Slow gamecube games on my i7 980x

Your GTS 450 supports OpenGL 4.4, same as the GTX 750 Ti. The only difference you will see is that you can use higher internal resolutions/AA/AF due to the higher bandwidth and speeds.

Dolphin relies on the CPU more than GPU for games (opposite of "PC games"). Like DJBarry said, try enabling TurboBoost or overclock for more speed.
