Is my laptop too weak to have consistent FPS?

Information 
Laptop Spec:
  • AMD A-Series A8-5557M(2.10GHz, up to 3.10GHz with Turbo Core)
  • 12GB Memory 128GB SSD
  • AMD Radeon HD 8750M Crossfire
  • 1366 x 76
  • Windows 8 64-Bit
Dolphin Version: 4.0 x64, http://www. shall not be named/download.html

Dolphin Configuration:

Dolphin Graphic Configuration:

Games & Status:
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Playable with an average of 50+ FPS, however, on certain maps or in intensive fights, the FPS drops to around 20-30ish. Switching to D3D9 made the FPS drop to around 30-40ish. Least problematic of the listed games.
  • Just Dance 3: Average of 50 FPS; however, there is sporadic
    lag that makes the FPS and audio very choppy (drops down to 25ish FPS) for around 10 seconds
    before resuming to normalcy again (happens every minute)
  • Just Dance 2014: Cannot even start, http://i.snag.gy/64aIk.jpg
  • Zelda: Wind Waker: Not very playable, average of 20-30 FPS, audio is very choppy.

I am unsure if it's because the FPS is dropping that my audio stutters and becomes choppy or it's the other way around where the audio becomes choppy and the game lags as a result.


Is the final verdict is that my laptop is too weak? Or is it something in my setting I could hopefully tweak?
Thank you for any assistance and tips.

Yes , it is
All AMD mobile APU are low-end CPU
You downloaded Dolphin from wrong site (.org not .com) . Our latest Dolphin is 4.0.2
Since Dolphin become more demanding over time ....You may have lower FPS if you use latest Dolphin

Keep in mind that Dolphin is Dual Core application , a Quad Core that is on par with Dual Core will have even less FPS in Dolphin
