specs
4.0 - 4575
intel 4770K @ 4.0ghz
EVGA 780 Ti
8gb DDR3 2400
samsung 840 EVO SSD
windows 8.1 x64

settings
open GL
v-sync off
AA none
AF x1
DSP HLE
JIT recomplier

game runs smooth most of the time but every now and then the emulator has a hiccup the FPS drops and the game studders.

since i already have the AA and AF as low as it can go i was hoping somebody here can suggest a few tweaks so i can play the game without slow downs.

Probably shader cache stuff; you'll have to just deal with it; it'll happen less and less as you play the game and the shaders are cached.

it's annoying. i don't want to just deal with it. i want it to go away.

Try Ishiiruka Dolphin:

It has the Predictive FIFO + Full Async Shader and does wonders. Give it a try.

i'm gonna try. thanks for the tip.

Ishiiruka had the same lag, until i turned on FIFO and async. now it runs perfectly even with AF 16x and AA 8x quality level 32. thank you for being helpful.

now i want to make it look the best it can. should internal resolution be window size or 6x ?

You should be able to get away with 4-6x. I don't really think there's much of a quality difference between the two resolutions though.
