Dolphin Graphics card requirements

[admin89]

Seiki offers 50" 4k resolution monitor for only 1300$ . I don't know about durability though

YALL DONT GET IT ON DOLPHIN EMULATOR I WANT TO USE 4x internal resolution (2560x2112)
with 4X SSAA WITH 16X anisotropic filtering...... Whats all that have to do with a 4K monitor
I want max settings on my 1080p monitor no slow down especially on zelda twilight princess and skyward sword..... Go on dolphin emu wiki/ skyward sword how can they achieve such high resolution if i cant and i have good graphics card too.??

I replied @NaturalViolence post about monitor for that insane resolution , not you

Then you have to upgrade your GPU to 7950
7850 can handle 4xIR + 2xMSAA or 4x MSAA (SSAA is more demanding than MSAA)
You have GPU bottleneck

Quote:4x internal resolution with 9xSSAA

still sounds like overkill, besides, the more IR you have, the less AA you need, unless you want the image to become blurry...

[NaturalViolence]

The effect of IR on aliasing becomes increasing insignificant after the IR passes your screen resolution. AA is the only reliable way to remove aliasing. And proper SSAA/MSAA should not blur the image at all.

HA I don't think a 7950 would probably make a difference the problem is the gpu backends could be optimized a little better then everything would be perfect it has nothing to do with a more expensive gpu, so maybe if Anti Aliasing was more optimized... come on i can run crysis max settings 1080p with 4x AA.. and other pc games 1080p @ 4x anti aliasing.. the problem is the backends... for insistence Open GL anti aliasing doesn't even work at all even turned all the way up like its not even implemented no lag at all cause AA in Open Gl dosen't work for me.. in alot of games.


But dx11 and dx9 backends dolphin lag lag lag... 4xSSAA at internal resolution (2560x2112) = lag.. crysis 1080p @ 4x Anti aliasing = 60fps.................. DOLPHIN isnt even useing 100% of my GPU or ITS ram I have 2gb vram dolphin only useing like under 600mb with gpu load under 70%

4x SSAA is freaking slow where there isn't even no 3D rendering going on like at MENUS in alot of GAMES WTF

There are so many things wrong with your ideas about Dolphin, unfortunately I don't have time to quote them all and respond, but I'm sure someone else will.

You only need 400 BungHolioMarks for that.

It will have a significant difference due to much higher memory bandwidth . I know some Dolphin users that have i5 3570k + GTX 670 / 7950
Their GPUs can handle 4xIR + 4x SSAA fine on most games
There is 1 user claim that his GTX Titan (was 1000$) can handle 4xIR + 9xSSAA

Like make Dolphin run well on a Pentium 4 ? No
Do you realize how demanding is 4xIR + 4xSSAA ?
3xIR + 4xSSAA = 6xIR (3840x3168)
4xIR + 4xSSAA is much higher than 4k resolution . 7850 is like ...throwing eggs at rocks

[rpglord]

You don't realize that crysis does NOT use SSAA...
You need to swith to dx11 backend and increase AA there...it has same AA as pc games ( MSAA )
Further, you are not running crisis at 2560x2112, if you have 1080p monitor then you are running crysis at the resolution LESS THEN 3x IR.
So to make it fair you should lower your IR to 2.5 IR and then try 4x AA, if you want to compare your perfomance to crysis or other pc games.
OR, make a custom resolution of 2560x2112 in your amd control panel, then choose that resolution in crysis, and see what happens
