wow alot of posts between that first one, so last post seems a bit irrelevant, But i didn't say that dx 11 is faster i said they pretty close, so for me dx 11 is faster in some slower in others, never said it was outright faster, and yeah i have most of the options picked, because if you didn't notice his rig is pretty strong so why not have them on for a more accurate emulation,
OpenCL is known to be buggy and slow things down.
DListCache only gives a small speed boost, if any.
Force Bi/Trilinear filtering and Widescreen Hack break stuff, aspect ratio should be set to auto.
EFB Format Change Emulation is only needed in a limited number of games.
Integral EFB scale is somewhat slower than fractional and especially native scaling.

D3D9 is just as stable as D3D11, the latter one is just somewhat slower. Then again, D3D11 is able to emulate some rarely used features which we can't emulate with D3D9.
Well thanks for the correct i was just providing the setting that work for me with similar hardware, FOr me even with an i7 920 the cpu is what bounds me in performance, so open is a speed up for me, freeing up cpu cycles for other task, I've never seen my gpu ususage over 40ish% with no AA all of those settings, and integral scaling, so i doubt those will be a problem.

I was just hoping someone with similar hardware or least have the knowledge to know what to change

you're all useless except jonnyboy. least he made an attempt



Have you tried it with the guides setting or my setting yet, seeing any improvements what speeds were you getting before vs. now in what games

well i've tried the defaults that dolphin recommends.

I usually get 30-60FPS (even though everything seems fine)

like right now im playing pikmin with 9xSSAA and 16x antrisotropic and it says 30 FPS but its playing fine in 1080p

I would listen to neobrain if I were you. He wrote the d3d11 plugin for dolphin. If anyone would know it would be him.

Plus how is this not helpful?:

Well there your problem, SSAA in dx 9 pretty much is broken at this point it's one of the blocking issues for dolphin 3.0, so SSAA x 9 is the same image quality as no AA, but several time more demanding, because it rendering an image that is 9 times the size of the orignal.

This is part of the reason i was saying that he might be interested, in dx 11 without AA neither dx 9 or 11 or going to come close to maxing out his card, so why not gowith dx 11 so he can use it's working AA, obviously if he runs a game were dx 11 isn't working correctly use dx 9
