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).

Plus none of them are even $40. 40 fucking dollars. 09-02-2013, 06:59 AM

Are you sure? Check this, then.
" Radeon HD 4870 1GB wins When combining all game benchmark scores on this page together, the Radeon HD 4870 1GB wins overall, by 67 FPS. Please note that we do not have the results of every benchmark ever done for these cards, so the results may differ wildly in different games.

Also, some people doesn´t care about the price. (09-02-2013, 06:59 AM)oliverfrancisco Wrote: Are you sure? Check this, then.http://www.anandtech.com/show/2619 Look at this and weep. Equal. Plus the one i'm getting is the core 216 55nm edition. Even better
My 9800GT can handle 3xIR any game . GTX 260 is much faster than that ....@oliverfrancisco you should read GPU requirement thread , it's all about memory bandwidth
The main question is : how long will it last lol . 3 days ? 1 week ? 1 month ? less than 3 months ? Laptop: Mini PC :: 09-02-2013, 12:46 PM

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.
