Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

That's a GPU thing, isn't it, in which case it won't really matter what the CPU is.

- 4-wide front end with µOp cache from Sandy Bridge
- OoO execution engine from Sandy Bridge
- Data structures previously statically shared between threads can now be dynamically shared (e.g. DSB queue), improves single threaded performance
- FP/integer divider delivers 2x throughput compared to Sandy Bridge
- MOV instructions no longer occupy an execution port, potential for improved ILP when MOVs are present
- Power gated DDR3 interface
- DDR3L support
- Max supported DDR3 frequency is now 2800MHz (up from 2133MHz), memory speed can be moved in 200MHz increments
- Lower system agent voltage options, lower voltages at intermediate turbo frequencies, power aware interrupt routing
- Power efficiency improvements related to 22nm
- Configurable TDP

Sorry, I meant along side a decent card like a GTX 560. Dolphin isn't heavily CPU dependent?

It's entirely CPU dependant, but the stereoscopic 3D part is handled by the graphics card (I think at driver level). This is one of the few bits that CPU will have a negligible affect on.

So if you're reaching max speed in 2D mode, you're likely to have the same performance in 3D? If so... great news!

Depends

No. Stereoscopic rendering increases gpu load but not cpu load.

Well guys, the new parts are in, everything is up and running... and windows is trolling me. Ugh. So I can't really test yet until I get my system stable. Oh well.

Nice!

As for Windows trolling you, just do a reinstall and everything should be dandy.

jeah... changing the mobo without reinstall is tricky...
regedit tweaks and driver deinstall...

i think i did it one time for aa customer
