Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Afaik : H61 , H67 ,P67 , Z68 mobo need to update/flash bios to use Ivy Bridge CPU on it (require knowledge , skill)
You should get these mobo : H77 , H75 , Z77 , Z75
Biostar is not a good brand IMO .
Recommend mobo brand : Intel , Asus , Gigabyte , MSI , Asrock

Thank you so much for your help.

You can see AMD FX 8150 in a high rank there why you say its slow?

For Dolphin (and gaming generally), the AMD Faildozer IS slow. Not recommended at all.

Get rather a Core i5-3570k.

Not only Dolphin , PCSX2 benchmark :

Quote:Dolphin use 2 cores + 1 (LLE on thread)

FX-8150 is eight core processor but it suck at performance per core .
For Example :
8 cores FX- series = 8 weak people
2 cores i3 2100 = 2 strong people

Multithreaded Application such as Photosphop : 8w vs 2s -> 8w win
Dual Core App such as Dolphin , PCSX2 : 2w vs 2s and 6w people do nothing -> 2s win

Btw,Bulldozer is power hungry beast . You will have to pay large amount of money for electric bill later

Thank you guys again for the answer.

I'll record this when I go shopping and see everything in there.
I wont buy the AMD FX, i've been watching videos and the perfomance with AMD6000 series is incredible awful, games are having 30 or 25 fps, when I see Intel i7 2600k or Intel i5 2500k have better results.

Thanks indeed.
