You can never guarantee this with an emulator. If performance is this big of a concern you should use a real wii and learn to deal with the lower image quality.

Dropping IR to 2x gives the desired performance but not visuals. Vying for the 3xIR to work.
Like others have said this is most likely due to having your AA way too high. Also you should do everything that admin89 mentioned.
Quote:Now for some questions.
More like an affirmation for this first one: Because I'm using 4 computer players to test, I am guessing that a good amount of processing power is being wasted there instead of being used for powering the engine. If I have 4 humans in game then I should see much better performance. Is this true?
Can I defer any of the graphical load to the GPUs to increase engine speed?
What am I missing out on by not using DX11? Should I make using DX my goal?
Does anyone have a similar rig to provide comparisons? Is it possible that anything is being bottle-necked(lol)?
Any suggestions for tweaking settings?
1. I'll let someone else answer this since I don't play SSB games.
2. Not in any significant way. GPUs are for rendering.
3. Probably nothing. D3d9 is generally faster than openGL but not for everyone. Please make sure your gpu is not running at idle clocks with d3d9 and d3d11 using the method that admin89 posted. That may actually be the reason that you saw better performance with openGL.
4. Yes......there is always a bottleneck, otherwise you would have infinite performance.
5. See above.
