By the way, it is the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290X in the series.
Anyway, I had Windows 10 before, but I reinstalled Windows 8.1 (got a new hard drive, preferred the optimization of Windows 8.1 for most of my old games and resolutions, preferably emulators, so I just reinstalled Windows 8.1 instead), and I put some new drivers on from the AMD website. I have the "AMD Radeon Settings" up to 16.12.1 which I believe is the most updated version.
But, if so, why does Dolphin 5.0 suffer? I also have an AMD FX-8370 Eight-Core Processor, but Dolphin suffers graphical problems on some of my games on the Direct3D 11 option, mainly Project M (Brawl) which is the only game I ever play on it anyway, but it never had these problems before. Hell, I even ran it fine on Windows 8.1 last year, but that wasn't Dolphin 5.0 so I suppose that's an unfair reference.
Anyway, this led me to believe that my drivers may not be up to date in general, mainly cause Project M also suffers stuttering problems where there used to not be any and certain stages I added that were higher quality for Dolphin no longer run full speed, with some even dipping frames rather drastically. I tried OpenGL, which fixes the graphical problems, but leaves the game running far worse.
So, can somebody guide me to the website where I can get the most recent drivers for my graphics card so I can fix it, as presume that to be the problem? Or, do I need Direct3D 12 and should go back to Windows 10? I am unsure what to do.
