As emulation nears perfection, what hardware will 1 need?

As you have already known , i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz is still faster than i5 3570k @ 5.0GHz in Dolphin Benchmark (*)

Higher Clock Speed doesn't mean better performance in Dolphin
See (*) and FX-8350 @ 4.5GHz isn't faster than the old i5 2500k @ 3.4GHz (stock)

Quote: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?

Vram doesn't matter either . Afaik , Higher Memory Bandwidth does matter
And if you add AA (anti-aliasing) to 4x Internal Resolution then it's not 4x IR anymore (For Example : 4xSSAA + 4xIR = 8xIR which is too high for your GPU to handle)

I see so thats how AA works in here, heh. I usually dont use AA if I do its 2x maybe but its usually off. So FPS dropping is the result of CPU then? As I thought.

Thanks for the info
