Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Windows task manager has flipped core 1/2 and core 3/4 but that's definitely the GPU thread that is hitting 100% load. Now you may claim a gpu thread bottleneck . Now do the same thing with the vbeam trick off (use whatever the default settings are) please.

Ok, here are default settings.
Not even a little difference in task manager...only difference is that LLE audio is now stuttering, and VPS value is exactly the same as FPS value...
So what can we conclude from all this ?
I would say with "vbeam trick" dolphin is showing more accurate values for VPS, atleast the ones which are more consistent with results when looking at task manager
What do you think ?

I would conclude that the VPS readings are inaccurate with the vbeam hack but I could be wrong. The CPU thread load should go down with the hack off. This is all very confusing since we don't have a deep understanding of the logic flow. I'm betting that the logic that determines VPS was never properly modified for the vbeam hack though. It could be the other way around but it's less likely.
