Basically, I have an i5-2500k, and I feel the only thing I really actually use/need it for is Dolphin, and maybe Vegas, but I'm pretty sure AMD CPU's are just as good in Vegas. I've been debating selling this for a while (and unfortunately, it's lost some value because of that) If you couldn't tell, I have a motherboard with an FX-4350 in it just sitting around, and honestly I'm pretty sure I'd barely notice a difference. My question is, how big of an impact would it make on my Dolphin experience? I'm not sure I play too many intensive games except maybe a few, but shouldn't I still be able to play a lot if not all of them at full speed? My other specs are in my signature, and here's a list of games I have dumped for Dolphin for performance questions, like if certain games would be impacted, if any.
Welp, I guess I didn't realize how many games I had, lols. I'm sure some of them people aren't too sure about either, which is totally fine.
