can someone give me a full plugin listing that their using for their game and all of their settings? I'm trying to get the game to run smooth without losing quality.
I don't think my specs are bad lol.
Q6600 3.0ghz
4gb DDR2 1066 2x2gb ram
Nvidia GTX 260 Core 216
I drop down to 15fps at areas with the game set to 1280x720
. If I turn on RealXFB I get full speed but the game looks worse than on my wii >_<.
also I'm always running newest svn but I just copy over the old svn rather than make a new folder so I don't have to redo my controls. is that okay?
How did you guys get it running so smoothly? I can hardly manage a 30 FPS average, mine hovers more around 24ish, and the speed can sporadically shoot all the way down to 40% and make for a slow-motion gunfight.
Most of my other GC/Wii games work fine, but Goldeneye seems to be much more demanding on my system in particular. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I should have a beastly processor to run this thing with...
I'm using SVN R 6332
i7 860 @ 3.58Ghz (I went through a whole new round of overclocking just trying to get this game to perform)
GeForce 9800GT
4 gigs of RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Same here. :S mine is from 20-30 fps
Phenom II 940 @ stock
HD5850 BE
4 gb ram
Is my CPU to slow? or why is my game not running @ 30 fps smooth.
i've tried dx11,9 and opengl
same result
yeah, I guess you'd need something like a dual (or higher) core with nearly 4 GHz to play this one smoothly at all times (multiplayer could even be tougher, dunno)

mine phenom II 940 is quadcore (4), so should handle it if i over clock it @ 3 ghz atm.
no, it doesn't matter much if you have a dualcore or higher because Dolphin can only really use two cores...so it's better to have, say, a dualcore at 4GHz than a quadcore at 3GHz.
Hmm... Well this is news to me. Say I disabled 2 of my 4 cores in the BIOS and overclocked them up to 3.5 or 4 Ghz each. Would this be a better method to gain speed?
Also, is anyone else getting a little audio delay? It might be due to the speed, but even at 100%, the sounds aren't matching the video.
I'd say the delay is due to the speed...even with some seconds being at 28-29 fps you'll quickly have a noticable delay in there. You could try setting the audio backend in the HLE plugin to OpenAL; if I remember right, there the sound and core emulation are bound together, so you might have no delay, but therefore an overall slower emulation...not sure, though. try it.
About your CPU: Well, I guess Dolphin is happy if it can have 2 cores all for its own, letting the other two do all the Windows stuff in the background, but generally it shouldn't be too much of a performance hit if two of your cores were disabled. And yes, overclocking will give you a noticable speed-boost (at least if the game is optimally emulated which Goldeneye pretty much seems to be).
Though I don't think you need to disable any cores for overclocking, do you?

No, I don't have to, but the idea is that I'd theoretically be able to push it higher without getting an overheat/volt-related BSOD than I would by pushing all 4 cores up. Also, I'll try out OpenAL. Thanks for the advice! Results incoming.
UPDATE:
Eh. The PC won't even boot with any cores disabled. I guess there's nothing I can do about that. Though OpenAL does seem to sync it up a bit nicer, the difference is negligible, barely noticeable at the cost of about 3-6% less speed.
well, are you already at your upper CO limit with all cores enabled? otherwise why not push it a bit as long as the cooling goes along?
