So I'm part of an online netplay community primarily for N64/Gamecube games. I understand that my PC is not very good at all, here are the specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium N3530 quad-core @2.18GHz (Up to 2.58GHz)
Memory: 8GB Ram
GPU: Intel HD Graphics (there is no number afterwards)
However, my confusion lies in my friend's PC, who is able to run pretty much all multiplayer GC Games he throws at it with his specs:
CPU: Intel Celeron 2957U “Haswell” Dual-Core 1.4GHz
Memory: 4GB Ram
GPU: Intel HD Integrated Graphics
We are both running minimum settings (dual-core, minimum resolution, etc etc). The games we primarily play at our community are all 4 GC Mario parties, Melee, the Mario sports games (soccer, tennis, golf, baseball), Double dash, and Super Monkey Ball 2.
He is able to use OpenGL, DX 11 and DX 12 all at 60fps for these games w/ minimum settings, however any backend except DX 11 gives me a black screen. I checked and my GPU doesn't support DX 12, and I also assume doesn't have good enough OpenGL support either. With DX 11, my FPS varies, from 30fps on melee's menus, to 50fps on the mario party 5 intro, to 30fps in multiplayer double dash.
Both running Dolphin 5.0 x64, and we are both on Windows 10 64-bit PCs.
Here is the laptop that I am using:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
