hey everyone
my laptop has i7 3630QM , NVIDIA GT 640M, and 4GB RAM, and i'm using dolphin 4.0.
xenoblade is pretty laggy on my laptop, is there anyway i can max it out to 30 fps with a nice graphic?

Try these:
1) Update drivers, Windows updates, DirectX Web installer (may be missing some parts), and latest version of Visual C++
2) Make sure under Power Management in Windows you're running in High Performance, and are plugged in to power. Also set a high performance profile under Nvidia Control Panel (just like in the performance guide, just without the throttle stop)
3) Use the OpenGL backend on one of the latest dev builds, as it is faster than D3D. The current dev build is 4.0-750
