Required video card for gamecube

Hello all,

I have Dolphin 5.0 on my computer, I mainly play to GC games like Mario Kart.
With my actual config, I can play single player without Any issue. But when playing 2 players, The game slows and it is very uncomfortable.

My config is the following one:

Win7 home premium 64bits
Intel i5 4570 3,2GHz 6Mo cache
Intel hd graphic 4600
8Go RAM DDR3 1600 MHz

I think I need a video card but I don't know which one I have to choose.

Is a card like ASUS GeForce GT710 1Go is enough to run most of GC games? Else, what should I choose?

Many thanks

Debatably, but even so definitely not worth it.

You can get a used HD 7750 for 15->$30 on ebay and it will be like 10 times faster than that GT 710 .
If you don't like used stuff then the GTX 750ti ($100) should be fine for 1080p

That videocard is rubbish... even your Intel HD Graphic 4600 is faster: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compar...cmp[]=2451

Thanks for your answers,

By the way, I probably only play to Mario Kart DD. Is the HD 4600 enough to play at 720p ?
I expected to spend not much money in a video card just for one game.
If you think it is only settings issue, I'll try to make it run better, if not I'll look for a used card.

Do you have some review on the skylabe intel hd 530 ? For the same objective but on a new config.

Thanks

You can use Intel XTU - > Advanced Tuning -> Set both Multiplier of all cores and Processor Cache Ratio = max value (should be 38 or sth) . By doing this , you can unlock 2 pins and make your CPU run at 3.8GHz
