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

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
