ATI Radeon Vs NVidia Geforce - Nerve - 04-04-2009
I know that in all emulators what really counts is the clock/architecture of the CPU you're using in order to get better speeds, but since both the Wii and the Gamecube use ATI graphic chipsets, wouldn't there be a positive difference if we use a Radeon? Also, will it make a difference if my graphics card has 1GB of video ram (dedicated, of course) instead of 512MB? Thanks in advance.

I heard Dolphin works best with Nvidia... but certain features are best with ATI apparantly
RE: ATI Radeon Vs NVidia Geforce - Wesker - 04-05-2009
I didn't vote as I think that both are great, Nvidia for sheer horsepower, ATi for the little extras (My 4870 has 7.1 surround built in
)

The question of the poll is what you own, not what you prefer! :p (because the two are not always the same) And why prefer the audio of a graphics card? It can't be compared to a Xonar or an X-Fi....

Built in Audio = Trash.

True, but most people can't realize what good sound is until they use a good separate sound card and speakers with a good frequency response... So what graphics series is best for Dolphin people?? Or it doesn't make difference as long as it has enough power?

i voted nVidia! because i have one, and had no troubles with it!

Well I own both :p. And....I never said I prefer the audio...it's just nice that a GRAPHICS card actually comes with an audio processor, so when you are running HDMI through your TV you can get audio too, without any other cables.

Indeed, it is a great convenience to use one cable for both audio and video...
But using a separate sound card not only gives you better sound, it gives you features like EAX, OpenAL hardware acceleration, and a small performance boost because the sound processing a game's engine does is handled by the sound card instead of the CPU.

Really?, I had no idea. What more can you teach me Master Splinter?
