Dolphin Graphics card requirements

[admin89]

It's not smart to compare a PC game with emulation anyway

No. The problem is that no GPU available at moment is capable of 4xIR and 9x SSAA in Dolphin, and this isn't lack of optimization. SSAA is veeeery demanding and your GPU can't handle it, so, use a different AA setting or another backend instead of complaining about something we already answered a lot of times in the entire topic.

It's as if he didn't read any of our posts:

I don't know how that could be any clearer.

I'm going to have to write a WoT post sooner or later on this.

Please refrain from commenting if that's all your post is going to consist of.

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

No, dolphin does not use crossfire

[admin89]

Dual GPU cards , SLI , Crossfire are useless with Dolphin

Well, my pc can run all gamecube and also wii games with every graphics at max

i7-3770k
2x gtx 680 4gb
16gb ddr3 1600mhz

No ... Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) of Direct3D11 is less demanding than AA (SSAA) of Direct3D9 . Try Super Mario Galaxy or Xenoblade with Direct3D9 backend : 4xIR , 9x SSAA , 16x AF and see what will happen . I bet you will get bad result
