Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

What will I be able to run realistically.
I will most likely play 2-d fighting games.(Naruto,bleach,etc...)
Do most of these run okay?

I have:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
2g ram
Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nforce 430

The graphics cards really sucks haha


I could run smash bros at like half ish speed.
Run some yugioh game at full speed.(it is only cards on screen)
Animal crossing at more or less full speed.

Will Naruto/2d fighting run on the A10?
Will luigis mansion or wario world be playable at all.

My PC as of now is slow by todays standards.
Is this pc an okay machine to play some of these games?

Have you bought that laptop yet ? It would be game over if you did

Nope lol why?
Is is that bad with dolphin?

It performs ...not even close to i3 370M @ 2.4GHz

You should tell us about your budget . So we can make a suggestion

damn that's bad.
I see that A10 is better for pc games than intel because of the graphics(dual)
I see that PCSX2 ran a game well,but not dolphin wired.
Is the last generation of mobile AMD chips better?

My budget is around $500,less is preferred. Doesn't matter if it's not new,manufacture refurbished is good.
I can find an A10 laptop for around $450.

What would you suggest I get for PC gaming and emulators.
I even saw crysis 3 running on a A10,but it seems intel would be worse at least for pc games.

Basically , even a crappy Pentium 4 CPU will run Crysis 3 if you pair that CPU with a dedicated GPU
Dolphin demands CPU power

Quote:because of the graphics(dual)

7660G (integrated inside the A10 ) + dedicated GPU in crossfire ?

With or Without dedicated GPU ? Please post a link to that laptop

It should be this one Z585:

hmm are their different versions,some with dual graphics some not?
At least ebay has them as ATI Radeon HD 7660G,but no mention of other graphics card?

Edit : Fixed many typo
Well , A10 4600M + AMD 7670M cost around 700$
7660G is an integrated GPU (inside A10 4600M CPU) same as intel HD 4000 , it's not a "card"
Even AMD 7670M is just a chip & VRAM which is soldered on your laptop mobo
That's why I told you to post a link (ebays , newegg , amazon that sell 'em , not notebookcheck's link). I believe 450$ price does not include AMD 7670M

For only 450$ , that does make sense (they not include AMD 7670M because it will increase the cost)
An integrated GPU like HD 7660G does not play PC game well (not even close)

I suggest 2 notebooks

Can you find anything cheaper?
I got confused since it seems all I would find are the laptops with only the 7660G. Not both.

Would 7660G/A10 be that bad for gaming,even on low settings?
It seems anything else would cost over $600 with taxes and such.

Did you read the benchmark result I posted above
For Example :
Crysis 3 - low :
_Intel HD 4000 : 23 FPS
_HD 7660G : 28 FPS
Integrated GPU is not designed for gaming ...Both of them are no good
But i5 3210M is twice as fast as A10 4600M -> Great performance in Dolphin

Find any laptop that has Intel i3 3120M or i3 3130M or i3 3110M , those CPU is faster than my i5
