A small difference in lighting quality, but a huge difference in stuttering caused by shader compilation. If you want a smooth experience without frequent pauses, do NOT enable this option (enhancement).
Also disable aniso filtering (set it to 1x) - it causes various issues / removes certain effects.
This is the answer I looked for. The stuttering drove me crazy despite having good hardware. I enabled CPU-GPU-Sync to get rid of it most of the time but this simple checkbox eliminates the stuttering without sacrificing performance.
The devs should definately label this checkbox with a warning. These unnecessary stutters make Dolphin an unenjoyable experience.
