I am running core i5 6600 and a 1050ti graphics card, I am going for 720p 60 fps constant on the games that support it. Thoughts? Should I upgrade GPU or the CPU or both. As of right now I get random frame drops even after playing the game for over 3 hours over four or five different sessions. The frame drop lasts a split second but is still annoying.

You should be able to run everything in Dolphin perfectly at 1080p or even 1440p.

The frame drops you get is shader compilation and this is unavoidable, and will go away per game as shaders get cached.

I'm running very similar hardware -- GTX 1050 Ti and i5-7600. I'm running at 1080p (with 4X SSAA for most games). No significant issues. MKW drops some frames during the opening camera pan just before the race begins on some tracks, but is fine during the actual races.

I am replacing the 1050 Ti, but only because I'd like to run everything full resolution on a 4K TV. For 1080p it's fine. At 720p, what you're getting is as good as it currently gets. Throwing money at it won't change anything.

Ok thanks!  I did notice that newer version of dolphin reduce this frame drop but they also cause other issues right now and im not sure why.  Ill stick to the main 5.0 for now and see how it plays out..thank you!

Every time you change Dolphin versions, your shader cache will get invalidated and will have to rebuild (on Direct3D and OpenGL)
