Also, the menus in Mario Kart are limited for a different reason; not a good benchmark result. Only the Haswell's can handle them because of how they play videos or something in the background it's silly.

Eh.. IR4x ridiculously high for a Nvidia gtx 780ti..? Not true. Even with my AMD 7950 I can easily choose IR4x with lots of games; Windwaker and MarioKart Wii are no exception. So the 780ti should have no problem at all with it; which shows in the graphs, because it doesn't seem to run at "full speed".. Core clock = 653mhz and memory clock = 405mhz. Core should have a boost clock of around 925mhz.. So it's not really flexing it muscles at all - so it seems.

Which could be part of the issue. I notice smoother framerates when I stress my GPU some more (so that it doesn't switch to lower clock-speeds, which sometimes causes a small hiccup). So you could try amping up de MSAA, so that you stress your GPU a little further. Maybe this helps? Again, with these 2 games IR4x is a piece of cake for the almight 780ti (which really is a beast).

Also, you could try re-installing your GPU drivers (a faulty uninstall can create some weird issues). Make sure to uninstall them REALLY good with DDU: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html

Okay Ill go ahead and give that a try. Anything that can help I will do!

4X IR is no problem for a GTX 780, sure, but it also affects the processor in certain games.

I just tried DDU and reinstalled my drivers - no change what so ever. Is there something else I am missing? Also @JMC47 I did lower the IR to 2x and I am still getting those drops.

Did you try stressing your GPU a little further by enabling MSAA? See what that does ingame?

Again, did you try setting the GPU for Maximum Performance in Nvidia's drivers? Does the speed improve when lowering the IR

@JMC47 - Even if the increased IR adds noticeable stress to a CPU, Wind Waker should not be dropping FPS like that with an i5-2500K OC'ed at his level. I had no trouble doing it myself with inferior hardware. Other games maybe, but WW is super-light. It looks like an under-utilized GPU from what GPU-Z says.

Yep.... If anyone wants to try and help me, I am running my benchmark by going from Dragon's Roost to Forest Haven

I did set it for Performance but I did notice that when I lowered the IR my GPU is literally doing nothing and I am still getting drops. So does this point to my CPU?

32bit Dolphin is a lot slower. But, your previous tests were on 64bit. Something is obviously wrong. Your computer should be able to handle it

Here is a Mario Kart screenshots that isnt in the menu. Now Mario Kart is crashing dolphin so I cant get any more... What is going on?

Yeah I know... thats what I was afraid of. I even bought myself a Bluetooth dongle and a usb sensor so I can play Wii for real.

Some screenies of Super Mario Galaxy

Can you try changing EFB2Ram to EFB2Texture?

Sorry for the late reply, but I did change it like you said and there is no difference at all.
