Is something wrong? - Dry4Haz - 01-03-2014
Hi, I'm having trouble to get good preformance for wind waker. I had good preformance long ago but I stopped playing because I lost my save.
Anyways, now when I play it plays around 70% - 100% speed and I don't know why. By the way, I used your permorfance guide.
Here are my computer parts:
cpu: amd 3.6 GHz quad-core
ram: 8GB
System: windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Graphics card: Nvidia geforce gtx 660

Use CPU-Z to find out exactly which CPU you have. Some of the newer AMD chips have bad single-core performance (which Dolphin relies on). As Dolphin gets more accurate, it becomes more demanding.

Sorry, but it is very weak for Dolphin.

You were probably using an old version of Dolphin, much less demanding than the one you're now using.
This might partly explain your performance drop

Try opening the graphics settings to reset the game-specific config. Make sure EFB to RAM is set to EFB to Texture.
Alternatively you can try switching to Direct 3D 9
As for why this happened randomly, it could be because of a Windows update or graphics card update. I assume you're using the same Dolphin version, or that may be the case too.

Or better enough: OpenGL + Vertex Streaming Hack.
