I'm wondering if it might be time to get a new pc... my framerate hangs around the low 50's and sometimes drops below 40... even with dolphin 3.0 on lowest settings. It rarely runs at full 60 FPS. I'm not great at ssbm but I've been trying to learn. Half the players are disconnecting because of my framerate slowing the whole game down.

Try using a different Video Backend, found in the Graphics settings.
Close all unnecessary programs including browsers and audio/video players.
You can try turning down the Internal Resolution in Graphics settings.
Enable CPU Clock Override in Config -> Advanced and set it to 80%, going below 80% is not recommended

Some people also use a mod called Diet Melee to help with performance issues

Go to dolphin > graphics > general > backend and choose vulkan (experimental) this should be all you really need
