I was wanting to know that with my current system specs

CPU~ AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad Core at 3.2GHz stock
RAM~ G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1333
Hard Drive~ 1 TB Seagate SATA 7200 rpm
Motherboard/GPU~ integrated ATI HD 3300 specs here

that if I bought this GPU (a Sapphire HD 5850) would it increase the frame rate significantly or is that based on CPU specs? becuase at the moment Im only pulling about 20 Frames on most Gamecube games (eg. Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Sunshine) and about 9 frames on Galaxy

the games I really want to use on this are
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Double Dash
and New Super Mario Bros Wii and Pokemon Battle Revolution if they'll work

what I really want to know is will buying that GPU significantly increase the frame rates to something playable (50-60) for the games listed abouve on my pc
thanks to anyone that can help

It Should give you a bit more FPS then with your intergrated video card. But Dolphin is more CPU dependent the GPU So its not going to give you the boost you need.

What you need to do is buy a good new CPU (Intel Recommend) And a Cheap Video Card

for this test put frameskipping on 2 so it will test what your cpu can do. That is how many frames your cpu can do. The difference is because your graphics card is lagging behind your cpu.

what would a good GPU do for Galaxy? Would it run it any where near 60 frames? cheers

ok thanks,
task manager says that my CPU is running at 40-45% when playing Dolphin
also im on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit if that makes any difference.
thanks for your help

yeah it says 40-45% because dolphin only uses 2 of your cores so 50% would be the max anyways

Then, with his CPU... he needs to buy a new one to play dolphin? I've seen videos playing Metroid Wii (don't know exactly the name) in dolphin with that computer and a 521MB video card with 60FPS Confused
Oh, srys
I went looking on the video to show the config, but I saw it was an Intel Core 2 quad...

This just gave me 5-10 FPS -> get your graphics card settings focused on performance... in mine, they were pointing to quality, so when I turned them to performance my FPS just miprooved by 5-10.
sadly, I still have 15-20 FPS :'( Tongue
