My Ivy is running slower than it should

Do you have all drivers up to date ?
What I find strange in your screenshot is that you have a blank space where fullscreen resolution should be.
I just tried it on my system and you can't choose blank space, you can only choose a resolution.
Maybe some kind of bug on your system ?

_Don't use CPUZ for mobile CPU , it read my CPU clock rate incorrectly (alway show 2.9GHz even when my CPU is in idle mode) . Use Coretemp or Realtemp instead
_You didn't list your CPU model . "2.9GHz Dual Core Ivy" is not CPU model number

Wow you must have failed physics. You really think a small little box is going to be as efficient as a desktop? Laptops can't magically transcend the laws of physics, the limited amount airflow because of
space for heat dispersion inside a laptop shell means that
the mobile gpus/cpus have to be significantly much smaller and lower clocked
chips.

If you get board read this.

I think its was well said here
"The laws of physics just cannot be bent – power equals heat and a sleek
slim form factor like that of the MacBook Pro just cannot contain that
much heat produced by the much more powerful components inside."

There are tuns of advantages getting a laptop top but butting heads with the top of the line processor desktop vs laptop will not win you 1st place.

We've already had the desktop/laptop conversation on this forum and I'm not about to go into it again. Next time instead of taking a small snippet out of my post and acting as if there was nothing else that goes along with it, read or quote the entire thing. I suggest you go back and read my comments again until they make sense. No one said a laptop is as efficient as a desktop. Please stop making things up.

Fair enough, Though that is how I read your comment. Apologizes for the miss interpenetration.

If it has the same hardware then yes. It doesn't matter if you stick it in a case the size of a walrus or a rabbit, a sandy bridge quad core at 3GHz combined with a GT 650m should be enough to run this game at nearly fullspeed.

What I thought was odd is that my I got the same speed the HLE as I did with LLE. Thats what I dont get. Any ideas? All drivers are up to date

Can you choose fullscreen resolution instead of blank space ? Did you do so ?
Try changing to dirext11 and see if that changes anything.
If you get same speed with HLE and LLE it means your are beeing bottlenecked by your graphic card.
Something is wrong with it, since 650m is decent card and you should be seeing difference between HLE and LLE.
Maybe somehow you are using intel integrated graphic instead of 650m ( even though its written in dolphin that it uses 650m )
Disable integrated graphic in bios completely, just to be sure you are not using that.
Did you try running something alse on your laptop, such as demanding pc game, to see everything is ok with it ?

Windows uses integrated graphic all the time .
If you disable it in bios, you'll get black screen . The same apply to disable via "device manager" , you'll be not able to see anything , everything turn black unless you enable it again when you boot windows in "safe mode"

What ?
This is not true at all.
Maybe you meant some laptops are designed to need integrated gpu to save power when dedicated is not needed.
Even then, I am sure that option can be disabled in laptop's bios, and it has nothing to do with windows.
Windows certanly doesnt need integrated graphic at all.
