Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

hi

i decided to buy a new pc , and i would like to run dolphin correctly , i mean not especially at high resolution but at full speed or nearly.

so i would like to be able to run correctly this games :

baten kaitos eternal wings and the lost ocean
the legend of zelda twilight princess
xenoblade chronicles
and the last , metroid prime .

i am not able to buy a very expensive pc , so my choice could be one with this hardware :

for the cpu : Intel Core i5 4590 : 3.3ghz to 3.7ghz with the turbo boost , not overclocking .

for the gpu : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce2 OC)

for the memory 2x4gb

is it realistic to do it with this kind of hardware ? , because dolphin is always doing better and better , so a top computer i think is
not necessary .

what do you think ???

thx .

What's your budget you're working with?

well , i found this computer :

http://www.materiel.net/minisites/pc-assemble/acheter.php?modele=falcon&produit=104061&version=0

the page is in french but you can see the hardware .

it cost near 820 euros .

Build it yourself, save money. Here's what I would recommend: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/4CgnrH
(since you mentioned Euros and linked a french website, I'm going to guess you're somewhere in Europe?)

first i thought to build it by myself , for saving money and for learning .

yes it's another option .

anyway what do you think about the hardware i mentioned for running dolphin and playing the games above .

ah yes i still live in europe , in brittany near uk .

Building a computer yourself is the best option. The build I linked is cheaper and has faster components.

Would go with the GTX 960 over the GTX 760 if possible; if just for dolphin, could probably get away with a 750 Ti

For Dolphin? If you're really on a tight budget, the GTX 460 would do fine for most games.

ok , i know the problem is not the graphic card , i will probably choose the gtx960 ; the difficult part can be to choose the good

processor , in my case i want the i5-4590 , but i want to be sure i can play all this games correctly at 3.7 ghz with turbo boost if

needed.

baten kaitos eternal wings and the lost ocean

xenoblade chronicles
and the last , metroid prime .

i read a lot of posts , it seems possible for all , but for metroid prime it could be more difficult . anyway dolphin is always doing better

and better ; so choosing a good computer is one thing , but the evolution of the emulator is also very important .

so thx for the people who are working on it .
