Optimization

[Buddyman57]

I'm looking to optimize my dolphin to my PC so I can get the best looking and performing games on dolphin. I would like some tips and tricks and what build should I run on?

Specs.
CPU i3-6100 3.70 GHZ
GPU GTX 1060 3gb
RAM 8Gb
Windows 10 pro

The default settings should work fine for most games. To get the most out of your 1060, I'd use latest master. You can probably even run Ubershaders to prevent shader compilation stuttering.

Ubershaders is a feature introduced after the 5.0 stable build, this post has more details on how they work: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/07/30/ubershaders/
Basically they stop games stuttering when new effects and such are drawn, and your GPU should be powerful enough for the performance impact to be minimal.
As for game optimizations... No need. Dolphin automatically changes it's settings in order to run games properly. The only exception to this that I'm aware of is to enable the Hyrule field speed hack in Twilight Princess, which isn't enabled by default since it causes the minimap to glitch a bit iirc.
