PPSSPP performance questions

[Bluecloud223]

I have been using the PPSSPP for a while now but it seems like this emulator does not as well on my more powerful laptop than my older one. I used to play the emulator on my older toshiba satellite laptop which had an intel pentium graphic card and a processor speed of 2.16GHz. It had 500gb of memory and ran on windows 8. The laptop I am using right now is a lenovo y50 which I think has better specs than my older toshiba one since it has a quad core processor, 1 tb of space, a nvida gtx 860 as well as a intel i7 graphic card. Yet when I run the PPSSPP it seems to be more laggy and more sound stutters. I tried reading various guides and applying different fixes but none really seem to work. Altering the resolution makes it a bit better but I am wondering if anyone else has some other advice?

It would help to have a screenshot of your settings. The entire graphics tab and under system really only the emulation section matters.

Emulation performance is not always as expected on portable devices, mainly because of temperatures. Pentium is more cool than Core i7 Quad-Core, because it uses a lot less power. Anyway, check out the energy settings if high performance is enabled, it can help a little while the CPU is cool.
