How well will my laptop run Dolphin?

[ibby]

Hi,

I'm looking to emulate a few of my games on the Dolphin Emulator. Just wondering how well I'll be able to run it at. Here are my specs:

Intel Core i7-720QM processor (1.6GHz/2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB L3 cache)

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 graphics card

8GB DDR3-1066 RAM

I just want to run a few games, I don't mind slightly lowered graphics, I just want a steady FPS of around 60.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Depends on the game. What games do you plan on trying to run?

Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Donkey Kong Returns, Metroid M

you almost have the same specs that i have
the list of games that you want to play should
work fine 50 to 60 FPS

Should run most games at 60FPS, huge ones will slow down a bit but that's the same with all computers really.

If you can afford a laptop that can run dolphin @ full speed you should at least donate some money to the poor xD

Thanks for all the replies and help, but um, I tried running my copy of Donkey Kong returns on the latest Dolphin build at the default low resolution, and I was getting around 30 fps. Is there a thread on how to setup Dolphin, or is my laptop just bad?
