Quote:Difference: i7 has 100Mhz higher clock, and Hyperthreading and an 8MB L3 cache instead of 6MB
Fixed that for you.
Quote:As mentioned earlier, you won't see any benefit from the i7 over the i5.
Also, AMD HD7xxx series GPUs have some problems with the D3D11 backend, so you may want to get an HD6xxx series card instead.
I'm pretty sure the 6000 series has the same issue. The guy in the thread that you're thinking of compared an HD5000 series card against and HD7000 series card.
Quote:only thing to add to the post above is that D3D11is not really "BETTER" per-say just newer. it has more support for things like shaders and effects for the DX11 cards. So no it does not preform faster, its actually slower in some cases.
Are you referring to d3d11 and d3d9 in general or the backends used in dolphin?
Either way you're wrong. Sometimes the d3d11 backend it faster, somtimes it's slower.
In the context of other applications d3d11 should always be faster than equivalent d3d9 code as long as it's properly optimized. The exception to this is obviously certain things that have no d3d9 equivalent.
