Ok so I finally got around to over clocking the CPU, 4.8GHz is the best I can currently manage, but I think that's a combo of the limits of air cooling, lack of knowledge of the new bios settings, and possibly the very average power supply I'm currently using. I'm already look at replacing the power supply with a Corsair AX860i. Water cooling is probably in the works, but will require me to change cases which I not looking forward to.
Anyway here are the results: (RB's i7-2600K overclocked @ 4.8GHz for comparison.)
Rom Name: 0.141 0.141 Gain % 0.145 0.148
blitz 258 369.40 43% 371.79 318.26 dolphin 38 49.36 30% 52.12 50.44 gauntleg 370 503.17 36% 518.23 433.82 gradius4 236 290.16 23% 300.90 224.98 propcycl 259 303.46 17% 268.93 276.52 radikalb 210 319.78 52% 309.25 248.80 scud 149 174.07 17% 184.09 157.41 starsldr 85 101.34 19% 141.73 118.57
Gradius4 now joins, Blitz, Gaultleg, Propcycl & Radikalb in the 100% smooth emulation category. Scud is likely to fall in the same category if MAME devs can prefect the graphics emulation without introducing to much of a performance hit, but only time will tell.
It seams Starsldr is the new hold out to aim for now. Playing Dolphin 100% smoothly is still in catching a unicorn territory.
If all else fails, Burn the manual.
