F-Zero GX slowdown

[djgil12]

Hey everyone! I'm encountering an issue in Fzero GX where whenever I hit the 3rd race(Sand Ocean) the game has heavy slowdown. It seems to be a somewhat common isssue but none of the solutions I've seen purposed have worked for me. I tried Skip EFB Access from CPU, switching between OpenGL and Direct 11, forcing 16:9. I turned the resolution down to the minimum even with all this stuff the best I can seem to get it to run is about 75-80% VPS. Any other things I should try. I saw some people saying it would run better with Vulkan but I can't find anywhere to install it.

Thanks in advance guys!

I using you profile info for reference. It say you using the 5 stable. Use the newest beta, this was a issue that was fix with newer builds. Here the wiki page for f-zero gx for more info. It should get to the problem in question. Also vulkan came after dolphin 5.0.

Okay I've installed the newest beta and have adjusted my settings based on the link you sent and it runs even worse.

Are you using any enhancements like ir above 1x. U cpus tend to struggle with sustained workloads and lower the clock speed more then non u The full graphic setting panel that has enhancements in would be useful. I know from my experience with an i5 8265u that I have to run that game with a 1x to get 60fps constantly

I just booted it up again and it runs great, not sure what the issue was that night. Thanks a lot man!

Maybe a window update in the background or something similar. I notice my 8265u laptop with lower performance when it charging over when it not also so maybe that a factor. Anyway it good to here you seem to fix the problem.
