I have a sony vaio laptop with 12 gigs of RAM and intel i7-3537U processor and a nvidia geforce gt 735m graphics card with 2gigs of dedicated graphics. I have been testing things on twilight princess and it runs great at first but slows down after 10 or 15 minutes. help? thanks.

ULV CPUs aren't the best for CPU heavy tasks, they will tend to downclock themselves more than normal microprocessors to extend battery life, OPs CPU is clocked at 2.0GHz and TB to 3.1GHz

Just do as Admin says and let us know.

Your GPU - Nvidia GT 735M is not enabled when Dolphin is running ! That's why you have poor performance
You can use "Nvidia Inspector" to verify this . If your "GPU Load" < 10% , your GPU is in idle mode

Btw , next time please check your CPU temp for at least 10 - 15Mins when the slowdown occurs
