GPU will not overclock when running dolphin games

[RockingRevo]

So after getting my new AMD HD 7770, I decided to get back into emulating gamecube/wii games since now I had a card that could actually run them. But whenever I went to play various wii and gamecube games (LoZ wind waker, Loz Twilight princess, SSBB), they would still play at the terrible performance that my old card had. I went to overclock and when i looked at my speeds while running dolphin games, turns out that the clocks were both still running at 300 mhz even though i set them to around 1200 mhz. Apparently, my card will only overclock when running games that were their own applications such as battlefield 4, which when over clocking i run the game at a solid 60 fps. So my real question is this: is there any way to put my card into high performance mode so i can overclock my card while playing dolphin games? Because apparently, my gpu thinks that dolphin is just a simple application and doesnt even recognize when a demanding game is being run with dolphin. Any help would be great on how to solve my problem.
