Bad cpu or gpu? Baldurs gate: Dark Alliance - davidrohusch - 07-16-2014
In first cutscene i have full speed 60fps, but when i am in tavern i got really big slowdown in cutscenes.
I have Intel pentium g3258 overclocked to 3.8GHZ and Nvidia 210

G3258 is an excellent CPU for Dolphin . Base on official Dolphin Benchmark , G3258 @ 4.5GHz outperforms Core i7 4770k @ 4.3GHz
Nvidia GT 210 is beyond salvation . It's even weaker than a 2 year old integrated GPU : Intel HD 4000 which is not good for Dolphin
Baldurs gate: Dark Alliance is a demanding game
If you want more speed for free , just push your CPU frequency higher . G3258 can be oced to 4.6GHz with Intel Stock Fan...
Or just get latest low power consumption GPU like EVGA GTX 750 (non-Ti version)
Edit : Btw , x86 OS is not a good choice for Dolphin . If you want more speed then you must install x64 OS and use x64 version of Dolphin

Maybe try the iGP built in with the G3258?

The G3258's integrated GPU would fair worse than the 210 I believe. It has the lowest level of Intel HD graphics for Haswell. (Intel HD GT1)
But yeah, your GPU would definitely hold you back in this instance.

A 750 Ti will play PC games pretty well, and Dolphin at 4x IR, and its only like $100 or so

750 Tis usually run around 150$ actually... :/

I have a Radeon 7770 works wonders for me, believe theyre about 80 bucks.

Oh with a rebate. Yeah if it didnt have a rebate it wouldn't have made much sense.
RE: Bad cpu or gpu? Baldurs gate: Dark Alliance - KHg8m3r - 07-17-2014
Yup, so technically it's cheaper than $150 once the rebate comes back
