My computer has a A8-7600 AMD APU as my processor/GPU. I installed dolphin-emu-git and I tried running Mario Kart on it using it's default settings but I was barely able to get above 30 FPS during gameplay. I set my resolution down from 1080p to 720p and the performance did not improve. At first I figured that this processor was too weak so I tested the dolphin benchmark from here...

I got 10 minutes and 17 seconds as the total time, which puts it on par with a i7-3770k according to the spreadsheet in the benchmarks thread. Also, there is this video...

Using an a8-5500 (which is lower spec) dolphin is able to get up 40-60 fps regularly.
So my question is... Why is the performance so bad with Mario Kart? Is there a setting I'm missing? Currently I'm using the open source drivers because the catalyst drivers kept causing my machine to freeze. Are the open source drivers the problem? Thanks!
