Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • Due to AMD’s poorly optimized OpenGL driver, you may experience slowdowns.
  • Enabling Accurate Multiplication is recomended in certain games. If you are experiencing graphical glitches, try enabling this option.

here is my RAM as well,

RAM: 6 GB

#4

is it the GPU, CPU, RAM or all of them that are bottlenecking me.

#5

Please try running citra on your iGPU instead of your dedicated GPU. Then upload a log file afterwards. Let me know if you need help on how to do so.

when i try to run it on the Intel HD its says it doesnt support OpenGL

Ah my bad, I should’ve known that Intel HD Graphics 3000 doesn’t support opengl 3.3.
Run it on your AMD Radeon HD 7400M again.
You can try disabling Hardware Shaders in Emulation>Configuration>Graphics>Advanced Tab. That seems to boost the speed a bit in some games when using AMD GPUs.
However, it might just be that your hardware is just not up to it. Especially because you’re using an AMD GPU which have horrible opengl drivers (which citra uses to emulate), causing performance to drop massively.
The only thing you could do about that is dual booting into linux and using citra linux to take advantage of linux’s superior opengl drivers for AMD GPUs. That’s if you’re willing to go through the trouble of figuring out how to do that just for citra.

i disabled hardware shader, when from 16 to 28 FPS ingame so that helped, ill probably stay on windows but it is running faster now. also is there away i can try to use the cpu to help with speeding it up, becuase i checked the 0 core usage and it was only at 45-50 % and 2.23 GHz usage.
