Background:
I have a Mac Book Pro with Retina Display 15 inch (2012 mid) top configuration (i7 3820QM 2.7GHz, 16G ram, GT650M, Yosemite 10.10.2 pre release ). But Super Mario Galaxy has only about 30-40 fps at opening title of the game (Dolphin 4.0 dev-5078, 3xIR, 4xAA, 4xAF, rest setting by default). I also have a desktop PC (i7 920@3.3GHz, 6G ram, AMD HD5800, Windows 7 64bit). Same Game with same config runs quite smooth at the same places. Generally speaking, my rMBP is more powerful than the old desktop PC, why Dolphin runs so different?
----------------------------------------------------
Due to my job, I can access various Macs. So I try to do a test that running the same game, same Dolphin, same config on different Macs.
----------------------------------------------------
Software: OS X Yosemite 10.10, Dolphin 4.0 dev-5078, Super Mario Galaxy original dump from my wii disc.
Dolphin Config: OpenGL Backend ( ), 3xIR, 4xAA, 4xAF, rest setting by default
Hardware: rMBP 15 inch(2014 mid)i7 4870HQ 2.5GHz, 16G ram, GT750M
Mac Book Air 13 inch (2014 early) i5 4260U 1.4GHz, 4G ram, intel HD 5000
iMac 27 inch (2013 late) i5 4670 3.4GHz, 8G ram, GTX775M
----------------------------------------------------
Result: (at opening title and save selection)
rMBP 15 inch (2014 mid) 40-45 fps .
iMac 27 inch (2013 late) 60 fps
Mac Book Air 13 inch (2014 early) 28-32 fps (More test with 1xIR = 55-60 FPS)
rMBP 15 inch (2012 mid) 30-40 fps (it's mine~)
----------------------------------------------------
MBA has least power, iMac is most powerful so the result is acceptable.
But as the flagship laptop of MBP, rMBPs can not get the good fps...
Is something wrong with the Retina display?
