Hopefully in the right place. Trying to run Skyward Sword with:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit
Processor/CPU: 2nd Generation Intel Core i7-2 670QM 3.1GHzw
Video Card/GPU: 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 7970M and Intel® HD 4000
Memory/RAM: 6GB DDR3 at 1600MHz
It doesn't find my Radeon card in the graphics adapter, but I assumed it would automatically switch over to it. It's running rather slowly and I have the settings to where I think it should be running at or near full speed. Or can I just not run it? Thanks in advance!
Sandy Bridge CPU -> Intel HD 3000
Ivy Bridge CPU -> Intel HD 4000
i7 2670QM is Sandy Bridge CPU
What kind of laptop you have ? Gaming Laptop or Multimedia Laptop ? Anyway , use "Realtemp" to check CPU clock speed when dolphin is running , i doubt that i7 could stay at 3.1GHz when you're using dolphin
Make sure dolphin use AMD GPU , not Intel HD
Quote:It's running rather slowly
Define "slowly"
Quote:Or can I just not run it?
Run it : yes of course
Full speed : no
Are you using Dolphin 3.0?
What are your settings?
Where exactly do you slow down? (Try to avoid spoilers)
Please fill in the void.
It's an Alienware M17x r4. Getting an FPS of between 12/13 in opening scene with Zelda. I believe my main concern is that Dolphin doesn't seem to be reading the AMD GPU at all in the Adapter selection.
Dolphin 3.0-243
Was using Direct11 because of major graphics errors, but after a computer restart they have spontaneously stopped. Very slight speed increase with this change.
Even menu is somewhat slow.

And in-game what do you get?
3.0-243? Are you using an emulated Wiimote?
Yes, using emulated Wiimote. Sorry. And so I cannot run it at full or near full speed then?
Right-click the game title inside "dolphin game list" - properties - Activate Vbeam

You didn't tell me what fps you were getting in-game (cutscene speed is not really significant).
You should be able to get 20-25 fps but not full speed
Yes you can easily run it at near fullspeed, even on a XPS17 with 3x internal resolution 1080p and 16xAF. Use HLE Audio, JIT Compiler, and EFB to Texture, no special options are required if you user a current 3.0-7XX build. Lock tread to core and OpenMP texture decoder brings a small speedup, ICC builds like Lectrode are also 25% faster on my Dell laptop.
