Hi guys,
I've got an existing HTPC which I built about a year ago, and it does a pretty great job at 720p, but my 1080p frame rate is hit or miss. Looking to upgrade (Metroid Prime deserves it), and I was wondering if I'd get more bang for my buck from upgrading my CPU or GPU. In other words, do you think Dolphin will benefit more from a CPU or GPU upgrade in my case? Is either upgrade option a futile waste of cash?
Current Specs:
Ubuntu x64, Dolphin 5.0
i5 6500 @3.2 Ghz
Zotac GTX 750 Ti Low Profile
8GB DDR3
Upgrade option 1: GTX 1050 Ti Low Profile

Upgrade option 2: i5 6600k @3.5 Ghz
