Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Trying to run some games and even lowest resolution, lowest everything, I can run at only like 25fps. I can run Skyrim HD at insane gfx, but not like super mario new ? -___-

3.4ghz amd quad core phenom 2 black edition,
amd radeon 6790
8gb ram
dolphin 3.0-766-dirty (latest i think)

Is dx9 the best setting to use? I even tried openGL. I'm looking at youtube video of this guy with SAME video card and worse cpu running at 60fps etc:

So confused O_o

Actually , his CPU is faster than yours clock for clock (I'm only talking about Dolphin) but your CPU is more than enough for NSMB . There is no way you can't get fullspeed on this game

Dolphin uses 2 cores ( +1 if you enable "LLE on thread")
Check your CPU temp and clock speed with "Coretemp" when dolphin is running

Your GPU is fast enough for 4x IR (2560x2112) , no AA , 16x AF
Try Dolphin 3.0 (without the number behind it) :

For most games , yes

Use efb copy to texture and enable it in the game .ini file.
