Framerate Stuttering (Even at 60fps)

Well, this does seem to improve it slightly, although it's not perfect. I think I'm actually going to give up on this issue because it's good enough as it stands, and I fear there may not be any real solution to it. Also, I have no idea how to do Dolphin netplay, sorry :p

Try enabling a windows basic theme / disabling areo. A friend of mine was having the same issue and he said that fixed it completely.

Wow, that totally worked. Thanks a lot for that.

I know it was touched on before, but if you have stuttering, try to enable vsync in Dolphin's settings before anything else. I've been able to consistently reproduce stuttering in a wide array of programs when vertical sync is disabled while Windows' desktop composition is enabled. Windows basically "forces" vsync on non-exclusive-fullscreen/windowed applications, even if they do not have vsync enabled. You may still get >60 FPS, although input may be delayed and there's generally a lot of stuttering.

It's a really dumb Windows issue that doesn't seem to have much attention.
