Dolphin very slow on gaming pc

Hi! I have a ryzen 2600x and a r9 380x in my computer. I installed Metroid Prime as my first game in this pc and the game was running very slow and with buggy sound. I checked my cpu usage and was always around 5%. Am i doing something wrong?

Also i was using 1080p resolution instead of native, but i can't believe this could be a proble to the r9 380x

Try setting the Graphics backend to Direct3D 11 or Vulkan on the latest development build.

AMD sucks at GL, our default. Additionally, 5.0 stable was compiled with an older MSVC toolchain that is inexplicably slower on Ryzen.

Hi, Helios! I already tried with direct 3d 11. Same results. The gpu isn't being requested too. The r9 stays at 5% of usage. Very strange. I am also alrrady using the latest develpmento build.

i don't know exactly what solved the problm but i fixed it. i disabled v-sync and updated all my drivers.
