Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

If GPU clock = 0 , that mean Dolphin is using Integrated GPU
Note that Dolphin will use AMD GPU secretly , the GPU usage will not be shown via Dolphin
Btw , you must add Dolphin to High Performance via AMD Catalyst Control Center

yeah i actually tried that earlier while i was searching but still i have no luck. here is the picture of the GPUZ.

AMD 7670M has 2 versions : DDR3(28.8GB/sec memory bandwidth) and GDDR5 (57.6GB/sec)
DDR3 version is used on most of AMD notebook since it's cheaper .7670M GDDR5 is very rare because laptop manufacturer usually use GDDR5 on high end mobile GPU , not mid range GPU
It seems your notebook only show the integrated GPU via GPUZ , 25.6GB/sec memory bandwidth is belong to AMD 7660G after all
But don't worry , your integrated GPU is faster than Intel HD 4000 which mean you can run most games at 2x Internal Resolution (720p) , no AA , 16x AF . MHtri is a demanding game , may be you should lower IR to 1x
On the other hand , your CPU is a real problem here . Even though it's a quad core + turbo core to 3.2GHz , it's still losing to Intel Pentium Dual Core B980 @ 2.4GHz .
Not mention Dolphin is a dual core application . Dolphin will perform much better on that Pentium
And Pentium B980 is obviously not strong enough for MHTri

but why is the dolphin only reading the hd graphics? not the 7670m? im playing skyrim with no problems at high settings.

Then download AMD system monitor and run a game, see if your discrete GPU is being used like mine is.



Even after that, Dolphin will still never show your discrete GPU when you start a game, but it doesn't matter as long as it's being used.

Hit that "details" button by your GPU, then play a game with Dolphin for a few minutes and post what both GPUs are doing. This doesn't mean that the game will be playing at full speed, but we're trying to get your discrete GPU to work. You should be using DX9 when doing this with Dolphin.
