Dunno too much about good Sandy Bridge chips in laptops, but an Intel Core i7-2670QM like DefenderX's is pretty decent for many games in Dolphin, just watch out for heating issues. Still, you probably won't get full-speed SMG2 with LLE audio, but most other games should be a breeze.
Yeah not looking to buy a new lappy just for dolphin emulation lol This laptop smokes PC games and anything else i can toss at it the processor is great for anything BUT emulation. its because they went with a quad instead of a dual. i can play ANY pc game - Crysis2 BF3 SC anything max setting with no problem.
Literally just looking to buy a new CPU to play dolphin games. Prolly be a downgrade for most things save for dolphin emulation
So i have been tweaking dolphin here and there and i got most games to around 30FPS like the 27-32 mark but it feels like the games are running at about 70-80% or proper speed like the music is slow the char move slow its not HORRIBLE but its enough to piss me off.... is this because of the CPU or some other setting im over looking. This is going on will all games save for 2d/3d plat formers and like Mario kart. Monster hunter and sonic colors both do this also. Any thoughts?
