60FPS but feels like 10FPS

[zacice]

Hello, the game I am having the issue on is Battle for Bikini Bottom.

When I am playing the game my FPS counter never moves from 60FPS but I get moments of 10 seconds where my game feels like 10FPS. HELP!

Any help would be appreciated.  

Let me know if I need to add any additional info.
Info:
Dolphin 5.0 x86
Windows 10 x86
GTX 980Ti
Corsair DDR4 16Gb RAM
i7 7700k @4.20GHz

Try the latest dev build of Dolphin, see if that helps.

Also, if you're on a 64 bit OS install, you may want to update your profile to reflect that

It helped but once I open OBS and LiveSplit I encounter the same problem. I just don't understand why it lags for no reason when I have both of these programs open. The problem is really that my FPS counter says 60 but it runs at like 10-20 FPS!

It could be anything really. Odds are Dolphin's still running fine, but your GPU is lagging or perhaps OBS is interfering. There's a valid chance this isn't a problem with Dolphin...

I had OBS running on my second monitor and even when I minimized it from my second monitor I would still get lag. However, I tested having OBS minimized on my first monitor (like moving it to the screen where I play games and minimize it there) and seemed to have fixed the problem. So I would agree that this is not a Dolphin issue. Thank you for the help.

What display performance mode is your GPU using on Nvidia Control Panel?

Maybe Multiple-display Performance Mode will either help or be the performance issue depending on the setting and its relation to things like OBS and maybe also LiveSplit.

Ah yes, a problem with many GPUs is that if you use both monitors, it'll fallback to something weird. On my laptop, if I run a game on any attached monitors, it uses onboard for output I think, and while my game is full speed, it can't output the framebuffer enough for it to be playable.

Yeah,my Intel GPU is on the 1366 x 768 laptop using 2048 x 1368 resolution on a 4K sized monitor that can't do 4K60p despite the box saying so and the manual included says HDMI can do 4k60p yet neither HDMI port will let my Shield TV access 60p only 4k30p and 1080P 60fps.
I can pick 4k30p with the laptop and my SATV but 60p never appears due to the ripoff brand I purchased on a bad whim and the same thing I could've bought online for around just over a hundred dollars. (Digital Television M280A1,despite being a monitor)

Frame drops are frequent on the monitor with the VI/s bouncing around 58-60 even with the Intel GPU set up for high performance and cores unparked.
Take note my laptop is an ULV (ultra low voltage) laptop though but one meant for budget gaming released in 2016.
So if only we knew of a good safe tweak for Intel GPUs to mitigate all frame drops on 60p/59p without having to use a much lower broken/blurry resolution.
I use that slightly higher than 1080p resolution because it fixes the muddy visuals/text issue of using an off-scale size to the laptop's native oddball non-TV resolution.

Is there an overlooked timing standard mode that works better?
I use CVT-RB (reduced blanking version of CVT). Edit: not reduced bandwidth but instead blanking according to Intel help tab.

AHA!! I figured it out, it's GeForce Experience. I stumbled upon a forum saying it might be GeForce Experience and to Update Flash Player and Shockwave. After I did that, literally the smoothest thing ever! It has even fixed all my other games problem with input lag when watching a video! Thank you to everybody posting replies.

What fixed it???

Neither Flash or Shockwave should have anything to do with it.
GeForce Experience allegedly disappeared for me at one point,but its still in the driver folders on my laptop and doesn't run.
I still use quite old drivers because newer ones are always extra buggy in some fashion lately.

What did you do to fix this,can you please be descriptive of whether you updated or removed/added/disabled GeForce Experience so I can test doing the same to see if my mild frequent stutters go away?
