Quote:Dolphin is a dual core application , that's why newer dual core i3 outperforms last gen quad core i5Here's a question then, will/can Dolphin ever become a quad-core application? I ask this because rather than "upgrade" my current system I will be building one only for "retro" emulation. And yes I now consider Wii retro :p. If I could save money/increase cpu frequency by reducing cores I'd go ahead with an i3-4340 for 90 euros, otherwise, the 4670k is the best bet it seems. Perhaps the i5 OC better?
Quote:You never mention AA in the first place . I thought you were only talking about 1080p alone (AMD 7870 is good enough in this case , R9 280X is overkill) .My bad! Subconsciously I hoped my puritanical whims would have made that obvious
haha. A 780Ti would make the whole purchase too expensive for my budget, maybe I shouldn't set my sights so damn high for now. Is the 280X capable of giving me 4xIR with some AA? If so it's a good bang/buck...for now.
