Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Ok so my problem is that dolphin isnt using my FULL Cpu speed

My Athlon II x2 240 is OC'd to 3600Mhz

When is play with dolphin its using about 78-81% of my CPU speed and game is running at 50%?

Ive turned off ALL limiters,fps,audio throttle but its like dolphin is stuck there...

Ive tryed numerious builds...all the same.

specc:

XFX 5670HD 512mb

2gb 800Mhz Transcent RAM

Athlon II x2 240 @ 3.6

Win7 x64 Retail

Current build using 6355,before that newest rev and 6505

btw the game im struggling to play is SMG2

ive read that a couple of times already...

nothing helps.

Ok, CPU-EFB Access needs more development and improvements.

Ive just saw that ALL my games (About 20,including ZTP,SMG1 and SMG2,SSBW etc) runs FULL speed Without CPU-EFB Access turned on.

This is slowing up emu rapidly and its about 20 FPS!!!

With that turned on ive got 33FPS in SMG2 on ship,while in game even lower!!!

Without it it runs full speed everywhere!

fail.

your system that is.

CPU-EFB (and EFB Reads) are dependant on the system memory bandwidth and how fast cores talk between each other and the system memory.

AMD is just slow at both.

* Athlon II is just slow at both. A Phenom II with that clock should do the job

no, a Phenom II is still just as slow at intercore communication and Memory latching.

Meh...

Say what?

Gaming/Hardcore settings in Crysis 2 and my rig cant run Dolphin?

You gotta be kidding me.

Ill tell you what slow is,CPU-EFB.

Thats why i said it needs improvement.

Yes. Crysis 2 is a pc game, you don't need to emulate it. You are EMULATING these GC/Wii games. That requires a very powerful cpu and a lot of memory bandwidth in this case.

Well if you're so confident in that why don't you improve it?
