I'm recycling an old PC for emulation, planning to play some titles form Gamecube, especially Super Mario Sunshine and maybe Zelda Wind Waker.
Would prefer to use some HD mod, but not mandatory, just want to play the game.

PC Specs:
AMD E6750 4GB RAM
ATI RADEON 2600 HD PRO
Win 10 Pro

From what I see in the forums, but the messages are too many to scan them all, I assume it should play fine on that system (at least playable, someone with similar specs even gets to use HD textures and 1.5x internal resolution) but I am struggling to get even base playability. Even using Isiikhura (last stable build), 1x internal resolution and no HD texture, with sound disabled, I get like 20 fps, with drastic drop down to 15/10 fps, which makes it completely unplayable.
I'm using D3D 11 for rendering (OpenGL don't even start).

I just need to know if it's my hardware that's too poor or if I can tweak some setting to get something playable.
No it's not.

That's a low end, pre-ryzen AMD CPU, and the GPU is possibly weaker than intel's iGPUs.
