Depending on the games
Demanding games require i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz or even higher
At this point i can say no laptop is good enough for Dolphin atm (unless you're willing to buy 3000$ gaming laptop with extreme edition CPU that can be overclocked )
So list the games you want to play

*Dead Space Extraction
and isn't the gpu a key factor too?

This is quite interesting..
EDIT: I missed your edited post.
And so, Is my Processor enough for the games I listed? Thanks!

Quote:and isn't the gpu a key factor too?CPU power is more important than GPU . Dolphin is a dual core / CPU dependent application
GPU won't matter unless your GPU is too weak
For Example :
If i had 3 laptops :
Laptop 1 : i5 3210M + Intel HD 4000
Laptop 2 : i5 3210M + Nvidia GT 730M
Laptop 3 : i5 3210M + Nvidia GT 750M
3 laptops run Super Mario Galaxy (a very demanding game) with Framelimit disabled and lowest graphic settings
Results (Approximately) :
Laptop 1 : 30FPS (due to GPU bottleneck , GPU slowdown CPU)
Laptop 2 : 40FPS
Laptop 3 : 40FPS
The GT 730M can handle 2->2.5x Internal Resolution (Click here for more info) , no AA , 16x AF while GT 750M can handle 3->4x Internal Resolution , no AA , 16xAF

1) Fullspeed
2) Don't know how it performs with latest Dolphin version , expect fullspeed or near fullspeed
3) Won't run fullspeed , may be slow
4) May be too slow to play

If you want to go higher, you'll want a real video card, but a cheaper one should handle 3-4x IR just fine.(06-18-2013, 08:24 PM)RachelB Wrote: [ -> ]Oh so are you saying that a quite crappy gpu can play my listed games?Quote:and isn't the gpu a key factor too?Not at all.
