The problem is the money. I could now buy an i5 and i think in 3 months a new and good gpu.
Or i will save some money and buy a cheaper amd cpu and an new gpu.
Should be better to buy the i5 and wait for the gpu ?
Buy the I5 and use your current gpu until you can get funds for a new one.
Hey guys
I'd like to play Zelda: Wind Waker & Twilight Princess (GC) @ 720p, or at least at native res. without slowdowns. Would this be possible with the following specs:
AMD Athlon II X2 215 @ 2,7 Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 6450 1024 MB
If not, would upgrading to these make any significant difference:
AMD Athlon II X2 255 @ 3,1 Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 5570 1024
thanks in advance!
Miles
You could play native, but not much more.
^
thanks for the quick reply. Is this mainly due to the CPU(s) being too slow?...or the graphics card(s) ?

Your CPU is too slow
But GC games will work
The graphics card. Resolution and Anti-aliasing are based solely on graphics. Your CPU should handle Wind Waker and Twilight Princess fine, but keep in mind Hyrule field will be very slow (10 fps).
EDIT: Once you get the games working, start at native resolution and increase Internal Resolution and Anti-aliasing to your liking and fullspeed.
ok..thanks for the input. I'm only interested in playing two games (WW & TP) so I can't justify spending a lot of money. I'll go with this setup and try to overclock the hell out of it:
AMD Athlon II X2 215
ATI Radeon HD 5570 1024
I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions here.. I would only play WiiWare games; would this setup be good enough to get 60 fps all the time? And I'd also play only at native.
Intel Core i3-2100, 2 x 3.1GHz
Sapphire Ultimate Radeon HD 6670, 1GB
4GB RAM
Windows 7
Also it would be nice if someone could suggest a good motherboard.. And is that Sapphire Ultimate Radeon HD 6670 any good? At least it's quiet..

Yes
and then some (but not much [probably 720p]).
