Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'd like to point out something obvious here--the gtx 580 at 3x and 2x efb scales lost to the 5850 and 5870 in the graph, wow really? People who failed to read and follow the instructions, their score should be taken off or have a note next to their name. I've mentioned this on page 12 when i first saw the score, I was like "WTF, a gtx 580 losing to a gtx 460?!". But now the score has been updated so now it's a little bit faster than the gtx 460...

Just my 2 cents.

Wii has an Ati gpu inside, that might play a role to the fact that ati gpu's seem to do better in dolphin, just my 2 cents about it. Or it could be an nvidia driver issue, clearly i don't know. When antialiasing is used things are getting closer though.

There have got to be something wrong with the way Clusta benching this game, and I don't know what he did to his set up or configuration. Or whether or not he used the build that was given on the first page...not to mention follow the instructions. His gtx 580 (which he claimed he has) is about the same performance as a gtx 460 1gb edition, how do you explain that? There's a huge gap between a gtx 460 and a gtx 580, which is obvious if read the reviews on those high-end cards.

I know from experience that AMD makes solid products, esp for it's price. Let's not get into a debate about which company is better. The results are what they are. Not everything is going to work exactly as you expect it to. I'm more interested in what someone's +4.6 GHZ oced 2500k or 2600k + high end card results would be.

Lets see if Clustra is true, i got one GTX580 too.
Gonna benchmark later.

No shit my results are the same as Clusta's !?
I guess everyone used another build or setting

Thanks for the input.

BTW My Core i7 is at 4.09GHZ actually.
My Signature is wrong

oh, duh, lol.

I wouldn't go as far to say that everyone else has cheated. Even the jump between a 260gtx and 470 gtx is very small in dolphin performance compared to the performance difference of the cards in pc games, unlike ati cards that their latest cards in dolphin do fine. Like i said it is probably a driver or architecture issue with the latest nvidia cards in dolphin, since wii uses an ati card after all.
The results are too many that point to that direction and i don't think that so many people cheated (it is pointless imo). But i do get a feeling that caliblue 2x efb setting might be a typo and instead of 261 it might actually be 216.

I dunno about anyone else, but the only reason I posted was so people could get an idea as to what kind of performance to expect if they wanted to upgrade. That and I think we need some kind of performance guide so we can limit the amount of "will my pc run dolphin good?" threads. No cheats here.
