problem with dolphin

Nah, it's not about intel. We discussed it earlier & thought it might be something with the newer nvidia cards, because there is never an ATi user who gets color depth issues and crashes/black screens. Every time someone has that problem, they seemed to have an nvidia card. So obviously mirage cards and nvidia have something in common, they fail to render some dx9/opengl feature. (This usually happens when a large multi-coloured screen object is animated in cutscene, or shortly before it appears).

If you buy a cheap replacement, it would be probably wiser to buy ATi card since it doesn't seem to have these issues.

What type of ATI card would be best for dolphin to play? I am using window vista 32bit, 256 mb of video ram(if this information is needed) or just any replacement? I would like to solve this problem once and for all. Big Grin

You can get Ati Radeon HD 4350 for about $40 bucks, or Ati Radeon HD 5570, 1 GB for about $95 bucks which will have dx11 support and enough to play even a lot of cpu games on high details.

Even though I have mostly nvidia cards on my rigs, I'd advise against buying the low-end nvidia models for gaming.
