Games like skyrim taxes your graphic card but for emulator, all the works are being done by your CPU. I have a decent graphic card so I can run skyrim also but my DS emulator lags because my CPU is crap..
What?
Do you even know what you're talking about? While you are somewhat correct that emulators need a good processor, but saying processor is the only important thing is just wrong.
1) - You don't need a good processor to play every game on a emulator. It all depends on how what the game demands from the emulator. The ArTonelico, Aterlier, Disgaea games, and other 2D games like Phantom Brave can run any computer made in the last 5 years, and no matter what way you look at it graphics cards are essential. You still need a strong graphics card to run emulators especially if want to upscale them and/or use AF.
2) - This goes PC games as well. Games like the Total War, Civilization, Arma, and StarCraft games where enemy AI is dynamic and the map are huge with physics
are processor intenseive. You said you can run Skyrim, Skyrim isn't even a graphics intensive game. I'm running the game on a 8 year old 512MB (Tesla based) graphics card at 1080p on almost max settings.

Tried running it.
Basically the game speed slowed down. Not so much lag, as literally running at a slower speed.
My computer can't run Xenoblade at 1080p and can't even handle anything beyond 2X resolution DeSuME X432R.
Can't wait for that GPU upgrade by the end of the month, 2GB is going to be such an amazing upgrade from 512MB. ; o ; Might even get a 4GB card
What are your specs by the way
