Is a GTX 1070 enough to run Dolphin emulator perfectly?

Or should I wait for the Volta series later this year?

Also how demanding is the Wii U emulator as it is now?
As a Dolphin and GTX 970 user I can say - based on my experience - that the GTX 1070 is more than enough to run the games on Dolphin; however, more important is the processor you are going to use. I recommend at least an i5 4690 (same as mine). Take note that some games do not run at full speed because of the emulator and the games themselves, and some of them need specific configurations to run at near perfect speed. Windows 10 and Direct X 12 help too, since the developers could achieve better results combining Dolphin and DX12.

I got an Intel i7 4770k. Should of mentioned that before.

That doesn't need to be upgraded right?

I'd just like to point out, everything depends on drivers and optimization. As long both are good, even a decent gfx card can do Dolphin '100%'
