Slows down after a few matches

[shangry]

So when I first start playing, matches in Project M are super smooth, everything works normally.
However, after a few matches, it drops completely. Running it in windowed mode solves it, so I don't know how much it drops exactly, but I do know it's a lot (maybe half speed).
I upgraded to Windows 10 and this started happening. I knew I shouldn't have xD
But now I'm here. So any solutions to this? It seems like something is eating up more of my RAM than it should, maybe?

My settings are 3x IR, 8x AA, I could run it for hours and hours like that on Windows 8.1 but Windows 10 can't handle even 2x IR and 4x AA.

Help, please?

Nvidia Optimus issues
Use Nvidia Inspector to check your GPU load . If your GPU load = 0% , Dolphin is using your iGPU (Intel HD) , not your GTX 860M

I don't have an integrated card though, it isn't really an 860M but a hybrid, since I'm using an Alienware Alpha. That's just the closest thing to it xP
I will try doing that Nvidia fix and see what happens though.

There is no way on earth you can't have and btw it's not a card . It's built inside your CPU , you can not remove it and neither your manufacturer can

Oh got it. But yeah, that didn't help at all. Same thing still happened

OKAY. Ishiiruka build is working so far with Async shaders. That means that dolphin either has a problem with the shader cache, or Windows 10 has a problem with OGL.

Shaders have nothing to do with slowing down after a certain amount of time. I'd put money on the fact that your laptop is overheating after so long.
