OK, it's been a while but I think I finally figured out what is causing the stuttering. I ran dolphin alongside GPU-Z and I noticed sometimes my graphics card tries to switch to idle mode and the Bus interface switches to PCI-E x1 v 1.1 from PCI-E x16 v.3.0 for a second.
Does this mean that Dolphin isn't stressing my graphics card enough so it tries to switch to low power mode, then it quickly figures out that it can't run it in low power mode, switches back, and that's what causes the stutter? How do I get my power card to stop trying to switch to idle mode?
