Hi guys, this is my PC:

CPU: Intel Core i7 LGA1156 860 2,8GHz
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE 1156 GA-P55A-UD3 (P55)
VGA: ATI SAPPHIRE HD5850 1G GDDR5 PCI-E (21162-00-50R)

is it good for dolphin? I mean, can I play games as shon in those pictures (Capcm vs Tatsunoko, for example) http://www.dolphin-emu.org/demo.html ?

Can I play in full hd and filters with a good bitrate?

thanks

Not all games will run at full speed, but quite a few will. What games exactly are you planning on playing?

CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K @ 4.4 GHz
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Factory OC'ed)
RAM: 16 GB @ 1600 MHz
Dolphin Revision:3.0, 3.0-784, 3.5, latest 3.5

Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 will not run at full speed with LLE audio (which is required at some points in the games), but it might come close with HLE audio; I don't know really on that though. SMG 1/2 are 2 of the top 3 most demanding games I have heard of on Dolphin.

I think the majority of the other ones will run close to full speed (if not full speed) most if not all of the time, but I haven't personally tested or read about some of those games.

You should be fine with: DKCR, Mario Tennis (though this one has graphics issues in Dolphin), Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Zelda: SS, Zelda: TP (but there will be slowdowns in hyrule field), SSBM. Afaik, the Resident Evil games are pretty demanding, so you might have problems, you might not. The Metroid games also tend to be pretty demanding, but I think they will run about the same as SS and TP (which is full speed sometimes but not all of the time).

The other ones idk.

ok, thanks!

And do you think I have to install the Web Installer DirectX End-User Runtime as shown in this video?

Now I haven't installed it... so if I run the last build (0758) the Dolphin doesn't works: i appear a pop up message which reports that the XINPUT1_3.dll isn't in my computer... what can I do?

VGA was a graphics standard created by IBM back in 1987 for its line of IBM PS/2 PCs. Due to its widespread use the term caught on and many people still use it today to either refer to VGA cables, VGA connectors, VGA resolution, or to refer to the GPU or graphics card.

In other words your question doesn't make any sense.

ah,ok...I have read in some forum that some users have overclocked their VGA (the same I have). In any case, do you think that it's enough I overclock my CPU up to 3,5 Ghz from the 2.8Ghz?
