Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I can't maintain 60fps in my games. It doesn't drop by much, but it's enough to notice visual stutter.

Also, and probably because of this, audio stutters and crackles as well (even when going to OpenAL and playing with the Latency settings).

Any ideas?

Things I've tried:

- leaving Native resolution at 1x
- disabling audio (through the "Audio" settings - not just setting volume to 0%, but choosing the "No Audio Output" option)
- playing in Direct3D9, Direct3D11, OpenGL, and Software Render
- playing with V-Sync on and off
- playing with FPS limit set to "60" instead of "Auto"

System Info:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Processor/CPU: Intel Core i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50ghz (8 CPUs)
Video Card/GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770
Memory/RAM: 8GB
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: 4.0.2 x64

Try with the latest dolphin development build, you can get it here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Default settings and Direct3D should give you a nice speed bump.

Also, please give us the name of the games you are trying to play.

Just tried it with the newest build... games keep resetting :\

Trying Mario Kart: Double Dash and F-Zero GX.

F-Zero GX is known to have a reset bug outside of single core, but no other game should do that.
