I'm getting microstuttering/frame pacing issues as described in this three-year-old thread, pretty much to a tee. tl;dr it's not the typical shader cache stuff (I'm on a 1080 Ti and use Ubershaders anyway), it's some separate rendering issue. In the end of the thread, the only thing that solved the author's problem was using XFB Real, and the newer XFB Hybrid feature seemed to work as well. I've messed with everything the author of that thread has messed with, to no avail. I downloaded an older version of Dolphin that still supported XFB Real, which appears to have been removed in later versions, and that had no effect for me.
As referenced in the thread, here's a slow-motion video of what exactly is going on: https://youtu.be/LNblklPYFX8
Any ideas? I'm meticulous about this kind of thing, I've fiddled with everything I can think of, buttery-smooth gameplay continues to elude me.
On a perhaps-separate-but-perhaps-related note, it seems to me like Dolphin doesn't actually do exclusive fullscreen--in its fullscreen mode, I still see my cursor, and I can still drag windows on top of it. Looks like it's borderless to me, even though I have the borderless option disabled. If I enable the borderless fullscreen option, its behavior doesn't change at all, so it seems like it's just always borderless no matter what. Same behavior in that regard too between the latest version and the three-year-old one I tested with.
To be clear: the problem remains the same even with a totally clean install of Dolphin. I always use portable installations.
