And if your CPU can handle it a AMD HD6850 or better is recommended to prevent bottlenecking. While Dolphin does not require a top end card to run by any means, it is recommended to have at least the equivalent of a Nvidia 8800GT. The onboard graphics on your notebook is probably not going to cut it. The RAM should be OK.2GB is recommended and the more RAM you have does not really make a difference in performance like the CPU or GPU.Īnother issue I see would be a lack of dedicated video card. But the processor you have should run the Dolphin, but I'm not sure how well. The difference in processor performance is pretty signifigant. Having said that, the 2500k is a quad core 2nd gen that runs at 3.3Ghz and turbos to 3.7Ghz, compared to the M480 which is a dual core running at 2.66Ghz. Well first of all, the Dophin emulator actually recommends a Core i5 2500k or above for CPU to even get the 'best overall' game experience without running the games at full speed.
Is my computer powerful enough to run the wii emulators my specs are as follows Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5 CPU M480 2.67 GHz 2.67 GHz with 4.0 GB RAM (3.80 used) and 64bit operating system. My computer shuts off like 10-20 minutes of playing games using the Dolphin emulator.
