use direct3d9 plugin. don't go with default settings...use direct3d9 plugin, enable efb copy to texture in plugin config. if the plugin doesn't appear, it means update DirectX

How you mean 2.75 usable?
Can you only use 2.75? If so I know a trick to use ur full 4 GB.

no trick AFAIK... it's 32-bit OS which doesn't support more than that. Undecided

Huh I tried what you said and updated my Direct-x …
The game is now slightly better but still the FPS Drops down suddenly , the game is faster than before but still unplayable ..

Should I change the game properties (( right click on the game )) ?
I also got two massages before the game start when I changed the plug-in and the massages were :

VarToD3D: invalid type/ size combo 0 , 4

Failed to create D3D vertex declaration!

What do you think should I do ?

about the usable ram (( 2.75 )) i don't know why !! is that an error or what ? and if so how can i fix it and use all my rams ?

thanks for help Smile

Install Windows 7 x64 bit (4Gb Ram is fair enough) and sure it will boost speed for you.In Direct3D plugin ->"config"->advance tab check "Enable EFB copy" "to texture"..Uhh..here

RE: FPS Drops Down / Is My PC Good Enough ? - Reooo - 05-14-2010

I Installed Windows 7 – 64 Bit & Guess What ?
Ok , First The Crash Bandicoot Game Is A Game Cube Not A Wii Game ..
2nd , I Tried To Play Smackdown Vs RAW 2010 Wii , When The Game Starts The FPS Is 60 And Sometimes It Is 70 .. At One Moment It Was Around 145 FPS And Even A Bigger Value , And When I Start A Match It Goes Down To Around 20 FPS .. And The Match Is Slow And Unplayable !

The Problem Is That I Can’t Define Where The Problem Is ..
U Said That My Hardware Is Fine , I Installed Direct X Latest Edition & I Am Using The Emulator’s 64 Bit Version ..

I Am Using The File DolphinIL , It Is Slightly Faster Then The Other One ..

DX9 Graphics Plug-in Properties :
Direct 3D : Safe Texture Cache On
Enhancement : EFB Scaled Copy On
Advanced : Disable Fog & EFB Copy To Texture Are On
Wii : Enable Progressive Scan Is On

Both Games Properties Are All On

The WWE Smackdown Vs RAW Game :
FPS Was 145 Right Be4 The Match Starts .. And It Became Suddenly 20 And It Moved Around 20 FPS During The Match

In The Game Properties – Right Click On The Game ..
I Unchecked This One (( Disable Copy To EFB )) And The FPS Became Around 15 When The Match Starts And I Tried To Edit The Game Properties But Nothing Seems To Work !

Lets Try Crash Bandicoot
First A Got Two Warning Massages :
1 : VarToD3D: Invalid type/size combo 0 , 4
2 : Failed to create D3D vertex declaration!

There Were No Options But Ok , So I Clicked
FPS Is Around 10 In The Game !!
And It Is 70 When A Video Starts ..
The Sound Looks Bad , I Mean All Sound Effect’s Are On !!
The Highest FPS Value I Got Were 15 And It Didn’t Last Long

S.O.S
Help !!
