F-Zero GX, lagging badly? - RaptorZX3 - 01-10-2011

i always run the latest revision of Dolphin (64-bit version on my PC, and so many peoples are saying F-Zero GX run great on it...

I got the game now and it often lag like hell during gameplay, for example, at the title screen (while there's a demo of AIs racing together) it lag a lot, framerate often dropping below 50%.

Here's my quick PC specs:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.73 Ghz
G.Skill 4 x 2gb DDR3-1600
eVGA Geforce GTS 250 512mb
Western Digital WD10EALS 1Tb Blue drive
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI

i don't think my PC is the problem, maybe the emulation isn't perfect?

in DirectX9 settings, here's what i have:

None are enabled in Advanced.

If it's possible...what should i do to make it run smoothly?

Either use the r6571 revision or wait. The lag is caused by the WIP FIFO code.

i see the r6571 is still buggy sometimes (it crashed at the title screen while i was doing something else (saying something about the GPU de-sync), but generally-speaking, the gameplay is smooth and more regular than the newer builds.

But the FIFO is supposed to be faster than the previous builds, when it's fully optimized?

Yes, but it's not ready yet.
