You have more than ample GPU for dolphin, hell, even I have enough graphics power for dolphin, and my card's four years old.(01-06-2014, 01:21 PM)kinkinkijkin Wrote:So it is good enough then and i just need to tweak my settings? i figured that because i ran crash bandicoot wraht of cortex and the graphics r a bit better then that of SADX and it runs very smoothly.

Just because a piece of hardware is labeled "gaming" doesn't mean it performs well.
And, while I'm at it, just because any piece of hardware is labeled anything, it doesn't mean that they can do that well.
Example: MSI manufactures a certain motherboard that's labeled as an overclocking motherboard, but the thermal solution for the VRMs is horrifying, and even a stock FX-8350 will make them nearly explode.
But, your laptop SHOULD be able to run some games at nice speeds with proper configuration.
note: "gaming" prebuilts focus heavily on the graphics, and just make it so that the CPU can keep up with the GPU. Dolphin needs what your computer is build to deny
FOUR.
But don't take my opinion straight to heart as to whether or not you'll run well, I'm not experienced with intel stuff (the reason, according to all of my friends, is that I'm not well-endowned in the wallet area), so just wait for an opinion on that from someone who isn't making shots in the dark.
