Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Isn't the listed wattage the max output, not the input which it then wastes some of?

But yeah, get a decent branded PSU, or at least one with many good reviews, as if it goes very wrong it can fry your whole machine.

No. In reality they can pretty much put whatever they damn please on the box since there are several different wattage measurements that they can use. But normally they measure maximum input at full load.

ok a bought the GeForce GTX560 super over clocekd
now i am trying to run aragorns quest and it is barley moveing
i did all the upadte...

relax dude

some questions:
1. Where are your Dolphin settings? Can you post them?
2. Can you post the name of your i3 CPU + Clock speed?

btw: Some games need an overclocked i5-2500k/3750k to run @ fullspeed, e.g. Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, F-Zero GX and some more.

how do i know my clock speed?
by the way i now have run spiderman edge of time and it is working great..but in the catual game there is no sound....
in the begining all the credits and stuff there is sound but not in the actual games...why do i get those wired problems haha?
i will now post my settings just tell me what how do i know the clock speed (what is it)?
tnx man!

Dolphin does mostly rely on the CPU unlike standard PC games which demand more GPU-power than CPU, the GPU is only good for the X times IR (http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=20712). So you really shouldn't skimp on the CPU if you're build/upgrade is based on Wii emulation to be honest with you.

Take a look at my guide to see the (minimum) requirements for nearly full speed emulation as well as to find some tips on choosing your upgrade. http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=23374.

As for the games you want to run you should take a look at the Dolphin Wiki(http://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) or find the forum of your specific game.

so you saing basicly i should upgrade my cpu to at least i5 for dolphin to work properly...
my i3 is not enough?

Well that depends on the games you're going to play, if you want almost full speed on the most demanding games (SMG2, F-Zero etc.) as of this time you'll at least need an [color=#FF0000]overclocked[/color] Core i5 2500K. Though most games should run fine on your processor and the more demanding ones should be playable at 30-45fps, that is if you have a lot of patience .
As i mentioned earlier it could be that this game isn't well supported by the version of dolphin that your using and your CPU is just fine.
