I really would like to see some proof that pci-e 2.0 would affect this in any way. From a logical perspective the exact opposite would be true. vdram bandwidth should affect fb copy, texture copy, and efb copy (if efb to texture is being used) speed but pci-e bandwidth should not. Or did you simply mean to say that a decent mobo is all that is needed to achieve sufficient speed since vdram bandwidth does not affect performance in dolphin MOST of the time (which I would agree with)?
Quote:well... my 5770 is from xfx with 1300Mhz ram clockspeed so it has about 30% more bandwith compared to the halfed interface of 128bit instead of 256 bit... but there is no difference in speed that is caused by gfx-card in 1920x1200 on both computers.
both are the same.
What game and how was the efb being handled? Was the efb being scaled? Most games are not bottlenecked by vdram bandwidth but I am curious if hyrule field in TP would have a difference, since that is one of the times when performance should logically be affected by fb read/write speed.
Sorry to keep the thread going since the OP already decided but I am really curious about this now that it has been brought up.
