Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I want to play Super Smash Bros Meele, i downloaded dophin and everything worked and it was 60 fps, but when stuff get messy ingame it drops to like 35-45, its annoying to play like that..
My specs:

Intel E6300 2,8 GHz Dual Core
4 gigabytes of ram DDR2
And nVidia GTS 250 @ 512mb DDR3

I know that isn't good, but still i thought it could run this perfectly imo.. Could maybe OC for CPU help anything? Im not planning to play 4 player, ik that it requires more, i was planning on playing 1v1 with my brother. Could it be done to be constantly 60 or at least 50 but constantly?

Thanks in advance.

Everything
If you overclock your CPU speed by 20% , you will gain 20% performance in Dolphin
I got 60FPS with E5300 @ 3.6GHz

I know its too much to ask, but how much you think i can go from 2,8ghz for safe overclock? Tbh im not that good with money so if i f**k up something i cant buy new piece nor computer, its E6300 @ 2,8GHz.

Quote:safe overclock

There is no such thing for Core 2 duo / Phenom II / 1st gen i3 i5 and non-k i7
Those CPU that I listed above have to overclock via BCLK
_Modern CPUs overclock by increasing multiplier . So that you can overclock CPU only .

_BCLK OC means you have to increase baseclock to overclock -> Overclock all components (include Mobo , Ram) , not only CPU . This method was outdated and not safe . Usually , the mobo and ram will die first . CPU is safe as long as you don't go overboard with Vcore (keep Vcore under 1.35V , lower Vcore = less heat = safer OC)

don`t bother OC that CPU.

What motherboard model you have? if it supports 45 nm cpus get a Core 2 Duo E8X00, the highest you can get in the E8000 line and you`ll get the precious 60 FPS you want but beware:

- get it cheap, not worth paying too much for it
- forget quad or Xrteme ones, they are going to be more expensive and will not improve much

or if you have $$$ get a new CPU+MOBO+RAM combo
