Dolphin not using GPU

So I have been having this problem for quite a while now.. and my friend recommended me to ask in the forums Smile
So
i am currently using dolphin 5.0-13603 (x64) version..
My laptop has a dedicated GPU (Radeon 6630M ), but whenever i use dolphin (or rather in the graphics tab) dolphin shows only the integrated GPU (intel HD 3000), It doesn't show my radeon GPU
my friend said maybe dolphin isn't using the dedicated GPU....
But on the contrary whenever i use CEMU it uses my radeon GPU not the integrated one (this is not the concern here tho Tongue)
pls Help me devs

(PS: I use DX11, not OpenGL, coz OpenGL fps sucks :/)

You don't set Dolphin's GPU inside of Dolphin. You have to do that from Radeon software, this link might help: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-017

Since I was the one who recommended him, I should take his side as well...
well we both had actually enabled high performance on radeon software for dolphin..
still the fps seems quite low..
it may be that dolphin had been using this amd gpu since the whole time, but there is no way of knowing exactly what gpu is dolphin using...

So is there a way to check that
mind it is windows 7, so it doesn't have that win8/10 feature of monitoring gpu in the performance tab

I sure that gpu z sensor tab can detect that card fine. You could use that to see if it using it.

*UPDATE*

So me and my friend (Amul2004) tested the GPU load and other stuff on GPU-Z...

We did two tests : One on CEMU and One on Dolphin
On CEMU i ran "The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of the Wild" and checked the GPU status..
Nothing out of the ordinary.. AMD GPU running fine with 80% load, and the Intel one had 20%.

BUT..
Then i checked the dolphin status..
I ran "The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword" [native, No anisotrophic or AA]
In this, both GPU were running, but smthn my friend found odd was that the GPU load for both of them were around 30%
Is this normal?   Sad
