So, with me finally having a much more powerful desktop (I assume) to run most games, I have a question which more than likely gives me a noobish appearance. Now, obviously, how a CPU/GPU handles Dolphin (or any sixth gen console emulator) is not to be compared with how the same CPU or GPU handles a PC game in terms of how the instructions are optimized and executed. Comparing how emulators and PC games is like apples to oranges.
Will running such a CPU-intensive program be severely detrimental in any way whatsoever? Weird question I know, I always wanted to find out for sure. I can see it being being strenuous on a laptop, but a desktop....not so sure.
Again, my specs are sufficient (I hope), but I always find it good to get reassurance from other users.
