I am using both the newest dolphin and newest nvidia drivers. When I enable dx11 back end I load my game and I get the error "failed to enumerate outputs" and the game proceeds to crash. It forces my computer to use the integrated HD 4000 which is garbage and games run like crap. I known this issue has come up for some other people but to my knowledge no one has posted a solution.
Have a look at this thread, specifically admin89's post.

I checked both; the only information provided is they do not have a solution. I am hoping someone has figured something out...
Read admin89's post again. The error is generated when you try to set the GPU you use from within Dolphin (e.g. don't do that). You need go through your Nvidia drivers like in the thread admin89 linked to.

I tried that... no such luck.
