Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everione im new here. I kinda have a verry good rig but using Dolphin i feel like im doing something wrong.
Im setting them alright I know i am.
Example:
I play Metroid Prime with all low and 720p res and when there is lots of things in the screen i get from 60fps to like 30 or 28 is that normal?
So am i being stupid or what?
This is my Rig:
Samsung 40" LED 120hz
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits
AMD Phenom II X6 3.6Ghz Black Edition
MSI NF980-G65
Kingston 8Gb DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24 1.65 Volts
EVGA GTX 460 Sli 16x
EVGA GTX 460 Sli 16x
Ultra LSP 750W
Case NZXT Phantom

You haven't mentioned your settings. However a phenom II cpu is not going to run the game at fullspeed all the time. Your gpu should easily be able to handle 1080p without your framerate dropping any lower but unless you upgrade to a sandy bridge cpu you should expect to see occasional drops.

Your first mistake was buying an AMD X6 processor, only AMD's budget processors are bang for buck, what made you buy this instead of lets say an i5-2300? That CPU is A bit cheaper than the i5-2500k, not overclockable but judging by your clock speeds you don't care much for overclocking. You should have went with the i5-2300 imho :l.

BTW I'm A huge fan of both companies for different reasons, so yeah don't think I'm some Intel fanboy.
