Brand new computer getting some pretty low performances

Hey there ! I own a brand new computer, intel Xeon E5-2620 2.10ghz, 32 gb of ram (corsair), nvidia geForce GTX 770, that i use to work smoothly in 3ds max, zbrush and those kind of heavy softs without any problems, but when it comes down to dolphin ( i use the 4.0 64bit version ), it sometimes get extremely slow, especially when playing batten Kaitos ( when it doesn't crash ).

I tried to look on the internet if there was a way to allocate more ram or cpu to dolphin, because when i run it with the task manager open, it shows that it use almost nothing of my ressources, i wonder if the problem is a particular piece of hardware that is not compatible ( although i looked a little and it doesn't seem to be uncompatible in general ), or maybe it is another thing that i can't put a grasp on.

Thanks !

Dolphin only uses 2 cores, and your CPU speed is too low

We really can't tell if it's just low performance, or abnormally low performance without more concise examples.

On batten kaitos for example, it can drop down to 45% when in too busy maps, when in light maps, it goes aroung 85% The only moments when i touch 100% is inside houses.

I don't exactly know how harsh that game is to run. If it's a very difficult game to run, that may mean you can still get decent performance in other games. If it's a lightweight game, then you're in trouble.

Your processor clock is extremely low, but if you want to know how you compare, please check out: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-new-dolphin-cpu-benchmark-no-game-required

and get your results.

And Dolphin, as you noted, doesn´t need that much RAM (1 or 2 GB is enough).
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 800/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.
