Just use default settings.
Btw which games are you trying to play?

Mostly GCN, stuff like Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Zelda. I do wanna try to play some not as intensive Wii games like Super Paper Mario. I'm playing Metroid Prime atm but there are some occasional lags in few areas Also is there anyway I can get my dolphin to run my nvidia graphics card on Direct3D9? There's no option for it. I tried Direct3D11 but i get a failed emulation error :/

Use 3x Internal Resolution , no AA , 16x AF . Pull "Texture Cache" slider between "safe" and "fast" or set it to "safe" to force Nvidia GPU out of Idle mode (only work for Nvidia 600 series)

Your CPU is a bit weak for this very demanding game

Not sure what you mean here. DX9 should be set by default if you didn't touch anything
