The log says that you have 2 graphics devices, maybe you are not using the correct card, try selecting your video card in the emulator settings, in the Graphics tab

Yep, i solved it with figuring out that my laptop has a MUX switch. and when i disable the integrated graphics, the game stutters like crazy. And when i took the GPU Mode from Ultimate to Standard in Armoury Crate, the game ran BUTTERY SMOOTH. I know my CPU is not too weak for playing Driveclub on shadPS4, I watched some tests about Driveclub other people have worse CPU than mine but they're still managing to run Driveclub buttery smooth without any stutters. Glad i figured out this.
