There's no way I would buy a radeon 4870 just for 15 FPS more in games...that would give me 75 FPS in dolphin instead of 60 , MIND you, a motherboard AND new PSU?...for FIFTEEN MORE FRAMES?...people are buying money blind
Before criticizing on AGP ensues, look at this link:
http://www.agpbattleground.com/3850%20battleground.html
AGP is fine but if you have a slot with an agp slot you will have to upgrade unless you want like a 6000 series gforce card for the rest of your life... and you wouldnt get 75fps in dolphin rather than 60 if you have a 60fps framelimit... that makes absolutely no sense
Thelukestir:
I thank you for your support. When it comes to using PCI-E or AGP, a lot of people judge mostly on favorites than fact. What i'm saying is that if you LOOK at the spec comparisions, and if you can USE a dual/quad core that DOESN'T bottleneck, your pc lives on and plays games better than most PCI-E NON SLI/Crossfire users do. I'm sorry, but AGP does me good for now, and there's NO reason to upgrade yet if I have an still play games at full speed.
Oh yeah, RE zero, Wind Waker, twin snakes, and Metroid Prime all play full speed now. Thanks!
i was wondering if u can help me out
i'm trying to play Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn on Dolphin but its running at around 6 fps... and thats just the startup sequence, the game runs at around 8 fps in menu
as for hardware my graphics card is:

and i have a
Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
the instructions at the front of this thread didnt boost my gaming experience, could someone please tell me if i should get a new graphics card or processor
Your processor is good enough yes, it would be nice if you could overclock it but since you can't it's still fine for most stable games.

Lol I was still answering the TS. :o And yes that P4 is not good enough.
so the P4 is the problem, not the graphics card?
graphic card is hardly a bottleneck. Pentium 4 probably has the worst performance per clock of any cpu.
