Using 5.0 development (5.0-6658), on my capable machine (i5-4590 + 16GB DDR3 + GTX970), system on SSD, ROMs on HDD.
When I try to load Mario Kart Double-dash, the intro sequence can not even be played... FPS drops to single digit, it even freeze at time. I tried the different settings I could find to no avail...
Relatively fresh Windows install (win 10 Pro 64bits)
To be noted : I had it working quite well before on that very same machine (my Windows got corrupted due to bug sitting on the chair). At that time, I was using Direct3D 12 for the graphics but it is not there anymore.
Any pointer where should I look? and which kind of FPS should I expect from my hardware?
Dolphin removed DX12 support in favor of Vulkan. They're very similar to an end-user like you or me, but there may be something weird with your particular hardware that doesn't like it. Try DX11 and see how that goes.
I assume you know enough about what you're doing that you already updated you GPU's drivers recently, but it sounds like Dolphin is trying to use the integrated graphics from your i5. If you're sure drivers aren't the issue, look up how to disable integrated graphics. My friend had an issue with this; all games were defaulting to integrated instead of GPU.
