Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Maybe someone can remember this to help us figure out why exactly lle on thread is slower in SMG2.

I seem to remember hearing something like that. It may have been here, another post from skid. Now that I think about it, I haven't tested whether LLE on Threads enabled is faster than LLE on Threads disabled when Accurate VBeam Emulation is turned on (my screenshots above are with it VBeam off).

It might also fix these gpu bottlenecks you see.
I just didnt have the time to test it a lot and provide screenshoots so far...

Please do test it. Obviously, my computer can't use the DX9 backend with my current OS :p

I'm most familiar with signal processing when it comes to video compression so i can understand his mistake.

Well it seems nvidia is stealing rodolfo's work

Newest nvidia beta 310.33 provides almost the same speedup in SMG2 ON ANY DOLPHIN revision as seen in 3.0-787 revision !!!

Lets start with official nvidia 306.23 drivers :

Here is HLE on 3.0-776:


Then LLE on 3.0-776:


Now HLE on 3.0-787


LLE on 3.0-787


And now big suprise,after updating nvidia drivers
HLE on 3.0-776


And LLE on 3.0-776



I didn't post screenshoots for 3.0-787 with new nvidia drivers because there is no double speedup,speed in 787 remains the same with new drivers,while speed in 778 and any other revision increases !!!!
Since there is no speedup in 3.0-787 it seems tha nvidia and rodolfo did work on similiar things lol

I wonder if this is worth a new thread

Coincidence? I will attempt to test MGS today.

Edit: BTW rpglord, did you test whether 3.0 was any faster than it was before with Nvidia's new 310.33 driver?

Yeah...3.0 or any revision before 3.0-784 is a lot faster then before

BTW when I mentioned 3.0-787 when posting screenshoots I actually meant 3.0-784 because that's the revision which changed the speed.
I tested with 3.0-787 but there is no difference between 3.0-787 and 3.0-784
