@ RachelB
I think you missed the gpu that I have.

I do have a discrete gpu, check my sig.

You should read more details about Nvidia Optimus technology
Discrete gpu uses a lot of energy . If the discrete gpu is turned on all the time , your laptop battery life won't last 1 hour
Nvidia created a technology called "Nvidia Optimus " . When laptop is in idle mode , Discrete gpu will be switched to integrated GPU ( which is Intel HD 4600 in your case) to save battery life

Nvidia Optimus have "game profiles" (PC games) which remember almost game application (For Example : Starcralf 2.exe) . When you run that game , integrated GPU will be switched to Discrete gpu automatically

Dolphin.exe is not in Nvidia's game profile , you must add it manually via Nvidia Control Panel

Edit : Ah So you reply to @RachelB's comment , not to me . I misunderstood your post

Not at all.

Oh so are you saying that a quite crappy gpu can play my listed games?

This is quite interesting..

EDIT: I missed your edited post.

And so, Is my Processor enough for the games I listed? Thanks!

Sorry for the edit. Yeah, basically the IGP on most recent cpus will be sufficient to run probably any game at 1x IR. If you want to go higher, you'll want a real video card, but a cheaper one should handle 3-4x IR just fine.

Ah thanks again for such a reply, but I do know that.

RachelB was probably referring to my question "Oh so are you saying that a quite crappy gpu can play my listed games? "

Yes, i was.

Bull's eye.

tiktakt0w, please do a benchmark for Wind Waker. I'd like to know how well the mobile version of i7 performs. Also if you can, try a demanding game like Super Mario Galaxy.

Yes I will, once I get the game.


I will actually buy one just to play it on dolphin.
