maybe a dumb question but I would like to confirm something.
do your builds support openCL?
I would like to offload the CPU a little by using the GPU
Dolphin already supports OpenCL. Just check the "OpenCL Texture Decoder". (But in most cases, OpenCL is slower)
thanks for the fast reply
yeah, I has been using that option for a while since it seemed faster for me, but since I read somewhere that it needed to recompile dolphin with openCL ir order to take advantage of it so I was worried about it wasnt being used fully or it wasnt being used at all.
is there any way to monitorize OpenCL usage? some thirdparty app or some stats on dolphin?
It supports OpenCL.
What exactly do you wanna monitor?
I wanted to monitor the opencl ussage being used by dolphin.
I noticed when I ran a openCL benchmark test, the GPU ussage was almost 100% in MSIafterburner (a software I use to OC and monitor gpu clocks, temps and ussage.)
however, in dolphin, I dont notice extra GPU activity with that software, with openCL setting enabled or disabled,I would say the ussage is the same and it never use more than 20% of the GPU.
that is why It made me to suspect

You can get it now from
[color=#006400]my website[/color] (together with Dolphin builds). Site is still in development but everything is working fine. Domain is free and temporary, im getting paid one in few days.
[color=#FF0000]Notice:[/color]
Please show your support and interest in developing DCP by supporting
[color=#FF0000]THIS[/color] request because it will help developing DCP and it will make one of most important feature (video backend override) working.
For those which doesent understand - this will allow you to use different video plugin per game... for example, one game work on DX9 second on DX11 (like it was in Dolphin configuration profiles before it was removed)...
Also, please post here if you have any questions or problems with DCP, also report bugs, etc...
DCP seems very useful and a lot easier than going into the settinngs every time. It won't be very useful for me until backed support is added. I expressed my views in the issue that you linked to and hope someone will be able to add the feature soon.
I would do it, but Dolphin's code is so mind-blowingly complicated I wouldnt know where to start.

[color=#006400]Changelog:[/color]

Fixed: Some settings that are left dummies by accident
