I have experienced similar performance issues with Retroarch when streaming over the Steam Link as well. I know this is a very specific problem, but if anyone has any ideas, it would greatly be appreciated. It seems unlikely that it is a performance issue though, since I dont have any problems in any other configuration, and when I switch to a different shader or bring up the options menu and then go back into the game, the game will sometimes run smoothly for 10 seconds or so, before going back into вЂslow motionвЂ™. I prefer to play my SNES (snes9x) and N64 (mupen64plus) games with lottes shader, and I found that if I switch shaders off or set them to something like easymode, the problem disappears, while for other shaders like hyllian the problem persists.

The one thing that did help was setting different shaders.

I have tried playing around with many options, including full screen / windowed mode, and switching off the steam overlay, but without any luck.

The slowdown only seems to happen when making use of both streaming to tv and big picture. When I stream to my tv, minimising big picture mode and runing retroarch directly, there are no issues either (although retroarch does become a bit choppy on the tv, but I think is because the steam link throttles framerate when running things outside big picture modeвЂ¦ the options menu in any case still shows close to 60fps and the sound works fine).

There are no issues when I run retroarch on my pc via steam and big picture mode, with streaming to my tv switched off. This only occurs in this specific configuration. If I look at the framerate in the options menu while running a game, it hovers around 30.

I have (more or less) the same issue, and have tried to look for a solution everywhere, but so far without any success (I am running Windows 10 on an Intel i5-4590 CPU with 4GB RAM and an AMD Radeon R9 200 series graphics card like the OP).ДЄdding Retroarch to Steam, then running it through steam link and big picture mode on my tv will cause the games and the sound to slow down significantly, as if IвЂ™m playing in slow motion.

I swear that in an earlier version of RetroArch, those menus werenвЂ™t presentвЂ¦ IвЂ™ve attached a couple screen shots showing the menu present, and not, depending on the video driver selected. Now this is almost a good solution, but I canвЂ™t stand that menu. The Steam Client shows everything inside the window chrome, and thus I get the game screen, with a File > Command > Window menu at the top of the screen.

Lastly, I found that enabling Windowed mode corrects some/most of the performance issues, of the GL driver in my environment, but leaves a menu at the top of the screen, which is transmitted to the TV, and is quite annoying. IвЂ™ve attempted toggling threaded video on, which also somewhat alleviates the problem, but causes the video to be very stuttery. This works, to some degree, and performance is good, but most/many cores have significant issues with the D3D drivers. Now the first solution I tried, was switching the driver to D3D. Besides, IвЂ™d really like to game via the Steam Link, so I can do this from the living room. Unfortunately, I need Big Picture mode, Steam and RetroArch to all work together, to use my controller. I feel fairly confident in my diagnosis, that the problem lies in the Steam Overlay, because eliminating the Steam Link from the process, and just running вЂњBig Picture ModeвЂќ locally on the PC, and launching RetroArch from Steam, causes the performance problem as well. Thus turning overlay off, breaks my ability to control, and is a no-go. When disabling the overlay, RetroArch works as expected, but Steam needs the overlay on, to bridge my controllers via the Steam Link, to my PC running RetroArch. My problem is that RetroArch performance slows to a crawl when emulating games over the Steam Link using the GL driver, I think due to the Steam Overlay being on. IвЂ™ve spent many hours attempting to narrow down the specifics of the issue, and I think I have it, but IвЂ™ve hit a brick wall attempting to resolve this: So, I'll try to summarize my issue as succinctly as possible, although itвЂ™s rather convoluted.
