Then the GTX 550, remember though getting a new GPU will gain you 0fps in dolphin

Because?

I take note of that
RE: Video Card. - DefenderX - 04-04-2012
Because an emulator like dolphin is more demanding for the CPU.

A better GPU will just allow you to increase graphical enhancements, will gain you no speed
RE: Video Card. - AnyOldName3 - 04-04-2012
Unless you have the graphics set too high already.
Unless you are in a rare case of a GPU bottleneck (which you aren't, as your CPU is too slow to not bottleneck things) a new GPU won't do anything other than make it look prettier.

Okay i understand now and i remember that i have a wii console right in the garage, i don't play it because it only have limited rpg games i like, mostly i play ps3 games. I will check my motherboard if i can upgrade my CPU.
For example have 6 cores or 4 cores if i play a game does the percentage of my all cores goes to 100%? in your experience?
Have a good day.

Actually not. I have 4 cores and the workload is on all cores between 20-50% (depends on the game).
RE: Video Card. - Zee530 - 04-04-2012
Dolphin uses 2 cores
4 cores = 50% (2 cores)
4 cores + LLE on thread = 75% (3 cores)
RE: Video Card. - AnyOldName3 - 04-04-2012
But LLE will never use a full thread except on really underpowered CPUs.

That's why my 2 cores are 100% i will get at-least 4 core CPU.
