Acer Aspire V3-571G-6602
Intel Core_i5_2450M Processor 3.1GHz (3MB Cache)
4 GB SDRAM RAM
500GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M
All i particuraly want to play is Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, mabye PoR.
i would also like to know what settings i should use. Highest graphics fullspeed?
Any help would be appriciated.
sorry for 'listing my specs and running off'.
If you can satisfy these condition :
_CPU is not overheating when dolphin is running
_CPU turbo boost 2.8GHz all the time (3.1GHz is single core mode)
_Dolphin uses Nvidia GPU , not the crappy Intel GPU
Settings for Nvidia GT 630M : 2.5x Internal Resolution , No AA , 16x Anisotropic Filtering
If you haven't bought this laptop yet , you should get gaming laptop instead of multimedia laptop
I suggest Ivy Bridge CPU over Sandy Bridge CPU

Good job!
You should get 2-2.5x native and fullspeed easily.
To admin89- He had a relatively limited budget and couldn't afford a gaming laptop from my understanding of it.

exactly!! and werewolfyman suggested this one (i believe) and i am about to buy it (this weekend).
Like i said before , i5 3210M (Ivy Bridge) is a safer bet than i5 2450M(Sandy Bridge)
What do you mean ?
Sony Vaio ain't cheap . I doubt you could find any new vaio model under 500$ . Afaik , Sony Laptop ain't gaming laptop but they're expensive as hell
Also the mid-range GPU Nvidia GT 630 ~ 540M (rename - Fermi Architecture) 720p vs the mid-high end GPU Nvidia GT 640M (Kepler Architecture) 1080P ?
Intel doesn't want to kill Sandy Bridge CPU until they sell all of them . @OP you should wait a few months for Ivy Bridge
IMO , i skip both Sandy and Ivy , i might grab Haswell or Broadwell instead
I'm just looking for something cheap and will work. Apparantly this one will, and that's all i need.
I do appriciate your advice, Admin89, but i also need it like this week, and don't have alot of money to spend on it. It'll be at least a year before i think of buying a gaming/much more powerful laptop. But i really do appriciate and thank you for your input and thought.
So as long as this laptop can do it, im good.
Werewolfyman -- again, many thanks for all your help
