Hello Smile

A friend is using this emulator for quite a while now (and is very happy with it) and therefore I've given it a try.

Unfortunately it doesn't run as expected on my Laptop.

My Laptop has:

Intel Core i76500U 2.5GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650M with 4GB dedicated VRAM
8GB DDR4 Memory

The Emulator and the Games are currently lying on the built in HDD, not the SDD.

When starting MArio KArt Wii, I get pretty good Frames, but occasionally drastic Framedrops (from 60 to 15 FPS) Twice to thrice a race. Sometimes it drops to 80% speed for a lap or race.

In Mario Kart Double Dash I've never got over 30 FPS (50% speed).

Which of the compartments is it' which is to weak? I've checked with the minimal requirements and my laptop seems to be way above this.

When starting a Game, I have 85% RAM taken away says the Task Manager (by all running threads).

It would be great, if someone could tell me, in which component the error lies

Thanks, T-Dog

Your CPU and GPU should be fine to handle both Mario Kart games. Since you're on a laptop, a couple of suggestions:

1) Make sure you're either plugged into a power outlet or set Windows to use something better than Balanced power mode (System > Power & Sleep > Additional power settings > should be something like High Performance or Gaming).

2) Make sure your laptop is setting the Nvidia GPU power mode correctly. Sometimes the GPU won't be used properly in Adaptive modes with Dolphin, so you have to force maximum performance mode.

3) Make sure you're using ubershaders in Dolphin (Graphics > Shader Compilation > Asynchronous (Ubershaders)).

Um, are you sure those specs are correct, especially the GPU? GeForce 600 line on laptops were pretty common during Ivy Bridge (3rd generation), yet your laptop has a much newer Skylake (6th gen) CPU. Other strange thing is having 4 GB of VRAM since the GT 650M (there's no "GTX 650M") topped at 2 GB of VRAM...
