Running into a wildly odd issue here. So I boot up Dolphin to go play LoZ:TP, and boot into the game. Once I load my save file, I'm getting horrible framerates (10 FPS and lower), so I go and check my GPU, and sure enough, the Intel HD 4600 is selected as the default GPU. So I close my game, and since D3D won't let me select my dedicated NVIDIA GPU, I close down Dolphin and restart it. I checked my graphics settings, and my NVIDIA GTX 750M is selected. So I go and boot up TP again, and sure enough, same lag. I check the GPU, and it's switched back to the Intel HD 4600. Scratching my head, I go check the NVIDIA control panel. Default GPU is set to the NVIDIA GPU (I even have a custom profile set up for Dolphin). So I tried downloading the latest version of Dolphin, didn't fix it. Ran updates for my graphics card, found updates, and tried again, still no luck.

Any reason why when I boot up the game, Dolphin will all of a sudden magically decide to switch GPUs? Or is it probably more something related with my laptop? I have an Alienware m14x R4 (I5-4210M, NVIDIA GTX 750M, Samsung mSATA SSD, 8 GB DDR3L-1600 RAM, Win 7 Pro x64).

*EDIT* I should note that this happening for every single game, not just Twilight Princess.

Thanks for any and all help. Smile
