Here are my specs:
AMD Phenom II 975 overclocked to 4 GHz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
2 ATI Radeon HD 5750
Linux Mint 10 64-bit
I want to play most games almost perfectly. A small fps drop here and there doesn't bother me, but playing Twilight Princess in hyrule field I only get 25 fps which is really unplayable for me. I feel like I have hit the top with my CPU, and I am sure my memory is sufficient. Would getting a better video card really improve performance? I know that dolphin mainly uses the CPU, yet going from a geforce 430 to a 5750 greatly increases performance, so I am really not sure if I should go spend 200 dollars on a new card or not. Any advice will help, thanks!
Also, is there any way for dolphin to utilize CrossFire in linux?
