Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Ok, so if I use OpenGL or Direct3D9, its fine and it uses my dedicated, but, if i use Direct3D11, it says its fine, but when i get in-game, it switches to integrated (causing major slowdown). Changing my PhysX processor to GPU instead of auto-select did not help. My global settings use GPU (and i checked and it say Dolphin does that). I have Intel HD Graphics 3000 (aka Sandy Bridge) for integrated and Geforce 560m 1.5 GB for dedicated. Help me?

There should be an option to enable the dedicated GPU only for Dolphin, and this should be on. If you have done this, and it doesn't work, then there should be an option in your bios to completely disable the Intel HD 3000, but not definitely, as it can run your battery down ridiculously quickly, so may have been left out the laptop bios.
