Pretty sure it can in lightweight games. Why not better the 300 GTX series, or even 700 GTX series? The last one has a very advanced Shader Model (5.0).

Dude. A gtx 260 core 216 is about the same as a 4870 which makes it able to do it in demanding (not super demanding) games. Plus none of them are even $40. 40 fucking dollars.

I know that it wasn´t tested with Dolphin in the page, but even that card do better than the 260 GTX.
Also, some people doesn´t care about the price.

Because that doesn't exist.

Because this $40 card achieves the same performance As a $130+ graphics card from a modern series. It lacks directx11 support but dolphin only requires that to do MSAA in the d3d11 plugin. Other than that there will be no difference. And most PC games either don't use d3d11 or have very minimal benefit from it. So it's an excellent deal.

It may be old but it's still pretty fast. Do your research before posting.
