Then why would you consider it? (assuming you don't want a new case)

Because it is fanless and has a memory bandwidth of 76 GB/s, which (as suggested in this thread) could be enough for playing multi-player games with dolphin.
This should fit and is more than capable of handling dolphin at 1080p: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102950

Smile Yes! I was posting it right now!
It fits perfectly in my case and it has a good price. The only drawback is that its heatsink would be very close to my cpu heatsink (about 1cm distant, or maybe less).. I dont know if it could be a real problem though..
I finally bought the Sapphire Ultimate HD 6670 1GB GDDR5. Thank you all for the help.

Sorry_Charlie

How is the card working out? I was thinking of getting the same one.

I'm hoping with a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz OC'd to 3.8GHz I should be able to play Skyward Sword at 1080p and max settings to make it look good on my Plasma..
Dunno if it would make a diffrence, but it looks like you can OC it a little to Core 865MHz/ Mem 115oMHz. :p

I can multi-play mario kart perfectly at a resolution of 1650x1200 (I don't remember the exact numbers of the resolution) but only using direct3D 9 (it could be a problem of the game, other games run well on d3d 11).

Didn't tried skyward sword and can't say if it can handle 1080p because my monitor can handle only 1680x1050.


Sorry_Charlie

Nice. Good to know! Glad to hear it's working out for you. Wink Thanks for the update. Smile
