Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So i see people online running Sonic colors and sonic unleashed with worse specs than mine, though for me both games dip to about 40fps. Is there anything i'm missing? Is it an nvidia thing? My specs are here:

GPU: GTX 1060 3gb

Proccessor: Intel core i5-7400 3.0 ghz

RAM: 8gb DDR4

post screenshots of your graphics settings

I've tried lowering most of the settings, but none have improved the framerate whatsoever so they're a bit high. For example, I get the same performance at 480p as i do 1080p.

Both of those game only run at 4030FPS, are you using a hack or do you mean VPS?

Edit: I made a big dumb

Vps sorry. I haven't even attempted the 60fps patches yet. But yea the audio is all slow and garbled even in the sonic colors opening cinematic. The sonic unleashed opening runs at 60 but then drops to 40 the second the 1st cutscene ends and it gets to the earth exploding. Then the next cutscene it gets fast again then slow etc.

Instead of setting IR to Auto, try setting it to a number, like 3x.

Also, are you running the latest dev build?

Earlier I mentioned resolution has no effect on performance. 1080p and 480p manual settings both give low fps. Also, I'm using stable 5.0.

Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Turn on "High Performance" power plan.

Right click on desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Make a profile for Dolphin.exe > Set "Preferred power mode" to "Prefer maximum performance"

That should eliminate your system being confused at Dolphin's low load that it needs.

Update to the latest development build of Dolphin.

In Dolphin:

Graphics > Backend > Direct3D 11 (needed for ubershaders to work well on nvidia)

Graphics > Aspect Ratio > Set to Auto.

Graphics > V-sync > Off (for now, just to eliminate variables)

Graphics > Enhancements > Internal Resolution > either auto (multiples of something) or 3x.

Graphics > Enhancements > Ubershaders > Hybrid

Graphics > Hacks > Uncheck "Skip EFB Access"

Config > Uncheck "Enable Cheats" (for now, I'm assuming you were using that + force 16:9 for some widescreen hack)


Try now.

Odd, hasn't gone up a frame. still getting 36-40 vps sonic colors.

uh, check to make sure the nvidia profile we created is pointing at the development version of dolphin.exe.


I should have told you to update and then make the profile, oops.
