Powerful Machine... will it help ?

[kayoto]

Hello everybody, I'm new to your community.
I'm currently working with a Powerful machine compare to regular home-user machine, and my friend suggest me to try ask the development of Dolphin if it will help to test it, but I didn't know how to contact with the developers because I didn't see any contact on the official dolphin site (maybe I missed it ?)

current equipment:
Dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz (2 cpu's of Intel Xeon )
4 GB Ram
1 TB HD Sata2 (using HighSpeed Scsi Raid system)
Nvidia Quadro Fx 540 (Will upgrade to something much more stronger ASAP)

I never tried the emulator before (I just downloaded it first time) and If I can help in anyway to test specific stuff such as FPS or anything else, I will be happy to help.

If it's nothing to help with its ok, I just thought I can help test specific stuff with your development, so please feel free to ask at anytime.


Sorry about my Bad English.

It's a pretty good machine but they don't need someone with a faster machine to test it. Odds are it would run a little faster for you then most people, but they arn't worried about the speed right now. Plus they already have a full beta tester crew. Of course you're more then welcome to test it yourself and see how it goes, but as far as an actual beta tester goes having a faster machine isn't really important.

Well coco explained enough I guess.
From my point of view I would suggest you to just tryout the dolphin 1.03 beta which is posted in this forum. And post some results here...

4 Ghz Ram

Yes, I'm a nitpicker - but I think you mean 4 GB.

Thank you guys for the kind respond, (Toasty - Hehe yeah, my bad I just fixed that).

I will try it on that computer propably, I wonder if it will run ok I'll be happy to tell you guys

any recommanded Game that should work almost perfect or perfect that you recommand me to test ?

I was just wondering a similar question about my machine.

Specs:
Athlon 64 FX-53
GeForce 7800 GTX (non-sli )
80GB 7200rpm WD IDE HDD
250GB 7200rpm SATA1 WD HDD
1GB Kingston ValueRam (nothing special)

To give you an idea of how it performs, I can run Luigi's Mansion up to the start screen at 1024x768 with ps 2.0, hal, 4x multisampling at an average of 40fps.

Can I be of any use testing?

[Blacklord]

Hehe i like the intel Xeon. I too wanna know how it'll work(i'm gonna get Xeon's brother this summer i think it was called Itanium?).

If the developers need more testers, they will ask for them. Also:

You can't ask to be a beta tester.

A quadro FX won't help as it's not made for gaming. The 7800GTX will do nicely.

It's not a huge issue, as long as you have a video card that supports all the needed features. In otherwords any fifth gen nvidia card or anything above a 9800 from ATI will run dolphin just as well. The bottle neck is entirely on the CPU right now. Most people can play at 1600x1200 or 320x240 at exactly the same speeds.
