[ Hardware lie.. Minimum real hardware ]

[meforero]

Hello to all i had Amd athlon 64 x2 2.0 Mhz, 2 ram, ati 4870 ddr3, win 7 x64...
with this hardware my computer show me 12 fps (except in wii play and wii sport or other simple games)

It lie that with this hardware you can play...

I change processor and today all is diferent.

The minimum requirement is:
Dual core 3.0 Mhz, 2 ram 400 Mhz, Ati or geforce with DXD 9 internal, windows seven 64 bits.

Now with this configuration in all games i obtain from 35 to 60 fps

Huggies to all

Even one game not running fully = not real minimum requirement

And because some games can still slow down ridiculously while they mostly run fullspeed, talking about minimum requirements is pretty pointless. (Not to mention 1 second of stuttering would require 30/60 times more power to not lag at all)

Which game and what settings make the difference between an i7 920 + GTX 580 still not getting fullspeed and an athlon 64 + 7600 GS being fullspeed. So as KHRZ said their is no such thing as a minimum system specs requirement for dolphin.

It doesn't exist

The cake is a lie.


Seriously though. Even if you buy a game sometimes you'll see Minimum specs, and if you do have these, your PC will have crap-FPS.

The thing is:
Minimum =~ Don't even think about installing this, if you don't meet the specs. It probably won't run! And even if it does run, you won't be too happy with it.
Recommended =~ That's the least you need, if you expect decent FPS.

The first pc in my sig gets good FPS

Any intel core 2 Duo E7500 or higher E Series CPU Should Run Generally smoothly in almost every game.

You should be cuation if you are going to buy an i7 and seek many advices.
How ever Core 2 Duo E7500 or Higher from the E Series is The Most guarnteed for dolphin.

I have one my self, and it runs smoothly in most of the games.

If you haven't tried at least a core i3 don't give such advices.

Core2duo and Core2quad have poor performance on many demanding games.

Why caution against an i7? The series are the best CPU's on the market, if you get one with a decent clock speed.
