As of now even with my specs games run slow at 4x native, No AA with speed hacks enabled. I was playing Zelda TP (GC) and gotten as low as 12fps I was like holy crap. I fear at this nears perfection of accuracy the devs PC's wont be enough to fully test things as the hardware that would be required is simply not available to use.
My specs
I5 3570 4.5ghz
2GB 6950
8GB 1600mhz RAM
Even with these specs I get massive slow downs on games with the newest stable release. As it comes to to 95% accuracy one would in an insane beast of a system in the way things are going now. I will predict one would need at least an 8ghz CPU by that time comes around. If you think about even 4.5GHZ is not enough for Dolphin anymore well not at 4x native anyways. I dont think it ever was. Or is this simply a GPU problem? Is is graphic based on turning up the native res. Is my GPU with 2GB of RAM not enough for 4x native res on a lot of games? I always thought slodwns (drops in FPS were caused by the CPU). Anyways...
As fr the way Dolphin is going for terms of hardware needed is a bit crazy. As PCSX2 seems to be a lot more optimized than Dolphin is but maybe Dolphin works a lot differently than that emulator does and really needs all these resources. It just seems a bit excessive if you ask me. Maybe someone can explain this to me?
So what do you think one will ultimately need for hardware when Dolphin reaches the end?
