Hello,
While trying to play Mario Kart Wii with Dolphin Emulator, I have noticed a few problems on my Asus ROG G750JS laptop.
First, here are my PC specs :
CPU : i7 4700HQ
GPU : gtx 870m (+ intel hd graphics 4600 with Optimus)
RAM : 8 Go
They are pretty good so it should run smoothly.
I'd like to precise that my laptop has Nvidia Optimus, but I set it to use the dedicated Nvidia gpu. Also, while opening Dolphin, it says that on Optimus PCs you should set it to run on Dedicated card but set Dolphin to use the integrated graphics in the Dolphin settings, however I have to set it to Dedicated in the Dolphin settings too.
Here is my problem : while trying to play Mario Kart Wii on native internal resolution, I get 60fps (auto fps limit) and the game is pretty smooth except some frame drops and slowdowns every 20 seconds. However, when trying 2x native resolution or even 4x, I get still a solid 60fps but the game is awfully running at 50-60%, except for rare moments during which it would run at 100% and 60fps. I have the same problem with OpenGL, and I've tried a few other games. All the other games that I've tried also run bad like this. I find it strange, considering the fact that I saw videos where they ran at 100% with quite lower specs. I don't know if it is still using the integrated graphics card even though I've set it not to or if the problem is somewhere else, but I think it should run smoothly (I can run all PC games on Ultra with it, I know that emulation is not perfect but still...)
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem ?
Thanks very much in advance for your help.
