck for Dolphin as a whole.
It's pretty much maxed out right now getting those 30 FPS lol, poor old G1630. oh well if it dies i'll buy a new one. Great forum! thanks for all the help!

What's up everyone! First time posting so
So I'm having trouble emulating certain games with the setup below. I was recently rocking the setup below with a HD 6670, using the all default settings except on graphics (running internal resolution at 2X) . There were some days I played wind waker for hours at 30 FPS with no dropped frames or lag what so ever. Other days it would be stuck at 22-25 FPS. I could play smash bros. melee fine with it always at 60 FPS. I then learned the HD 6670 card was bad and returned it (BSOD, random glitches throughout all applications)
I bought a brand new Zotac card as listed below. My PC now runs without being glitchy now but it now runs dolphin worse, The highest I've gotten playing wind waker is 25 FPS but it barely gets there, usually hovering around 20 :'(. and now smash bros runs around 40-50 FPS with glitches everywhere lol
What gives. I had a older defective card and it ran better than my brand new card that's obviously stronger. the gtx 750 even has GDDR5 compared to the 6670 having GDDR3. the only difference between them would be the 6670 having 2GB of RAM compared to the zotac card having 1 GB.
I've also seen benchmarks showing my G1630 processor to be on par with some i3's which from youtube can def run wind waker.
Please any and all help would be great, and I'll respond quick since I'm online now lol, THANKS!!
