Sonic colors 60fps slowdown

[Dark tornado]

Im getting major slowdowns in this game with the 60fps hack, i tried         using the cpu overclock in dolphin but that doesnt really help. Im using 5.0 and my specs are i7 6700k@4.0GHZ, GTX 1070, 16 GB DDR4 2400MHZ

whoops, posted the same image a couple times, but atleast you can see my settings

Make sure you have a high performance profile for Dolphin in the Nvidia Control Panel with the Power management set to High Performance instead of Adaptive.

Alright i set my GPU to high performance and that seemed to fix the issue. How exactly do you set dolphin to have a high performance profile btw? just in case i might need to do it in the future.

You should use DX12 instead of OpenGL , DX12 is much faster

DX12 used to make my games run ALOT slower, but after switching my gpu to high performance, it seems to run much better Thank you guys for taking the time to help

one last thing, will setiing them to high performance have any type of negative effect other than maybe a higher temp? such as shortening the life span of my gpu or cpu?

[admin89]

What is your GPU temp at full load ? If it's somewhere between 60-70 degree Celsius then you shouldn't worry about it
My 6 years old Nvidia mobile GT 540M is still working just fine . I used to have it run 24/7
You could always set GPU fan speed to 70% or higher value to lower the temp . Basically , the lower temp the longer lifespan

OK, i should be good then. My GPU sit at 45c
