This is a video of me beating Event 41 on Hard in Super Smash Bros. Brawl using Dolphin.

Dolphin version: Dolphin SVN R 4466
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7-920, overclocked to 3.60 GHz
Graphics: Dual-SLi Nvidia GeForce GTX 260, overclocked
RAM: Corsair Dominator 6 GB DDR3 RAM
Motherboard: EVGA X58 3X SLi

Graphics plugin: Dolphin D3D9
Resolution: 1680x1050 fullscreen
Anti-aliasing: 16xQ CSAA
Anisotropic filtering: 16x

These are the highest graphics settings possible on Dolphin.

I am very impressed with the current D3D9 plug-in. Although anti-aliasing is turned up max, anisotropic filtering 16x is turned on, and the resolution is 1680x1050, the emulation runs at perfection, and looks great doing it. On top of that, the part in this video is a graphically-intense FOUR-MAN brawl, and FRAPS is recording, which is supposed to strain the CPU. Despite all this, however, the FPS of the game while the video was recording was nearly perfect, with only 1 or 2 stutters. Honestly, Dolphin DX9 works wonders.
