Hello all,
Recently bought a new custom desktop pc. I have a few questions though. First I'll list the specs:
OS: Win 7 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell 3.2GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
Motherboard: ASUS H81M-A LGA 1150 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
PSU: FSP Group 450W Micro ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1866 8GB (2 x 4GB)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12 Low-profile
Ok. So now first question is, out of these specs, which would be the bottleneck? According to Dolphin benchmarks my CPU is ranked #5 (if I counted that correctly) so would it be the GPU? Also I'm curious as to how the PSU plays a role in Dolphin. I hear if the PSU doesn't have enough power to utilize the GPU and the CPU then the PSU would be a bottleneck by throttling the GPU (I don't know if I understood that right). Alright so with these specs I'm thinking consistent full speed (60+) in all gamecube games and many Wii games at 1x. Perhaps I might drop below 60 at some points in several Wii games. Anyway is this rig that I posted good enough to run any Wii/GC game at 60 fps consistently? If not which games come to mind that wouldn't reach 60 on my rig? And of course out of my specs, which is the bottleneck?
Hopefully someone will be able to answer my questions. Thanks in advance!
