Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Whenever Dolphin hits 25% cpu and/or memory usage hits 800mb+ GUI starts to be slow and almost unusable. the rendering and the computer itself are not affected

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Hard to reproduce and its pretty self explanatory, Not sure how to STR.

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

I could say 7xxx onwards, i've tried few versions 6xxx-8xxx and the issue had disappeared but that might be because something temporal

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Gigabyte GA-Z97X G1 Gaming 7
Intel Core i7 4790
EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 SC w/ACX
2x8gb ddr3 1,6ghz

I've had something like this happen a few times. I don't remember under what circumstances, though, so more investigation is needed here.

i barely remember and i've been testing some builds attempting to narrow the issue with Fog_TAS on irc.

Ideas?

Usually this is caused by the GPU lagging for me. I think "Computer is running at max, so the UI is lagging" kind of makes sense? I think this is working as intended, honestly.

Apparently that's slightly unacceptable.

If you set IR to 8x, is that the same effect you see?

What do you mean by "set IR to 8x" ?

Actions #9

Updated by Juesto almost 9 years ago

Actually in-game input does work properly and i've experienced it with both gc and wii games

It means set the internal resolution in the graphics settings to 8x native.

Regardless of IR the emulation stays the same.
Could be an effect from "Ignore any changes to the EFB format"?

with 8x the the gpu is almost fully able to handle it: 94% at first.

I haven't had this happen since switching to Qt. A bug I will not miss.
