Laptop - good enough?

[Gekimayu]

Yo,

I tried it many times in the past to run Gotcha Force(Gamecube) perfectly on Dolphin, but I kinda messed up, it sometimes ran with fullspeed but then dropped down to 10-20 fps, and then ran with fullspeed again(an up and down always) So before Im starting again, I rather ask u guys. I guess I dont have to write my Computer Hardware again? Since I wrote it in my registration, is it right?

Thanks for the answers

Could u give us the exact specs of your laptop?

btw: It sounds like overheating... pls check your temps with CoreTemp.

A bit embarrassing but...what do you exactly mean by the exact specs of my laptop? And how do I check my temps with the CoreTemp? Is it a specific programm, which I have to download?

Specs, technical specifications, the specific models for your CPU and GPU. It's already in your user profile, but for threads like these, we usually prefer people to post them in the thread itself as well :p

CoreTemp measures the temperature of your CPU. It might be overheating, but more likely your CPU is just too weak at 2.27GHz and no Turbo Boost. Some games have demanding areas, so games won't be playable at fullspeed all the time.

Operating System: Windows 7 x64
Processor/CPU: 4x Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 350 @ 2,27GHz
Video Card/GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500
Memory/RAM: 3GB

I hope I understood it... And I how do I check my CoreTemp? Mhm So I shouldn't try it again, 'cuz it can scew up again? I honestly dont want to spend time if its going to be a failure =)

Thanks for your fast respond!!

Well, 2,27GHz are pretty weak as Shonumi said. Some lighter games will be playable though.

Just install and start CoreTemp, play your game with Dolphin (about 20 minutes) and then post a screenshot of the CoreTemp window.

I'll try it out now(I was on vacation) I'll edit this post late =)

Edit: I played 2 hours now and the temp didnt overheat or something, so the game is playable, I have a average fps of 40-60, I get 40 when there are many enemys and stuff, its playable with 40 fps but still slow tbh(later in the game its going to drop to 30 I guess, because its going to have tons of big enemys), is their an option to push my fps? I have the standard settings right now, didn't changed something
