Hi, this morning, my old laptop had a catastrophic hard drive failure and I’ve decided to get a new one straight away. It’s an older machine & I was thinking about upgrading anyway, mainly for Dolphin.
I’m looking to buy one for around £1200 to run dolphin at 4K flawlessly, with no frame drops at all in the games below, i.e. with plenty of headroom. I’m aware that many laptops tend to throttle the processor, so I’m looking for one that will never throttle, even during long play sessions. I don’t need to play PC games, this is going to be my dedicated long term GameCube and Wii machine, played on a 4K TV with Wiimote/nunchuck. I’d like to be able to always use Ubershaders at least in Hybrid mode - I think Exclusive would be pushing it at this price point? Obviously I want to stay away from Nvidia graphics due to the lower performance on Dolphin.
The games I want to run are:
Super Mario Galaxy 1&2
Metroid prime trilogy
Mario sunshine
F-zero gx
Pikmin 1&2
Donkey kong country returns
Skyward sword
Mario golf
Monkey ball 1&2
And a few others.
Cheers.
