It seems nvidia is stealing rodolfo's work

Dolphin 3.0 with Nvidia 306.23 whql drivers :



And here same spot with new 310.33 beta drivers :



It really seems nvidia and rodolfo were working on something similiar since there is no speedup in any dolphin revision past 3.0-784,there is only speedup on revisions before that one.

Here is 3.0-787 with latest beta drivers:



Of course,every single setting in dolphin and in nvidia control panel is the same.

Anybody can test and confirm this ? I only tested dx9 so far,but it seems same speedup is present in dx11 too.

Unfortunatelly,it seems there is no speedup in OpenGl

What the heck is going on ?
I will test this later but ...Are you sure it only work for SMG ?

There is 2 fps speedup in Last Story,which is A LOT for last story lol
Other games I tested so far seems the same...

Um... I don't have any speedup with latest beta driver
I'm using Dolphin 3.0-784

Tried Dolphin 3.0 and Dolphin 3.0-797 , Directx9 and Directx11
No speedup or whatsoever

Interesting,so you get much lower fps in 3.0 then in 3.0-797 right ? ( because of rodolphos work ) ?
I got MUCH lower fps in 3.0 then in for example 3.0-784 untill new nvidia drivers..I get pretty much same fps now in 3.0 and in latest dolphin revisions
What are your settings ? I am testing speed oriented settings,1x IR and 1xAA etc...

1x IR , no AA , 16x AF or 2.5x IR , no AA , 16x AF
Activate Vbeam + Disable Idle Skipping

My mistake . Not Dolphin 3.0 797 but Dolphin 3.0 793

Dolphin 3.0 (310.33 beta ) : Dolphin 3.0 doesn't have 2.5x IR so i have to use 2x IR


Dolphin 3.0 784 (Nvidia 306.23 whql ) : No difference in speed between 2x IR and 2.5x IR


Dolphin 3.0 793 (310.33 beta ) : Same

You are missing most important screenshoot-dolphin 3.0 Nvidia 306.23 whql
But you seem to get this speedup,because dolphin 3.0 is supposed to be slower,not faster then 3.0-784 ( because of rodolphos improvements )

---

To make it easy for anyone wishing to contribute to testing:
There is only 2 tests which needs to be done,both using dolphin 3.0,one with 306.23 drivers and other with 310.33
I havent tested 306.97 whql drivers yet,so not sure about them

I forgot to take that screenshot lol . It's the same result
Actually, the difference in speed between 3.0 and 3.0 784 may not be noticeable (at least for me)
