I just got a new Dell XPS laptop, and I thought it would run Dolphin just fine.
Well, it does...in certain situations.
1. When I plug it into an external monitor. Everything runs mostly full speed with some slowdowns. This is on the highest settings that I know of (there may be more that are less obvious)
2. When I reduce the window on my laptop monitor. When I do this...it has to be very small, like the size of a NDS screen.
(the only games Ive played are Zelda TP and Resident Evil 1 Remake, both on GC)
When I check the CPU performance, its at 21 percent, even when the game is running very slow. Also, 3-4 of the 8 cores are always "parked" and not being used.
What do you think? Can my laptop handle Dolphin at 90-100% speed?
