Are there any fair dolphin benchmarks for Ryzen processors?

Remember when you get to a certain level of cpu performance (depending on game), it just doesn't matter if it can go faster.

No point spending $$$ on performance you won't use.

That's why things like the g4560 get recommended here a lot, despite being "slower" in every way than an 8700k.

Just make it part of the cost/benefit equation when looking for the best deal - not even looking at the competition is just hurting yourself.

And for a similar reason that's why I'm so interested in the Ryzen 2200G / 2400G, because honestly Intel integrated graphics just don't cut it what many people want to use Dolphin for (rendering at 3x+ internal resolution).

So how Dos everyone Feel about Ryzen now ? Say if there is a 1080 Behind one ?

Ryzen is a very good general-purpose CPU and if you're building a computer to do multiple things it's not a bad choice for its price. When it comes to purely single thread performance heavy workloads it tends to perform about as well as 3rd to 4th gen Intel CPUs in a clock for clock comparison. For situations that rely on heavy multi-threading then Ryzen can crush 3rd to 4th gen Intel CPUs.

The specific GPU that you pair with really any CPU, doesn't really matter as far as being able to play a game once it hits a certain level of performance. If you want to have really high resolution scaling or if you're someone that really wants to run enhancements like high-definition packs and other things then it matters more.

I will say for building a system for emulation though I would not recommend spending two times the price of your CPU for a GPU. If you're building a system to run native PC games then that's a lot more reasonable of a setup.
