Fanatic 64
Guest
I'm going to get a new laptop (model chosen), because reasons. I've already checked reviews and benchmarks, and it's good for what I need, specially for the price. However, I was wondering how good would it work for N64 emulation. Say, would I be able to run Perfect Dark, with Counter Factor 1, Anisotropic Filtering, and with Jabo's framebuffer emulation, at full speed? My current PC can almost do it, but it slows down on occasions, with GFX: 100% in Project64. I was wondering, what does it take to emulate the framebuffer at full speed? Does it primarily rely on the CPU? The GPU? Or something else?
Here's the new computer's specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5 4210U
Graphics Chip: Nvidia GeForce 840M (2GB DDR3 VRAM)
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Hard Disk: SATA 750GB 5400RPM
And all the other essential things.
For reference, it can run Battlefield 4 at 1366x768 on High at ~30FPS.
By comparison, my current PC has a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, but only a ****** Intel HD Graphics 3000. Do you thing the new PC will be able to use all the N64 emulator fancies (excluding crazy software rendering plugins, and Rice/Glide horrible framebuffer)? It has OpenGL 4.4, so at least it'll be able to run GLideN64.
Please abstain from PC gaming-related recommendations, I'm only interested in the N64 emulation part (I already know the laptop's gaming capabilities).
Thank you for your answers.
