Is it possible to run without lags DK country returns on 8 core CPU?

[bololabich]

I have AMD FX 8320 8x3,5Ghz (but I can OC to 4Ghz or more) and Nvidia GTX 760, I wanna paly DK but on my PC it's unplayable because I have only 45-50 FPS. What can I do to run it on full speed? Is my CPU not enough? You can speak to me professionally cuz I'm studying IT.

I'm from europe and I'm still studying English, sorry if I made errors.

What DKC, snes ? Cores have zero to do with emulation. Few emulators will use 2 or 3 cores ( namely dolphin and pcsx2 ). 4ghz will play anything at full speeds under ps2/dolphin gen consoles.

I think about DK country returns for Wii

So dolphin? Its pretty well know that dolphin only runs well with sandy/ivy/haswell.

see bold

Which CPU should I use?

Dolphin is a dual core application that relies upon IPC (Instructions Per Clock) for performance. Additional cores will not make Dolphin go any faster, though an “extra” core that Dolphin isn’t using may help slightly by keeping background tasks from using the same cores as Dolphin.

Intel: Newer Core i5 and i7 processors such as the i5-4670K and i5-3570K are extremely fast and very affordable considering their relative power. The K series allows for overclocking, which can further improve the performance of those CPUs. Core i7 variants yield almost no benefit in IPC over the i5s they are based on, so save the cash if you’re building a Dolphin machine. For laptops, you can rely on the i7-4700MQ and i7-4930MX for the absolute best performance. Most games will run very well on any of those processors.

AMD: Due to very low IPC, AMD CPUs are poor choices for Dolphin. The FX8000 line of processors is the best they have, and even then most of those processors will be around half the speed of the 4670K’s performance with Dolphin.

Note: For more information regarding CPU performance, please checkout this handy benchmark that contains results from tons of users. Just remember that Dolphin is a console emulator: it does what the games instruct it to do. Every game has its own needs and requirements. Some games run well on most modern processors, while some won’t run full speed at all times on even the most powerful of processors.

OK, thanks
I'll OC to 4GHZ maybe will be better
