Well , I have Chrome IGP Family (We all know its a horrible graphic card for 3D Games >_>) and I am willing to buy a new graphic card but what should I buy?.
I have 4GB Ram (75 Used for Graphic Card) and 4GHZ (75 used for memory) , my computer isn't laggy and it works well , I alredy emulated PS2 Emulator and made it like 60% speed or 50%.
here is my computer description:
Also my graphic card is : "Chrome IGP Family" , I know its bad.
What graphic card should I buy? what do I need to make my Wii Emulator work Perfect or almost full speed or even half speed judging my computer description?
With that computer, you'll never see any "full speed" emulation. Unless you can overclock to 7 GHz of course, and even then it's not guaranteed.
A better card will only give you a little-to-medium boost in FPS, and nVidia cards are good for the task: 8800 and upwards.
Still do not expect any full speed results. Maybe in a couple of non-demanding games (or some optimized games that have been through many fixes for it's correct emulation), but that's it.
it's not about the clock speed! It's about clock for clock performance. a 8ghz p4 lost to a 3ghz conroe. Also, you can't use frameskipping because the jit can't recompile fast enough.
Yeah I know , Via is horrible that is why I am trying to buy geforce but I only want to see if it makes a difference. I Try to open the game using dolphin and openLG and it doesn't work (I am not surprised) or try D3D and it shows a black screen (I am not suprised) and the sound is slow so I guess , ofcourse I am using via chrome and it suppose to do this lol
you guys recommend what graphic card? is geforce9800 that good?
I take the advice and I won't take ati.
and 1 more question , which is a better plugin OpenLG or D3D9 , becuase I heared openLG normally doesn't start games and an error message says it doesn't have memmory. also the screen shot i posted (its from my computer).
what should I buy to be perfect with minimum requirement games like sonic , My birth day is 30 July so , give me an Idea

Really an e7200 (2.5ghz c2d) will run games nearly fullspeed. And those things overclock to the moon - i had 3.0ghz on stock cooler with no problems on a nothing motherboard.
sorry for hijacking the thread, but i am building a new rig and have a question very similar to the OP's.
i'm settled on a core 2 cpu but i am torn between Nvidia and ATI for the gpu (probably HD 4850 or GTS 250). which would be better for dolphin? i've been researching this for weeks but cannot find a definitive answer. any help would be appreciated guys!
oh and for Sonic2036 - you should try and get as fast a Core architecture processor as you can, and then get a GPU to go with that. what i mean is your current pentium isn't fast enough for dolphin no matter what graphics card you have. get a fast cpu (an e5*00 or e7*00 for example) - the fastest that you can afford and that your motherboard will take - and then get the best graphics card that you can afford. hope this helps.

is it ok a intel core 2 , 3GHZ and a Geforce8800?
might as well see my Old possessor. also , the Thread was about to die but it didn't really die so I don't mind XD
I would say, go buy GeForce GTS 250. It's a high end low budget card. Performs very well. I really recommend it. Never buy ATI cards if you don't want crappy drivers/software and other well known problems.
Just go for GeForce!
Yeah, OCing is a good thing. Even when your cpu is fast enough. OCing is fun to do, takes some time, but the results are awesome! I OCed my Q6600 from 2.4 to 3.6, I bought a Z600 cooler. Temps are good and pc is 50% faster!
If you really want to push it up high you should look for watercooling. With water cooling I could reach the 4 ghz eass!
I don't want to discuss that right here. I'm just saying if you don't want any problems, buy a GeForce card. Maybe you have no problems with ATI but if you just want a piece of hardware that really works great buy GeForce.

and depending on the budget it can be a good solution, i usually wouldn't meddle but i hate misinformation and exaggerated fanboyism.
