Sorry if this has been asked or solved before but I cant seem to find anything else on it and the wording is tricky. I only have two games fire emblem path of radiance and smash bros melee. In both games it seems like every 20 seconds there is a second of lag as if my FPS is dropping or it is skipping frames. I've been messing with the settings and it does the same thing on basically every setting all back ends and resolutions. I have the FPS counter enabled and when it does "lag" there is no drop in FPS. Also, when I unlimit the fps I can run the game at around 160-180 fps without encountering the problem (although it is unplayably fast). In fire emblem when I limit it to 50 fps it doesn't seem to do it but i dont think thats the native FPS which bothers me and in melee it is choppy when limited to 50 but there is no "skip" I've tried all the settings I can think of and it would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light on this.
