Hi there, I'm having an odd issue with Melee, and the reason I'm posting here is because I can't tell if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. I assume hardware because Dolphin has a 5 star for compatibility.
The issue I'm having is that unpredictably, Dolphin will just decide to drop a few frames here and there, which causes the game to slightly sputter, which throws off any fight you're trying to have.
The same issue is across the board as far as settings and situations go. I could be fighting 1v1 with a cpu on the simplest stage with every enhancement disabled, or a 4-player free for all on the fountain of dreams with all the enhancements I'd like. It'll be 100% speed most of the time, but randomly sputter.
Here are my specs:
Intel Core i7-3930k 3.20 GHz
Corsair 16 GB RAM
GeForce GTX 770
Windows 7 x64
Dolphin 3.5-1387 x64
I don't seem to experience this at all in other games, likely because they're so much less intensive, but it seemed to me that if it has the capability to run at 100% most of the time, I'd like to find out what's causing it to choke.
My core speed is holding constant in CPU-Z, so I can't find anything else to try.
Thanks for the help in advance, and hopefully this isn't a terrible stupid first post waiting to be deleted that has been answered elsewhere!
