Now I know absolutely nothing about technical things....so I don't know if those specs are good or not....but because I know nothing about technical stuff, I kind of need some help setting up Dolphin (or knowing if I won't be able to do what I want to do). Now I've looked at tutorials and stuff for setting up, and I've set it up just fine....But I want it to display in HD...and whenever I try to display in HD I get a lot of slowdown. Anybody have any advice for overcoming this?

You'll need a better video card for higher internal resolution settings. That video card is not good at all.

Depends on what you want to spend. This is decent for 3xIR. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102941

This is decent as well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102943

This. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102935

Generally speaking, anything with 50GB memory bandwidth or higher should be fine.

I appreciate it. I definitely want to have a better graphics card for all my gaming needs. I'll have to look into this.

If you're really serious and want to play games with Dolphin at 4xIR (no AA) and max out most PC games, get something even better, like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948

Sweet. I'll look into that one then. Thanks for your help.

Instead of making a new thread I thought it would be best if I just posted in my old one. I have not purchased a new graphics card (due to financial reasons), but I have been supplied with one.

AMD Radeon HD 6670

I've fooled around with the setting in the emulator, but I can't really figure out the best settings for me. When I set a game to 3x Native 1920x1584 it works when I use Direct3D9, but characters have a yellowish tone to them. If I play the game with Direct3D11 it gets rid of the yellow tones, but I can't have the game run on 3x Native. So, seeing as I have no clue what I'm doing....is there any chance I could have some help figuring out what the best settings would be for my new card?
