Are you using SSAA or pixel lighting? If not that GTX 460 should be able to handle anything dolphin can throw at it easily (even with a 3x efb scale). 3x efb + 4xSSAA on the other hand will result in a significant slowdown.

I am seriously considering an I3 2100 within the next 6 months if there is a good Itx solution by then.

So no ocing is necessary for sandy bridge? If so great, as I can save a ton of money and buy a non k chip with an h67 mobo

OCing is never "necessary", just beneficial. If you mean for achieving fullspeed in dolphin probably not as long as turbo boost is working. K series chips are only $20 more though. And P67 boards cost the same as H67.

I created some screens to show performance on my rig. r6837.

NSMB efb - ram
SMG LLE
ZWW LLE 4x SSAA framelimit off

So I guess the question is how much more fps does sandy bridge give. My cpu is overclocked but its super easy with this cpu and on stock cooler.

Edit: some pics are giving errors when trying to enlarge, direct links:

Warning: There are reports of Sandy bridge processors dying, and older 1.65v DDR3 kits MAY be the cause.

Emu-muncher, you should do a test on your HD 5850 on Mario Kart wii in this thread http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=14201 In pc games, the GTX 460 and hd 5850 are almost the same in terms of performance. So I'd like to see if the same apply to dolphin as well, think you can do it?

Edit, if you overclock your sandy bridge, do not take it over 1.380v on the core.
higher then this WILL KILL the cpu.

So from the SMG with LLE, can I conclude...
-Sandy Bridge (at emu-muncher's clock) is about 65% faster than my E8400@3GHz in Dolphin? (I get ~35FPS). Or are there different factors to consider?
