hello i'm new to the forums (but certainly not new to hardware talk) and i want to buy a graphics card to emulate GC and wii games. No plans of playing pc games.
currently, my pc has a integrated gpu. what i want to know is if my current CPU will be up for the task once i get the card. Here my specs:
AMD Athlon II X2 215 2700Mhz
4GB DC DDR3 535Mhz
PCIe 2.0 x16 compatible mobo
Win7 Home Basic x64
400W PSU
And i want to buy one of the following cards (because of the low price, im on a short budget):
RHD 6780
RHD 6750
RHD 7750
RHD 7770
GTX 550 Ti
Now, im sure the first 2 cards will do just fine, but im not so sure about the others. I plan to emulate all games @1280x720, no more, and no less. And no more than: 2x internal res + 4x AA + 8x AF.
Will my athlon serve for this purposes, once i get one of the above mentioned cards?? i really dont wat to buy a new cpu.. =/
