Dolphin version and hardware...

I have an OC'd i5-3570k so CPU shouldn't be the problem. However, I am still waiting for my new GPU (AMD HD 7950 or the Nvidia equivalent). In the meantime, I am using my old 5770. I was able to run Persona 4 on the PCSX2 in 5x native resolution. Do you think my set-up can run Xenoblade Chronicles in at least 3x native resolution and 16 AF (with the HD texture pack)?

Also, which the best dolphin version to play this game? Should I just use the latest one?

Thanks

You should always be using either the latest build or the latest stable build (3.5). We cannot recommend older versions of Dolphin since they lack features and have many problems that have been fixed.

Probably.

Has anyone ran with the HD texture pack and how much it impact performance?

No. I could be wrong but I wouldn't think it would effect performance significantly. Also I don't know which texture pack you're referring to.

The HD texture pack for Xenoblade:

That's right. However some games may work perfectly with some old builds or versions. When you encountered no issue at all there's no reason not to mention it. In this case this is more an advice (according to your own experience) from a player to another one than a recommendation.

For this game you'd better use a recent build yeah
