Hey there, trying to play Xenoblade Chronicles on my SB2 15", specs:
i7 8650U
GTX 1060
16GB RAM
When trying the "stable" version (5.0) and running at native resolution (no FPS hacks or textures either) I get stutters, sometimes during busy moments, other times for seemingly no reason at all. What's strange is for 10-15 minutes at a time the game runs flawlessly... Laptop is plugged in and in performance mode, I have selected the GTX 1060 to be used in NVIDIA control panel, and witness no throttling when motoring hardware performance. In-fact, both my GPU and CPU are under 25% usage while Dolphin is running in game, I don't see any performance spikes or anything when I encounter lag, all temperatures are low.
After further testing this appears to be the case with the latest Dolphin version too and when upping the resolution (even by 4x) I'm in the same situation. Perfect performance for 10 minutes at a time, sometimes longer, then random lag spikes during abilities or for seemingly no reason at all, with insane lag every once in a while which leads to forced termination.
Any ideas? Would really appreciate some help...
PS: I've tried switching between OpenGl, Dx11, and Dx12 to no effect.
