Can a AMD A10-5700 handle most of the WII games?

[Crix1990]

Hey Guys,

I want do buy a new HTPC and want to use Dolphin, too.

Do you think that a AMD A10-5700 can handle that?

[admin89]

Most game will be playable at 480p(1-1.5x IR) . Some games will be playable at 720p (2x IR)
Don't expect fullspeed with demanding games such as : SMG , The Last Story , Xenoblade , Pandora's Tower ....

Is the i3-3225 much better?

[admin89]

Yes but you have to pair it with a dedicated GPU

[Crix1990]

So the A10-5700 is the better "bundle" than the i3-3225 only?
(I ve no space for a dedicated GPU).

Does this one fit your case

[Crix1990]

I dont think that I could handle the temperature in a Origenae s14V case.
On the other hand I want to use a pico-PSU, so I don't think that I can use an dedicated one.

Pico PSU is crap even if you use it with APU trinity
You should buy a 80 plus certified PSU that has 50-100W higher than your PC power consumption ->Result : Stable , last long time
Pico - PSU should be used for AMD APU E350 or Intel Atom
Btw , your case is big enough to fit that graphic card . Don't worry about temperature , that case has good air-flow , Kepler GPU with 2 fansink will run cool

Well a i3-3240T + passive GPU might be an option, but whats the best my case can handle?
An AMD HD 6570?

But isn't the 7660 of the A10-5700 faster?

In terms of dolphin you will want more CPU power than GPU
