Hey everyone!
New to the forums, but I figured I'd post here first since it might help me learn more about what exactly Dolphin requires.
So I've recently been getting into using Dolphin on my desktop, which has had zero issues with it. My old Macbook just couldn't handle it though. Fortunately I just got a new laptop! It's an ASUS Zenbook UX430UN. Great build for the price. I'll post the specs below.
- 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U 1.80 GHz (Turbo 4.0 GHz, 4 Cores 8 Threads, 8 MB SmartCache, 15W)
- 512 GB SATA M.2 Solid State Drive
- 16 GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
- Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620
- 14″ NanoEdge anti-glare LED-backlit (1920x1080)
I'm fairly certain that I'm well beyond the requirements for Dolphin, but I seem to be having trouble maintaining a stable framerate? While I frequently hit 60fps, I'm also mainly playing Project M and Smash Bros. Melee so I really need a stable framerate. However, I also seem to constantly jump between 60-55 fps. Mind you this is running Dolphin fullscreen on its absolute lowest settings. Once I jump up even to 720p, everything goes to trash.
I've also been doing extensive testing in Inshiiruka, which yields better results overall, even with Ishiiruka FX shaders enabled! I consistently bounce between 60-58fps whether I'm in 480p or 720p, which makes me think that's my cap. Still, isn't that pretty inconsistent? I was under the impression that Smash Bros ran at a constant 60fps lock. Without shaders, I can even jump up to 1080p and still hit 60-58fps, but my I also start getting fits of slowdown after a while, dropping in to 30fps before hopping back up, and I think it may be due to temperature.
Overall I think my results feel WAY too inconsistent for the hardware I have on board. Any suggestions?
