Vulkan and DX12

Mars_Lars · 04-06-2018, 08:50 AM #1

I feel that the Dolphin Dev team may have made a mistake when getting rid of Direct3D12, though that is just my personal opinion, I do have some personal experience that has told me that DX12 was superior performance wise to the new "Vulkan" Backend. I've been trying to play games with it (Metroid Prime Trilogy and Metroid Other M) and the experience has been very choppy, and I know it's not my tech, because I got a GTX 1050, with an i5 7th gen that took it like a champ. I don't want this post to seem like one for me only to complain, I do have a legitimate question, do any of you guys know how I could maximize my frames, or at least have the emulator take full advantage of my tech? I don't know, I just want some help of any kind.

Can't answer that question until you post screenshots of your graphics settings.

It says the file is too large, recommendations on how to shrink it?

Did you save it as a bitmap or something??? lmao

Just upload it to an imgur.com album and post the link here or something

Doesn't Vulkan have some sort of issue with Ubershaders? I remember somebody saying that at some point, but now I don't remember. Just a possible thought.

That isn't a link to the album, or you set the album private

Still nothing. Just make a normal imgur album and post the link. Click on "new post" at the top, upload your screenshots, it'll put it in a sharable album you can just copy the URL to
