All you have to do is add Dolphin to "High performance Nvidia GPU" via Nvidia Control Panell
However , the dedicated GPU also need a lot of power to run and it will increase heat output . Since your laptop is a multi-media one , ( both GPU and CPU use the same heat pipe ) , your laptop will run really hot and will end up with overheating after 5 mins of gaming . As a result , both GPU and CPU will throttle -> lower performance
A GT 630M power consumption is almost the same level as i7 3520M (35W) . By enabling dedicated GPU , your laptop will run 1.5->2x hotter than using integrated GPU

Okay first of all, thank you, I'll explain what I did, and the results I got.
-I went into Power Options and checked off the High Performance box.
-Went to my NVIDIA card and set Power Management to Prefer Maximum performance
-Went to Intel options, set 3D slide to performance, Anisotropic Filter to 16x and Vertical Sync to Application Settings
There was a definite improvement. The game went 100% FPS, until the entrance started. Once the entrance started, it still was a major improvement, but it was still dropping between 70-80% before going back up to 100%.
Now I downloaded throttlestop 6.0 but admittedly I don't know what it is, and I'm worried about messing with it unless I know what to do.
Is there any more recommended changes I could make in Dolphin or with that throttlestop program to improve the performance even more?
Also, I just tried running Luigi's Mansion and I gotta admit I'm pretty impressed. I got to the training part sucking up ghosts, and even when using the ghost vacum sucking up multiple ghost the FPS are not dropping. However there appears to be some distortion in the audio. Is that fixable?
