Here's my current setup
Manufacturer: Lenovo
Model: Ideapad Y570
CPU: Sandy Bridge 2nd Gen Intel Core i7 2670QM 2.20GHz (Turbo Boost up to 2.66GHz)
Instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2. TXT
GPU: nVidia GeForce GT555M 1GB GDDR5 (Intel HD3000 IGP disabled)
RAM: 8192MB DDR3 SDRAM 1333
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit
I know that my machine probably isn't that great but I also know clockspeed isn't the absolute most important factor. As of now, I can run many games on Dolphin just fine; SSBM, SSBB, Mario Kart Wii, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Soul Calibur 2, etc.
And yet, I don't know if I'm getting as much out of Dolphin as I can. As to what the best settings for this machine are, I don't know. Heck, I doubt I can even run LLE without a huge sacrifice, but then again, I could be wrong.
Current build: Dolphin 3.0-601-g-330f6ed [x64 L102 ICC Build by Lectrode]
Any advice/feedback is greatly appreciated.
