I tried to lauch the game without the HD textures, it's better but there still are some jerk... There's no way to fix the problem by changing some parameters is the graphics and sound options?
First of all: I can recommend upgrading your Windows to Windows 10 as it seems to use less resources of a computer overall thus leaving more resources for Dolphin (or at least it is better optimized)
Secondly: If you have speed issues ALWAYS make sure that ALL applications are closed: NO internet browsers, no music in the background, no nothing.
Thirdly: Try the following procedure:
1. If you haven't done so already download and extract the latest development version in a NEW folder
*do not overwrite an existing installation*, you can find it if you scroll down a bit on the download page
2. Download and install the latest nVidia Driver for your GPU (found here
https://fr.download.nvidia.com/Windows/3...l-whql.exe)
3. Always have your laptop plugged in to a power-outlet while playing
4. Turn off Battery boost and Shadowplay in the GeForce Experience
5. Make sure that the nVidia Control Panel is set up to always use the GeForce card
6. Set the nVidia Control Panel to "Prefer Highest Performance" in the Advanced 3D settings
7. Set up the Windows Power Options to "High Performance"
8. Make sure Dolphin is running at its Default settings (by deleting or renaming the Dolphin Emulator folder in "My Documents" or by creating a portable.txt in the same folder as Dolphin.exe)
9. In Dolphin set IR to 1x (Internal Resolution)
10. Set Ubershaders to Disabled (or off)
*KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS WILL INTRODUCE SHADER STUTTERING, BUT THIS WILL GO AWAY WHILE PLAYING AS THE GAME BUILDS UP THE SHADER CACHE*
11. Set Graphics Back-end to Vulkan
12. Set Anti-Aliasing to 1x (or off)
13. Set Sound back-end to CubeB and HLE
14. Turn off Cheats
15. Do not use any Texture Packs
16.
Run your game, is it still slow? Then your CPU is too slow to handle this specific game. You can try setting the emulated clockspeed to 90% or 75% (or even less) but keep in mind that there is a
HUGE possibility that things will break spectacularly.
The game should always be running at 25/50FPS (PAL) or 30/60FPS (NTSC) or at 100% speed otherwise you will encounter slowdowns.
If it runs at 100% you can try increasing the IR to 2x and slowly increase the IR a single step at a time, but not higher than your native resolution, which is probably 1080p or 3x IR, if it goes below 100% speed at a higher IR at any time, go back one value.
If you've found the IR that your GPU can handle, you can slowly increase the Anti-aliasing step by step, if it goes below 100% speed at any time, go back one value.
Finally you can start increasing the Anisotropic Filtering, if it goes below 100% speed at any time, go back one value.
If you've done this, you have found the ultimate quality/speed settings for your computer to run this specific game.
As a last step you could try loading the HD texture packs, but if it is too slow, there is really nothing you can do about that.
