Can my computer run dolphin and these games.......................................... - billaaa - 11-08-2015

Here are the games in no particular order. Xenoblade, smash bros wii, the last story, Metroid prime trilogy and legend of Zelda skyward sword.
Here are my pc specs.

Video Graphics Intel HD graphics 4400

Xenoblade and The Last Story are some of the most demanding games you can run in Dolphin. You have an "ultra-low power" processor (the "U" at the end of the processor model) which is not optimized for speed, and you have an integrated graphics chip. In my opinion, probably not, but maybe I'm wrong.

You definitely won't be able to play Trilogy. Especially Prime 3.

Your ULV CPU says no.

There's no need to upgrade graphics with a processor like that. In Dolphin, fps (and vps) depends on the CPU so unless it can already run the game at or near full speed, there's no need for the extra eye candy a new GPU would provide.

yeah, but if there be a graphic card such as 8800GT OR ABOVE can up the fps? Huh

Nope.

For emulation speed at stock settings, your CPU gets stressed the most.

Also billaaa has a laptop, can't fit a new GPU into that
