Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Faster build time's is back baby. It's good again. Awoouu (wolf Howl)

I prefer vulkan over any other frankly. I only used DX12 to see how it worked for f-zero

wooooooooo

Yeah I saw that. I posted a comment but it was removed. I suggested that you guys (the devs) open an announcement if you haven't already so people don't wander why D3D 12 suddenly disappeared.

D3D 12 was a huge improvement for F-zero, I was disappointed when I was using Dolphin on my Windows 7 machine and discovered that I wouldn't be able to use it. Then I tired the development build with Vulkan and got pretty much the same results

You didn't read the first line of the PR description.

I've always used Dx12 plugin without any issues, for me Vulkas plugin was/is much more bugged
Seems like I will have to use only Ishiruka and abandon master builds

Wait you're the person that said that JIT optimizations and *hotkey* fixes made dolphin slower


lmfao.

Well, I mean, okay

Yes I did, I didn't think my comment was off topic :/

Just ask Skidau if an hotkey code change can cause a slowdown

I never saw Skidau saying such a thing o.O

While I understand why the devs want to remove DX12, it's currently the best backend for me -- both in terms of performance and compatibility. I tried Vulkan and had a few games that just presented a blank black screen. I could hear the game audio but couldn't see anything. Also DX12 gives me the best performance when I want to turn on SSAA.
