I think that you have to set your nvidia card to performance mode in the control panel. Sadly since I do not have an Nvidia card, I cannot give any more detail than this:
From pauldacheez:
The GPU issue is a known one; leave the Intel GPU selected in Dolphin and put Dolphin on a high performance profile in the Nvidia driver settings to make it use your Nvidia GPU. (Note that I've told people to do this dozens of times and yet I've still never even fucking looked at the AMD/Nvidia driver settings. Adapt this advice as necessary.)
