Will these specs be efficient for 1080p 60fps on Dolphin?

[Falco_DJ]

Hi, I'm planning on building a computer soon and I wanted to know if these specs would be good enough for 1080p 60fps Dolphin emulation for Brawl. Here are the specs I'm planning on using:

• i5-3470
• 8gb ram
• EVGA GTX 970 SC

Thanks!

It'll be fine. My 1050 Ti mobile can push most wii games at 5x(3.5k) res.

thanks for your feed back! However, in the past few days I have decided to go with a 1050 ti. I appreciate it anyway, and I would have gone with the 970 but it wouldn't fit in my computer so I'm using a low profile 1050 ti.

I had a GTX 970 and a similar CPU, it'll run just fine

mario galaxy will struggle to keep 60 fps constantly. it loves single thread CPU power and my 3770K at 4,7 Ghz couldn't do it all the time.

Dolphin also takes advantage of multi-core setups too, so YMMV.

If I'm using a GTX 1050 ti along with the I5 3470 will I be able to keep constant 60fps at 1080p on Smash Bros Brawl?

For most games, yes, but games like The Last Story may struggle somewhat, the game is considered to be the most demanding to run on Dolphin.

 

[Falco_DJ]

Okay, I have never heard of The Last Story so I probably won't play it. Thanks!
Will project Project M play at constant 60fps 1080p? Thanks!

yes, but certain tasks are not able to be parallelized. so for mario galaxy you still need at least 5 Ghz to keep the 60 fps up all the time.

Ouch, but regardless, Dolphin does get more efficient and better all the time, so, still worth a shot
