Intel Turbo Boost Difficulties
Okay, okay. I frequently play Gamecube/ Wii (mostly Gamecube) games on Dolphin Emulator. However, my processor (a laptop i7) is just on the verge of being able to run them. For example: Super Mario Sunshine runs just under 90% speed on high-ish settings without turbo boost. When my processor turbo-boosts, I can run the game flawlessly on highest settings.
For whatever reason, sometimes it just doesn't turbo boost, or it starts and stops.
For example: When I start a game, I look at the turbo boost monitor and its turbo boosting almost as high as it will go. Ill put the game in fullscreen and play it for a little while (with it running perfectly), then ill notice a sudden frame drop. At that point I go back and look at the turbo boost monitor and its stuck at basic speed, not turbo boosting.
Sometimes it wont turbo boost at all, sometimes I can play for hours with it running the whole time, sometimes it starts and stops. And I always make sure I have all background/ any other programs closed to ensure its under the same conditions.
Can anyone give me any advice on what the problem might be or how to fix it?
