Hello !

I'm gonna overclock my CPU for dolphin, it's too slow ... Undecided

But which games can watch me the real difference between non overclocked CPU and overclocked CPU ?
Which game is very CPU dependant ?

I hope I have one game in your future list lol

Thanks guys !!!! Smile

Any wii games... If you got Mario Galaxy(s) it's a good test Wink

I like to play new super mario bros ...
Fox example, I have 80 FPS in full HD, I will get more with overcloking ?
In this game, 200% speed is fun lol

Very all games ? In fact, the emulation doesn't really use the GPU ?

New Super Mario Bros isn't a demanding game

Some Wii (not WiiWare) games are really fast on single core A64 so it's not "any" Wii game. For SMG it's true, Sonic games need fast CPU too.

You're right I forgot WiiWare games... but the these aren't "real" Wii games for me Big Grin

so I rectify what I said : any "real" Wii games and Mario Galaxy(s)/Sonic(s) games in particular Tongue

due to the nature of emulation, every game will be CPU dependant Smile

but, yes, some will need more power than other.

like lord vador said, mario galaxy (1 or 2) and mario kart wii, will be a good game to test your cpu

Ok, perfect guys , I'm gonna overclock my i7 to 3,8 ghz ...

Others questions, in fact, for the moment, for dolphin, I have a two cores 2,66 ghz ?
So 3,8 will be a big big change? So, I'm gonna win +- 40 % perfs for wii games?

4 cores support for dolphin will come some day ?

Having a better grapic card than the 4890 1go is important ?

Thanks

yup, that extra 1GHz should get you a lot
test it with DSP LLE if you want to stress you cpu even more

for gpu, nope, that should be more than enough

Ok so, after the overclocking, I can't have really better (there is always better but you know what I mean I think)
