Hi,
I have 2 main questions about dolphin performing on the amd cpu.
I've ordered a cpu the x4 940 in the hope to get a cheap 4 core cpu that performce well enough. Now I hear Dolphin doesn't like amd cpu's basically a q6600 beats a x4 940 in dolphin. Is this true and to what extent why? Is it because amd x4 only supports sse2?
And my last question is, I basically want to be able to run SMG and some other cool games (super mario sunshine nsmb wii etc) that I own on my pc. Can I run them at 60 frames on stock 3 ghz? Does resolution affect speed much as in can I run it in 720p same speed as native 480?
I hope someone can clarify this to me it would help others choose what cpu to buy cause now I get the feeling I should have gotten the equally priced e8400 but then again all I want is to be able to play dolphin, coming from a lowly celeron LMAO.
My specs;
x4 940 @ 3ghz
2gb ram 1066 mhz
saphire hd 4890 1 gb gddr5
Oh and final note, any amd x4 940 users here? Some personal stories opinion about the x4 940 from someone who owns it would be highly apreciated. Just tell us how well it runs on the games you have tried.
