Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I have been trying to fix this but i don't really know anything about emulators.

My problem is that in all the games that i have tried so far the fps drops from 60 to 20-10 fps during gameplay.

One example is in SMG 2, during the tutorial i am able to run the game at 60fps until Bowser comes into the picture. 90% of the time after that the fps drops to 20-10fps, Its like playing in slow-motion.

My specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

Prossesor: Intel Core i7 Cpu 860@2,80GHz, 2925Mhz, 4Cores, 8 Logical Processors

Graphics Chipset: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

Ram: 8Gb

(I do not know if this is all the information needed.)

I think an overclock of the CPU would help drastically and maybe a new GPU since it's kinda weak.

how are you using 8GB ram on a trippel channel configuration??

@Gabriel Belmont

I will try overclocking my Cpu.

I don't know what this means.

(i see what i did... ;D just saw that this cpu is using dual channel... wired... thought all i7 are using triple channel)

Only the LGA1366 ones do that...

@Gabriel Belmont / @dannzen

I tried overclocking (I think) but whit no change.

Took a screen shot of me running a game and standing still:

Don't really know what to do

ok i repeat
DONT OVERCLOCK...
you can damage or destroy your system with this
and you just overclocked your GPU...
please do NOTHING you don't know a thing and we won't teach you how to overclock...
it's on your own RISK

you don't know whats dual channel..
you don't know whats a cpu (you overclocked the gpu...)
you don't know the risks...

So all i can do to play is get a new Gpu?

Getting a new graphics card won't help. Please show us your settings. Either your settings are wrong or your cpu is overheating.
