Exclusively?

I hear that the CPU is the majority of emulation, specifically Dolphin, and anything and everything graphical is handled by the GPU, if you have an independent card for it.


By this logic, if true, AA is completely dependent on my GPU correct?

Yes; the stronger your GPU is, the higher the IR/AA you can use.

Technically a higher IR can limit things on the CPU side. I learned this the hard way.

In what way(s)? Have any specific examples?

Higher Internal Resolution in anything that uses extensive EFB effects (especially EFB2RAM games) when at higher internal resolutions.

Oh, thank you.
