Hi,
Currently using Dolphin 3.0-204 dirty. And two updates earlier I noticed far better speed.
I know that with each update it can either do great or come with new bugs.
I myself run an i7-865k @ 2.9 Ghz ( I wish i knew how to overclock it, but I'm scared sh**less for doing so ) with a GTX-460. I've been playing Zelda:Skyward sword for around 18 hours now and mostly with frame drops to 23 fps( i know it's capped at 30 ). And if i'm lucky 27 fps. What just baffles me is how people with similar specs run easily in internal resolution x 4 times. ( and EFB to RAM is a no no for correct rendering)
Two dolphin updates prior to this I was able to run the game smoothly around 29 fps with 2x resolution and 4x AA.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I never really had any game run optimized. I know that emulation requires a lot of power. But It's weird to see a super smash brother game run smooth on a duo core computer and a GTX250 with the resolution x4. While My system even fails to do that.
Is there anything outside Dolphin that should be configured? I would assume that a GTX460 should atleast run any Wii/Dolphin game in 2x the resolution or at least 3x.
Another weird thing is that when it slows down, I have to use "alt-enter" to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode to get back at a normal framerate, but not even a minute later the frames drop again.
I know Zelda: Skyward sword is new, but it's at least running better than Super Mario Galaxy ( which has major slow downs on my pc).
Do I need to overclock? Is it my Nvidia settings? I'm just stuck.
