I was wondering if it would be possible for the emulator to take advantage
of our video cards to add some more speed to games. As it is now with my
single core PC, I'm not getting very playable framerates on a SC Athlon 64
processor. I think if my processor were working along side and with my GPU
that some games might benefit from this and run faster if our video cards
were picking up some of the slack here.

I'm no coder but I think this would be largely contingent upon the video plugins.

That's probably true to a point, but the core would also need to tell the plugins to
use our video cards more. As with most new video cards, I have 600mhz of GPU core
speed that is not being used at all.

Saying "make it faster" isn't helpful; if you think you know how to make Dolphin faster by using the
graphics card, patches are welcome...

In luigis mansion at my hd2600pro gpu usage is ingame 70-80% in window so emulator
uses a lot gpu power allready in my opinion

Come on, Magum, no one said "make it faster" as in some jackass posting some stupid
comment as you seemed to make it come across. You've let some pretty silly reports go
by without you posting and saying a damn thing. Now I post this and it seems to be a
problem? If you guys don't know how to take advantage of the GPU to increase speed,
then just say so, but don't brush off the comment as if I was some asshole.
Who the hell gave you the right to pass this report off as nothing, anyway? Did you
ever think that some other devs might want to take a look at this?
