Hi !
I've compiled Dolphin for my Kubuntu Karmic 64bit with OpenCL following this method (it's a mix of two wiki pages, hope this is correct) :
* Step 1 : Getting Nvidia Open CL enabled drivers :
- First I've deleted old drivers
- Then I get the new drivers
- Drivers Installation
* Step 2 : Building Dolphin
Dolphin works well, I've tried it with the only game I have : Wii Sports. My hardware is a Pentium E5300 Dual Core, 2GB RAM, and Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS GPU with 512MB GDDR2.
I have about 25fps when playing tennis. The game is playable, but slower than on Wii.
With this hardware, can I speed up the game ? Is there a bottleneck with my GPU or my CPU ?
Is there some tuning I can do ?
Thanks in advance for your advices.
