FPS problem - littleman794 - 01-17-2011
I just got the latest version of Dolphin (r6861) and I finally got my controls worked out with my mouse and keyboard and I have Super Mario Galaxy 2. the game seems to run fine with audio and no bugs or display errors, but it only plays at ~21 fps, pretty slow. i have my configuration and graphic settings set as suggested on the main site. i have the intel i5 chip. any help or suggestions to bring my fps up? Would it be better if i got 2.0?
~~~~~~~~~
also, for some reason i cant collect stars by putting the pointer over the stars. i checked my CPU usage in the control panel while running the game and it was only at 50% usage. so im confused why its still playing at a low fps. (now its getting a little closer to 30 fps since i ended some processes)

Having the same problem... hopefully someone will chime in soon... Do you know of anyway to turn anti-alising completely off? I noticed in the new version it is always on atleast 1x

*facepalm*
1x is the same as off. 1 sample per pixel means nothing is being changed. Just like how setting efb scaled copy to 1x would be the same as turning it off.

Try using r6505. Or if you are running a 64 bit OS try this revision: http://cid-b8ece3275d590dda.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Dolphin/Dolphin%20X64%20SSE4.2%20SVN%20Revision%206498.7z

Dolphin only uses 2 threads and you have a quad core cpu. That's why.

tried both of those, didnt make much of a difference. is it just my computer? i cant see why it would be though... its a 700 dollar HP (not the best i know) but it has the i5 intel chip n stuff which is only one level down from i7 so i figured it would be good.

Having the same problem with all recent releases; I was easily getting 70FPS in most games a few weeks ago but I have unfortunately deleted those directories and can't remember what builds I was actually using...going to try and use RC version but I guess it is missing a lot of optimisations.

@littleman794
Do you have a video card or are you using integrated graphics? That might be why.

Ok, I have tracked it down!
I can't say for sure but I believe at some point there has been a change in the default settings to use EFB ---> RAM
For myself, I stumbled upon switching to copy efb to texture and disabling CPU->EFB acces and most of my games are back to awesome FPS again
Now if I could just figure out how to get my wiimote to work in milestone shooting collection 2 I would be over the moon!

EFB to RAM has been default for ages now...

This setting represents almost surefire fail for most of my games.
As in 25fps vs easy 60-70 in many titles. Shrugs.
