As soon as I get to swap out my HD 6670 for my GTX 560 Ti in the other PC I'll post the score, my CPU i5 2500k at 4.6GHz.
This benchmark might be the easiest answer to all the questions people have on whether their PCs can handle Dolphin, if the score is good then you're set for smoother emulation.
Thank you ! Now we have the super low budget Pentium Haswell result . This info is useful for my next mini ITX build
G3220 @ 3.0 is as fast as i5 3570k @ 3.8GHz which is good , very good
I redid my benchmark with the software specified by admin89. The results were rather weird. Could someone please look over them?
CPU: Intel Core i7 740QM @ 1.73 GHz (no OC), 2.93 GHz max Turbo Boost - Clarksfield series
OS: Windows 7 x64
Now of course I didn't achieve 2.93 GHz with Turbo Boost. I ran the benchmark three times with three different settings on ThrottleStop. Here's what happened.
ThrottleStop set to maximum multiplier (14 T)
Average CPU speed: 1.9 GHz
Time: 40:03
Complete results
ThrottleStop set to default multiplier (13, displayed as 65280 T)
Average CPU speed: 1.73 GHz (constant)
Time: 26:06
Complete results
ThrottleStop off
Average CPU speed: 2.0 GHz
Time: 25:35
Complete results
Now I don't know why the results varied under each condition like they did. I haven't used any of this software before and believe I followed the instructions provided correctly. Are the results valid? If not, what should I do to produce correct results?
If we need to use turbo correctly in order for our results to be accepted, can that please be made clear in the OP? If that's the case, could proper instructions for using turbo be referenced in the OP too?
Also, repeating my earlier request, could a 32-bit build of the benchmark please be made?
