Hey all,
I recently got a new PC to replace my aging rig from a few years ago. So far, all has been well and it's been running everything I've thrown at it.. except for emulation. GameCube games seem to run great, even in 4K. However, Wii games slow to a crawl almost immediately. An example is Super Mario Galaxy 2, which is my favorite game of all time. I first tried running it in 4K, but the frame rate would only go up to about 45-50FPS. I thought this odd as I've seen lesser hardware max out this game before at 4K. However, I decided to try something different and lowered the resolution to 1080p. The frame rate was exactly the same as before. This was really strange, as my old PC ran Super Mario Galaxy 2 fine at 1080p. I then tried Native Wii resolution.. same frame rate. Next, I tried Mario Kart Wii, and it too couldn't achieve 60FPS.
It's not just Dolphin exhibiting this behavior, PCSX2 and PPSSPP are also lagging quite badly. However, games are running fine. My 3DMark score is on point, temps are in check. No throttling on either the CPU or GPU.
Help would be greatly appreciated, as Dolphin is one of the things I run on my PC most. My specs will are listed below.
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480
RAM: 16GB A-Data DDR4
Motherboard: ASUS Z170 Gaming Pro
