Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hey guys!

Can somebody pls tell me why Wind Waker doesnt run smooth on my Sytem? :

Win 7 64 bit
Athlon X3 455 @ 3,3 GHz
4GB DDR3 Ram
Ati Radeon 4250
using latest build of Dolphin 64 bit

Yea i know the GPU sucks, im going to buy a Radeo 5770 anyway, but i should be at least able to run WW with fullspeed in native resolution (fullscreen), right?

Greetings

you answered this yourself; "Ati Radeon 4250... (Yea i know the GPU sucks)"

trust me, i used to have one and they're not fast enough (or more perhaps more precisely they don't have enough memory bandwidth) to run a lot of games at native res.

So basically a new graphic card would solve this problem?

If i buy a new fast Card will other games work fine?
I should mention that i do not plan to play in HD.

To bad. A 5770 is enough to handle 1920 x 1080 with ease. With that cpu most games should run well, but some heavier games will still run slow (SMG, SMG2, MP, MP2, MP3, sonic colors to list a few examples).
