Hi, it's been a while since I last tried Dolphin and I've been thinking about trying to get it working again. Last time I tried playing Skyward Sword but I couldn't quite get a smooth 30FPS at 1080p. Is my CPU good enough without overclocking it? The cooler I have was picked to be quiet (Corsair H50) rather than efficient so my overclocking options are limited. My specs are below:
i7 860 2.8GHz
12GB RAM
GeForce GTX 570
Since the last time I tried playing around I've upped my RAM from 4GB to 12GB and changed my Radeon 4890 out for the GTX 570. But I've still got the same i7 860. I also realise there's been a good number of updates to Dolphin since my last attempt.
Should I be able to run most games decently at 1080p with this rig? Or is my CPU holding me back?
