Yes it is, you could also try downgrading your nvidia drivers and installing a significantly earlier version, i had to do the same with my laptop to use it in dolphin.

Don't use the drop down in Dolphin to choose your adapter. In the Nvidia Control panel set a profile for dolphin to use the Nvidia gpu

is that the option where i force my notebook to use the nvidia for several programs????
i used msconfig to set the number of cores from 8 to 4.... is that the correct way to deactivate hyperthreading? cant find those options in my bios :/

Search our forums for the laptop performance guide, it will show you how and explain why.

Setting msconfig from 8 to 4 turns off two physical cores I think. So you would be running as dual core with hyper threading. I'm not sure if that's right, so if anyone else knows better......?

Shouldn´t HT be disabled through BIOS?

**KHg8m3r** · 10-09-2014, 07:05 AM **#27**

Yeah, HT can be turned off in BIOS, or at least it should be.

The msconfig thing prevents the cores from starting up in windows, you'll want to put it back on 8

Most notebook BIOSes doesn't allow disabling/enabling HyperThreading...

Huh, thought it was universal to have it.
