I have i7 2600 (non-K) based computer with 8GB of RAM and only the built in GPU which is Intel HD 2000 since the CPU is not the K-version.
Overall performance is fine (I have only tried New Super Mario Bros) but I noticed some audio stuttering after beating the first koopaling and revealing more of the world map. When I proceed to level there were no problems. Generally my PC is quiet but I can notice CPU fan increasing rpms after a while so Dolphin is putting some load to the CPU.
The GPU I have is not officially supported so I was considering purchasing AMD or NVIDIA card since I suppose it doesn't take much to beat the HD 2000. How much Dolphin puts load on GPU, my CPU should be OK, right? HD 2000 does not support DX 11 in hardware, so I guess when upgrading to one which does it should offer some boost?
