Performance issues with Zelda SS

[Faisken]

I recently got around a wiimote from my cousin so I decided to try Zelda Skyward Sword. I managed to get the controller working with ease but now I'm having issues with the FPS ingame.

I think my computer is fine: i7 4700QM, GTX 765M, 8 GB ram. Fom what I can see on TechPowerUp GPU it is actually using this one and not the integrated one, as desired.

I can play Super Smash Bros Brawl in an acceptable way on 60 FPS. I've tried many configs but I can't figure out something to change to increase. It used to get bellow 10 FPS on the title screen now it reaches 20ish. In game it gets better on 30 but it lowers to 24ish (quite noticeable, even the sound) in some situations like when turning the camera or on some cutscenes like the first scene we see Zelda.

Is there any tweeks or things that I can do to get a constant FPS?

First off, you can´t compare two games that use your PC´s resources in a different manner (SSBB is way more lightweight than ZSS), is simply not fair.

Make sure you have TurboBoost enabled (if available), that Windows is on High Performance mode, that you´re on lowest settings possible and that you´re not overheating.

EDIT: Now that I mentioned the settings, could you post screenshots of all of them?

I know it is not really fair to compare them, but it was the only other game I tried on Dolphin, so, my only parameter.

Turbo Boost is on, Windows is on High performance, I think I picked the lowest settings and I can't tell if it is overheating or not, but it was slow since the start, I don't think it had time to heat.

I think I screenshotted all relevant settings, let me know if I forgot one: http://imgur.com/a/h541M

There is nothing obviously wrong with those settings, i would disable progressive scan and set texture cache to fast, set audio to hle if you didn't and make sure you game while the laptop is connected to a power outlet.

Do what Link said, and also set your Internal resolution to 1x

Ok, those changes apparently did the trick. Thanks a lot you two.

The game looks pretty bad /jarred but it runs on constant 30 fps most the time, only dipping a bit on loading screens and rarely on cutscenes, but not during the gameplay.

That´s because it´s a 30 FPS game.
