    Hello - Has anyone had success playing Wii/Gamecube games with the Dolphin emulator on their Clevo with a 7970M? Graphics configurations only allow me to select the 4000HD, even after assigning Dolphin to high performance in AMD's switchable graphics.

    Doesn`t matter anyways since HD4000 is more than enough for Dolphin games. Raw CPU speed is what matters

    Thanks for your reply. I find most games are pretty laggy as-is, but I suppose it's likely a configuration issue then if it's only the CPU that matters. Thanks :)

    Thanks, Fenryr - I didn't even know that parking was a thing. The cores all seem to be running a little bit hotter now, but if it gives me more speed I say let 'em burn ;)

    Thanks again!
