Anyone using a NUC or similar with Dolphin? - Shreddy - 09-07-2016

Does anyone here use a NUC or similar mini-PC plugged to your TV?
Ideally I would like to run Hyperspin, the most demanding emulator would be Dolphin.
I'd love to hear what you are using to successfully play!

My budget is $600 max. Thanks!!

In that case , you should buy Alienware Alpha ($443)
This version has i3 4170T @ 3.2GHz + Nvidia GTX 860M , it will run most games full speed at 1080p . The size should be the same as Intel NUC but it's much more powerful

Thanks so much!
Have you tried it yourself? Smile

I don't but other people did .
My laptop has similar specs , it can run almost all games full speed at 1080p or 4xIR .
At this price range , I doubt you can buy a better barebone PC anyway . Most if not all Intel NUC are incredibly weak for gaming
