Hello everyone.
I'm in awestuck frustration as my new Alienware M15x struggles to run the dolphin emulator. I tried F Zero GX and are to test Super Smash brothers Brawl soon.
However thus far it's not looking promising...
My system Specification.
Alienware M15X
Intel i7 820QM Quad Core, 4 x 1.73Ghz- turbo 2.93Ghz
500GB (7200RPM)
6Gb RAM 1333MHz DDR3
Intel 5300 Wireless Card
15.6in Wide TrueLife HD+ (1080) WLED
1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX260M
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
Is there a setting I'm missing to speed up the framerate?
Or would I just be better off with the system below, because I swear a lower i5 2410m that I tested not long ago ran the dolphin MUCH smoother.
Dell XPS 15
Intel i5 2540M (2.6Ghz - Turbo to 3.3Ghz.)
500GB (7200RPM)
4Gb RAM 1333MHz DDR3
Intel Wireless-N 1000
15.6 HD WLED TL (1366x768) 720p
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M (Ill overclock this to a GT 550m as it's the same chip)
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
Awaiting any help/ advice.
