So, I've tried running Dolphin in an Intel i5 3550 computer with its integrated graphics card (should be Intel HD 2500). I figured it should run well since it's not that far off from the recommended i5-3570K.
Turns out it still struggles with Pokemon Rumble, going to 45 fps or so in battles with lots of enemies (native resolution).
This makes me worry since I'm planning to buy a PC soon and I'm choosing that recommended i5-3570k for the CPU (with a dedicated graphics card though).
So my question, does the Intel HD 2500 really lower performance that much? I figured it must be eating the processor's own computing power for its GPU-related processes.
Just don't want to buy the wrong CPU here.
Also, I'm running this test on 32-bit so maybe that also factors in on the equation (planning to buy a 64-bit).
Oh, and also, are you supposed to overclock that 3570k to be able to run Dolphin smoothly? Because I have no experience in overclocking whatsoever and I'm afraid I'm going to fry it or something.
