Getting Lag During Emulation - mark.sugden88 - 11-11-2018

My emulator is lagging while I'm playing my Cube; especially during cinematics.

I'm running it on a cheapo laptop that I bought at Walmart, so maybe that's the problem.

Specs are:

Operating System: Windows 10/ x64bit OS/
Processor/ CPU: Intel® Celeron® CPU N3350 @ 1.10GHz
Video Card/GPU: Intel® HD Graphics (Driver Version: 22.0.16.4749
Memory/RAM: Installed RAM 4.00 GB

Running Dolphin 5.0

I checked a post on the forum and followed the instructions that worked for somebody else, but for me it doesn't work. Maybe it's the computer I'm using...

This was the post I read on your forum:

If someone can tell me what the problem is I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

You hit it right on the head. Your PC is too slow.

@helios Thanks for clearing that up.

If you want a good baseline that will run everything in Dolphin, look at a Haswell (or newer) / Ryzen (or newer) CPU with two or more physical cores at 3.7 ghz or faster
