My PC is powerful enough to run dolphin? - RandomAccess - 01-14-2017
Hello! I'm new at this forums and I'm asking if my PC is powerful enough the Metroid Prime Saga (1, 2 and 3, with different ISOs) at atleast 60 fps
CPU: i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz
Mobo: Asus H81M-A
RAM: Adata XPG 8GB DDR3-1600
GPU: Zotac GTX 1050 Mini
HDD: Seagate 1TB
Resolution: 1440x900
Aspect Ratio: 16:10
So, my PC would be able to run it? At what settings?

Yep! should be A-OK to run the majority of what Dolphin can play at HD resolutions!
Some games that require LLE audio or are just nightmares to emulate might lag a little. But those are very few and far between.
Also note, Metroid games will need to compile a massive amount of shaders to emulate graphics correctly. In order to keep things stable, this is compiled on the fly and will cause stuttering as each shader needed is compiled, but then cached until you update Dolphin.
