So I've got an Asus Republic of Gamers laptop.
8 gigs of ram, i7 mobile at 2.00 GHz, 64 bit OS with Windows 7.
I've had the Dolphin since version 3.0 and it ran fantastically. Always at 90% minimum for most games, decided to try it again recently out of nostalgia and it worked as good as I remembered for a couple of days. Still using 3.0.
Then I suddenly had a drop down, a significant drop down, like down to 30%. The audio keeps up fine, but the video for some reason lags unbearably. I've gone through the speed up tutorials, tried 3 different versions of Dolphin (ranging from 3.0 32 bit with compatibility to the current Dolphin-win-x64-v3.5-367) and I've now got three seperate install versions of Dolphin all running the same lag as soon as anything 3D pops up on my screen. Menus and such are fine, loading screens zip by, but as soon as anything with a polycount comes on screen?
Dead in the water.
Again, it's super odd because I know my laptop is great for gaming (I can run Mass Effect 3 at full specs with no slow down) and everything worked perfectly yesterday. The -only- thing I can think of is that I installed 3D Ripper to capture some models for a machinima project I'm working on.
