Hello, I recently purchased an Alienware m17 and thought I'd give Dolphin a try on it. Its a big step up from my old Voodoo Firebird, yet I am experiencing some issues with stuttering, mainly on cut scenes and cinematic scenes. It seems to be happening on most of the games (even Gamecube games that ran on my old Firebird). No matter what I change the various settings to the end is the same, it just takes longer for it to start stuttering on cut scenes and video. It seems like there is some "cache" that is filling up but I'm not sure.
I have opened my Nvidia settings and added the Dolphin.exe and changed it to max performance. I have also set my power options to high performance. When I exit the emulator and re-open it and begin where I left off the lower frame rates/stuttering disappears for a few minutes then starts back. I have checked my PC temp and its not overheating.
I am using one of the latest revisions of Dolphin 4.0 (1342). My PC specs are Intel Core i7-4900MQ Processor (Overclocked, 8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz w/ Turbo Boost), 32 GB Ram, Windows 7 Ultimate, Nvidia 780M w/4 GB vram, 2 terabyte raid 0 hard drive with 80 GB SSD caching.
What could I possibly be missing here?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
