Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

That's a worthy purchase for Dolphin use and light gaming.
Well pretty much anything would have been an upgrade :p

A radeon 4850. Honestly, this card is only 100 bucks, it wil lout perform anything below a 5770, and is the 3rd strongest dx10.1 card by ati. I do not joke with hardware as its a side career for me. I use one and I play all my Gc games at full speed. PS2 games also. Not only will it work for that, you can run todays pc games on it quite easily. Games like MW2, borderlands, etc. My tip, do not get the 512mb like me, go for the 1gb. the 260GTX is good too. Not sure by i think they are on par. Problem is, a gtx260 is more of a power hog. By a long shot. I hope his psu can handle it

I agree, which is why i initially said a much stronger card would serve better paired with his quadcore.
He neglected to post what his pc is used for, so we can thus assume dolphin is his main priority and (now) he can play such suitably.

I again agree 100% with what you said, he simply bought with haste

Thanks again for the input
