dolphin doesnt detect my graphic card

[candemir89]

hi,

i'am new in using the dolphin emulator and have a big problem. dolphin doesnt detect my graphics card(it detects only the onBoard-chip).
i have set the settings in the tool of switchable graphics on my notebook, but it did not work.
can you help me please?

You need to post your specs

[candemir89]

i have an intel i3 2330 cpu, a amd radeon hd 6490 graphics card(and a onBoard of intel) and 4GB ram.

He has got an AMD Radeon mobile GPU. In the Catalyst center, there must be a menu for swichtable graphics. Well, I'm not sure, I have always worked with nVidia GPUs.

yes, there is and i turned the value for dolphin in "high". but in the configs of dolphin, there were only show up the onboard chip.

In Dolphin it's always going to show the on-board chip, that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't using it (as long as you added the Dolphin.exe in CCC).

Look to the left where the green highlight is, then click on "save" and search for where your Dolphin directory is and select "Dolphin.exe". You're done.

thx for your answer. in my version of the ccc, i can not find this page, but i have turned the value for dolphin in "high", so dolphin should use the amd graphics card?
we say, that dolphin uses the amd graphics card, but why is the emulating performance so bad? i have read many tutorials, how i can improve the performance and nothin has helped. so i am expected, that dolhpin uses only the onboard chip.
have you a idea, what the problem can be?

What games are you playing and what speeds do you get? The bottleneck here looks like your CPU, so unless you overclock (not recommended on a laptop) or get a faster one, you'll probably encounter slowdowns in a number of games. You can try using these speed settings, and it looks like you're already using the official Dolphin 3.0, but if those don't help, the problem is definitely hardware related.

okay i am playing all the standard nintendo games like super mario galaxy, super mario sunshine, new super mario bros, mario kart wii and so on.
i will use this speed settings. i hope it will speed up the emulation.

a last question: is my cpu too slow for a good working emulation?

For the games you've just mentioned yes. NSMB should work fine though
