Hello everyone,
Is GT 330m enough to play dolphin emulator for game cube games? I tried mario tennis and it's slower than normal speed, i get like 40 fps while in game play.
I have an i7 so cpu should not be the problem..
Thanks!
my spec: Vaio, laptop, 64-bit, Intel Core i7 1.6 Ghz, GT 330m, 1080p, 1 gb vram, Win 7, 4gb RAM
which i7 ?
Yes. I assume it's at least the 720m and we're talking about a laptop. That gpu is weak but it's enough for games at native resolutions. It does depend on teh game.

Make sure you aren't locking threads to core.
WOW UR CPU 1.6 GHZ???? they make i7's that slow????? WAAY TOO SLOW CPU
trust me i7 core @ clocked 1.6ghz is not slow but im suprise that a sony vaio doesn't have a built in OC program.
usually laptops that have a i7 core have OC program that extent the performance of the cpu.
ik, but can it really handle gaming????
yes , even when is stock it could outstand games that needs a good computer like crysis, BFBC2 and MOF

yes but it says turbo boost to 2.4 ghz, which i dont really know what it means but its probably more than 1.6

intel turbo boost is a small program that enables a automatic oc to the cpu
but is not configurable

it's no program, it's a feature integrated into the cpu. It will always work unless disabled in BIOS.

core i7 720qm only runs at 1.6ghz (base frequency) on idle... When stressed on 1 core it runs at 2.8ghz, on 2 cores about 2.4-2.6ghz, etc...
