Triple channel is on 3 DIMMs, not 2 or 4.
Op, the 930 should be more than enough but sounds like HT. Dolphin is set to use 2 cores(assuming you have it enabled), and Windows sees Hyperthreading as multiple cores. So it might be only using one logical core, but both threads on that core.
The 930 still has a high IPC performance rating too.
Has more than what my new 7850k has.

Seems we've pulled this thread a little off topic. Is it certain that processor speed is my bottleneck here? If so is there any way to verify that's the case or anything I can try to get this game to run at full speed with EFB2RAM? Thanks
RE: What's my bottleneck here? - vbetts - 02-01-2014
The speed isn't the issue, it's HT.

Run this once with HT on, then once with HT off. A real Wii can run this benchmark in about 17 minutes.
RE: What's my bottleneck here? - Nemesys - 02-01-2014
I've had HT off since the beginning, I only flipped it on once to see the effect. Thanks for the link though, I'll benchmark my machine, though it still won't solve my problem.
RE: What's my bottleneck here? - vbetts - 02-01-2014
What other settings are you running?
It wasn't accurate, but I don't remember having any major speed issues on my old Athlon 2 X3 machine.

Everything is in my first post, I think. Running everything as low as possible, Skip EFB and Ignore format changes are currently checked. Have tried versions with streaming vertex hack for OpenGL with no real luck. Like I said I don't mind using D3D, just want it to be pinned at 60fps.
Here's my benchmark fwiw:

Okay, but what are your other Dolphin settings? You also shouldn't need to create a profile in Nvidia control panel either.
Post a picture of all of your settings from each tab.
