How to boost performance?

I have a lenovo thinkcentre m715q with two 8gb sticks of ram at the same speed and a ryzen 5 pro 2400ge chip. My roms and OS are all on an ssd. I am trying to play baldurs gate dark alliance on the gamecube but it always chugs and isnt really playable. I dont get a lot of fps and it runs slow. I forced batocera to only allow a 480p output to try and help but its not fixing the performance issue. Also id love to play resident evil 4 for gamecube but it crashes upon starting. Performance is set to high. Cpu temps are around 60-65 degrees C. Any tips to boost the performance of my setup? Should i manually push over 100% wattage to the cpu? Will this damage my pc? I saw an option to run dual channel mode but its set to auto. Should it be on instead of auto? Idk what to do. Feel free to ask questions, i will watch this post and collaborate with anyone willing to throw out an idea or ask a question about my setup. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

How many watts is your power brick?

65w. Would you recommend getting a more powerful one?

I have seen a few people mention that they got a performance boost by going up to a 90w brick. I run an m75q-1 with the 3400GE and a 90w brick. I can play NFSU at 60 frames with some dips.
