I am using Dolphin 5.0-11671. My GPU drivers are up to date (442.19). My system specs are: Ryzen 1600x, MSI GTX 1080, Samsung NVMe SSD, Gskill 16GB DDR3 2993Mhz RAM, fully updated Windows 10. I have a 144hz monitor, BUT for sake of the emulator I set it to 60 hz
The issue is the following: I have been trying to get Smash Bros Melee to run stutter free. It runs well most of the time, but every now and then its stutters; aka it freezes for an instant and the audio sounds like static, for an instant. Casual players probably wouldnt mind, but I promise a competitive player would not touch it. I have changed the backends from OpenGL to D3D to Vulkan, turned on and off ubershaders, nothing seems to work. Oddly enough, turning on ubershaders made things worse. Looking at my performance monitor in task manager, nothing seems to be maxed out. If this was a conventional game, I would wonder about RAM speeds being too low; is there any chance of that being the case here?
If anybody could help me track down whatever bug is giving me grief, I would really appreciate it
EDIT when trying Tales of Symphonia, the stuttering is REALLY bad in the opening movie
