2015: GPUs in Dolphin

[TheFirePlayer14540]

I have questions about GPUs...

Does anyone have a benchmark about the GPUs tested?
What would be the best GPU to have in a LGA 1150 motherboard?
What's the best GPU ever tested in the fastest speed and performance?

Thanks!

Dolphin isn't very reliant on GPUs. Therefore, you don't need a powerful videocard to run Dolphin at full speed. Something like an 750gtx will be just fine. I have an older 460 gtx that is able to run everything I need. As for LGA 1150 motherboard, there is no specific video card that is pairs better with a socket 1150 than another card.

As far as performance is concerned, I don't think there's a big difference between video cards. I also run a Radeon R7 360 and it runs just as well as my 660gtx. Like I mentioned above...the video card is not as important for performance in Dolphin. What matters is the CPU.

Also, I'm assuming your questions is in reference to Dolphin performance.

The only time when you'll want a somewhat decent GPU is if you want to set the IR above 2x, or want to mess with SSAA. And even then a low end nvidia card will still do really well for pumping up the IR.
