drop frame during emulation - pescara33 - 08-22-2015

hello everyone I'm new I have a big problem
I have a PC with 4 giga of video ram r9 270 AMD FX 9370
during emulation of mario kart wii or Virtua stiker 3 I of frame drops from 60 to 29 fps pass me by not allowing to play properly
I tried everything many version of dolphin to no avail
I turned off everything in the video also made several tests
but nothing after 30 seconds of the game there is the drop in frame to 20 pfs
(donkey conk too )
You can understand how help me for not have frame drops?

RE: drop frame during emulation - KHg8m3r - 08-22-2015

First off, make sure you have the latest dev build from https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ (4.0-7398 as of this post)

If that doesn't help, try switching to the D3D backend if you haven't already, as the D3D backend usually runs better than OpenGL on AMD gpus.
Make sure your framelimit is set to Auto
Make sure you're using HLE audio

If those don't help, you should overclock your CPU. Dolphin is a dual-core program, meaning it only runs on 2 CPU threads. So the faster those threads are, the faster Dolphin will run. AMD processors are not very good at single-core speeds, as their IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) is lower than what Intel has to offer in their 6th, 5th, 4th, or even 3rd gen CPUs

In other word , each core of yours is slow .
