New PC - Never tried Dolphin - AbandonedTrolley - 03-08-2011

Have ordered a new PC and I'm guessing it 'should' be able to run Dolphin. The reason I ask is that I'm going to be running 2 x 560ti's in SLi, will this effect it or show any gain?

Specs are

Code:

• FREE CPU Overclocking to 4.70GHz

• Intel® 2nd Generation Core™ i5-2500K Processor

• GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 Graphics Card

• 8GB Mushkin (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 Blackline - 996776

• Kingston 64GB SSDNow V100 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

• 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 SATA-II 3.5" Hard Drive

• MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard

Thanks that's good to hear then, will try get it up and running once the PC is here. No doubt will be looking a lot through the forums to get the right setup!

Nah, I run in 1080p at constant 60FPS with a 2500k (at stock clock speed) and a single HD4890. Now considering how much more powerful a GTX560 is and... well you get the point. Tongue
