Sekiro is running around 30 FPS with drops and stuttering on shadPS4. Could this be an emulator issue, or should I be looking at my PC or monitor?

The emulator is a reasonable place to start. Performance can vary a lot between games and emulator versions, so a low frame rate here doesn't automatically mean the PC is faulty.

Check which shadPS4 version you're using and whether there are known issues for Sekiro with that version. Also check the emulator settings before spending money on hardware.

Sekiro has a native PC release, which avoids the emulation layer altogether. If buying another copy isn't an option, fair enough, but it's worth knowing there is an alternative to troubleshooting the emulator.

Post your CPU, GPU, RAM, monitor refresh rate, resolution and emulator version. Without those details it's hard to tell whether hardware is a constraint or recommend an upgrade.

You can also try another game or a benchmark to see whether the stuttering is limited to Sekiro. A monitor setting might affect the displayed refresh rate, but that alone wouldn't explain every cause of frame drops.
