Games goes slow - MqBuffon - 12-15-2013
Hi, i'm new in the forum.
You see, the games used to run better at 3.0 version. And now are slow at 3.5 and even 4.0
Now, almost all the games run very slow.
This are my specs:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

For Dolphin , your CPU is too weak . Dolphin becomes more demanding over time
Since you have a laptop which can't upgrade , just get a better computer
And if your laptop overheat (99.9% happen on a multimedia notebook with a dedicated GPU) , your CPU will be underclocked . Dolphin will run much slower
Mobile : i7 4702MQ , i7 4700MQ , i7 4700HQ ,i7 4750MQ or better CPU
Desktop : i5 4670k + Z87 mobo

You see, i'm kind a neophyte in the hardware topic.
Can you recommend me a good enough computer?.

Does it has to be an overpriced macbook or a top of the line gaming laptop or a PC (you have to build it yourself , i only suggest components , Prebuilt PC cost twice as much) ?
_Macbook Pro Retina 15" (i7 4750M @ 3.0GHz turbo with 4 cores active + Intel HD Iris Pro 5200 which is on par with Nvidia GT 650M) : 2000USD
_Gigabyte Untra Thin Gaming Laptop (i7 4700HQ @ 3.2GHz + Nvidia GTX 760M) or The better version (better cooling unit) (i7 4700MQ @ 3.2GHz + Nvidia GTX 770M) . Both of them cost 1400USD each (also include 128GB SSD)
_A top of the line gaming PC for Dolphin : 600USD+ (Will throw it here if you choose this option)

So, any PC can be a good one, with the appropriated components?

Most Prebuilt PC are bad , especially bad for your pocket
Where do you live btw ? US (newegg.com) or EU (amazon) or UK (scan.co.uk)
