Intel turbo for Super Mario galaxy?

I used the following:

H61M-P31--G3

Intel core i3 2120

4gb ram DDR3

AMD Radeon HD 6670

Windows 8 32bit

to play sonic colours on the stable dolphin 3.5 and it was
okay in some places but it also had lots of lagging moments

I then downloaded the dolphin 3.5-336

And sonic colours ran perfectly

I was wondering if I updated to a core i5 3570 which turbos
to 3.8ghz or even an i7 that turbos to 3.9ghz would I get good performance with
this dolphin when playing super Mario galaxy 1+2?

Windows 8 is stuck with the board that’s using the H61
chipset so no plans for changing this mother board for now


Thanks

Well... the Core i5-3570k is the best choice at the moment. But if you want to overclock, an H61 MoBo won't be enough. A Z77 MoBo allows overclocking.

It is your decision, what you do now.

Nah , SMG require LLE . i5 3570k @ 4.2GHz is recommended (same as i7 3770k @ 4.2GHz)
Quote:H61
Becareful !!!
You need to update bios before installing Ivy Bridge CPU , not all H61 mobo has this update . If your mobo manufacturer don't release this update , Ivy Bridge CPU will not work on your mobo
Bios update is kinda risky ...
You should wait for Haswell i5 4670k and new mobo that support overclocking

What do you mean ? Your Windows 8 activation code is stuck on that mobo or sth

Depends on what "good performance" means for you.
You'll get a decent speed. The game will be playable. But you won't get full-speed

With a non-k CPU? I highly doubt that. (unless you use HLE)

Also, an update to a 64 bit version of Windows would definitely be beneficial too.

An i5-3570 turbo-boosting with just 2 cores would actually probably play SMG 1 and 2 fullspeed, granted you used the old 3.0 build. That's not recommended since we have the new stable release (3.5) but these two games have gotten noticeably more demanding in the latest revisions as opposed to 3.0. For example, SMG2 on LLE ran very well on my stock clocked 2500K last time I checked on 3.0 some months ago. Though 3.0 doesn't have the latest bug fixes and enhancements, like improved Wiimote pairing.

SMG 1 & 2 on the latest revisions requires OCed hardware with LLE audio as far as I know, though Haswell might change this?

doubt haswell will change much. just a mild OC and 3.5 should be fine until Accuracy improves again and it demands 4.2ghz haswell / 4.5 ivy / 4.8 sandy. ( im being optimistic with my numbers :p)
