Low framerate/latency? using old GPU/Retroarch through LB on Large TV

I configured everything and cloned it to a SFF PC with an old 2GB AMD card that CAN do 1080p and seems to run Gamecube and Wii games pretty well through dolphin on a 60inch 4k TV. I am using a new Xbox controller wirelessly.  Don't notice lag in the games.

 

However, when running titles through retroarch, specifically SMW on SNES..... it seems it isn't precise enough to play games like mario or anything...almost as if it's either a latency issue with my controller or low FPS? I don't know how to tell which.

Can anyone direct me some settings to check? I know my GPU isn't great, but it can definitely run up through WII just fine.  I messed with video drivers, and tried vulkan, DX9, etc...and it just...isn't great.  

 

Thanks!

Myu guess is your PC defaulted to 30Hz when connecting to the 4K TV, this happens all the time, simply set the PC back to 60Hz. It could also be taht the HDMI port on your GPU cannot actually do 4K60 if its a old card, so that is worth checking if windows is not giving you the option for 60Hz at 4K.

I’ll check it out but I originally set it at 1080P/60
