Hello again,
I currently am using the E3-1270 V2 CPU in my computer, and I was wondering if this would still be a good processor to run most games on in Dolphin? I know that this is an older Ivy Bridge CPU, however I believe I read recently that Dolphin has shifted more towards the GPU now than the CPU. My main question is whether I should just purchase a new GPU for this computer (the current one can only run games at native resolution) or build an entirely new one with a different CPU? I can upgrade to the E3-1290 V2 CPU in my current computer but it would only be an extra 0.2Ghz clock speed so I'm not sure if that would help.
The passmark specs of the E3-1270 V2 are:
Multithreaded: 9776
Singlethreaded: 2151
And it is 3.5Ghz with a turbo clock of 3.9Ghz (1 core).
