Hey there!
I started upgrading my rig some time ago, right now it looks like this:
(Athlon 2 X4@3,6), GTX 570, 4GB DDR3, AM3+ board.
Since the CPU is weak it is the next thing on my upgrade list, and, of course ( -.- ), i wanted to buy an FX - processor.
after reading a lot of reviews i knew i made a mistake with that am3+ board, but since i reached the point of no return, i have to stick with it.
yes, i know amd cpus suck compared to intel in most cases, but right now i have no other choice.
i searched alot but couldnt find anything about dolphin and amd fx cpus aside from the fact that they probably suck - but still no facts or benchmarks related to dolphin.
so what should i do?
i could buy one of those: FX 4170, FX 6200, FX 81x0.
all of them will perform good with normal PC games, but what about dolphin? which one would be the best? i know , dolphin only uses 2 cores, so it is probably the 4170, but who knows ?
Phenoms are hard to come by right now, i dont think id be able to get one. with some luck on my hands i maybe could get an ivy bridge setup but i shouldnt rely too much on it.
i planned on playing major nintendo games such as SMG, Metroid series, Zelda SS, some of the 'AAA' Square games - basically the demanding ones
(yeah, i know...)
any chance to enjoy them at leats in 480p, perfectly playable of course?
any sugestions?
Regards
