Graphics card not detected

[Sunbay]

Having recently bought a pc, which here is the configuration:
AMD RADEON HD 8650G A10-5750M/AMD
AMD RADEON HD 8970M
8GB DDR3
I installed Dolphin but I realize that the graphics card is not detected even if I put the maximum performance: (
I ask you to help because it's one month I mess: (
Thank you in advance for your help

How did you determine that it isn't working?

[Sunbay]

In the graphical portion of setup, I can only choose the graphics chipset.
The light indicates that I am on the graphics card performance level but I think I'm still running on the graphics chipset.
I know that a laptop is not necessarily good for emulation but performance level, even in a game at minimum setting is not fluid.
In addition, it is probably unrelated but when my graphics card is operating normally, the fan runs but there is very slow as if the graphics card did nothing.

Just because the IGP is selected doesn't mean that dolphin is using it. Check the GPU utilization while running dolphin.

If there's a fucking light on your laptop indicating that it's using the dedicated GPU, it's probably using that GPU, right? That's not your problem. Your problem is much more likely to be a CPU bottleneck. AMD's CPUs tend to be godawful for Dolphin for various reasons, and Dolphin requires *much* more CPU power than GPU power (to the point where you'd probably get identical performance on either GPU).

Sorry for my english .... doubtful and bad enough: 3

I would ask if there is software like GPU-z/CPU-z most recommended ?
Here is the result when I turned SSBB on dolphin thoroughly

Sunbay, CPU-Z and GPU-Z are usually the recommended apps for checking clockspeeds when running Dolphin, AFAIK.

If those were both made while running Dolphin, it seems that the CPU's not hitting its max boost clock (only the default 2.5 GHz instead of 3.5 GHz) [1] and the GPU's very much at idle speeds [2]. I'd recommend solving the latter problem by either setting Dolphin to a maximum performance profile in the Catalyst settings or by using a tool such as RadeonPro: http://www.radeonpro.info/download/

As for the CPU speed issue, I dunno if it *can* reach higher clockspeed on both of the two cores with what Dolphin throws at it. Maybe kicking up the dedicated GPU will give the CPU some extra thermal headroom since the integrated one's not in use? Or maybe it'll just add heat elsewhere and make it worse? I dunno.
