XS3 will thank you for it. (512MB cards do struggle a lot with this game.)
For 3x scaling and higher maybe, most of problems for me with my 9600gt 512MB were when using the anima awakening at 3x, but 2x wouldn't have much of a problem.

I recently upgraded from a 4350 to a 6850 and I'm still trying to get over it... definitely recommend a newer card if you got the budget

I am always more than 90 fps (between 90 and 300)at 1680x1050 with aax8 an i5 A 4.3 ghz oc (lucifer's call)
I guess that i7 must give the same result at 4 GHz

I run any game on pcsx2 full speed with my setup as well, you really need combination of both gpu and cpu, because both need to keep up with eachother, if cpu is too slow it you wont be able to use gpu to its full potential and the other way around.
I also want to say that crossfire (dual gpu) do work on pcsx2, i know that officially pcsx2 does not support crossfire or sli, but i monitored gpu load, temps and clocks for both cards while playing FF12 on pcsx2, and second gpu does scale, not as good as in pc games but it does work. Look at this image i took while running pcsx2 second gpu does scale just not as smooth its up and down a lot but it definitely works, if it scaled as smooth as main gpu it would work as well as in pc games, but its at least 50-70% effective.

what do you use to cool that cpu overclocked to 4.3ghz? air or water cooling, if air what cooler do you use, and is that your everyday use overclock?

yes noctua nh-d14 is very good air cooler ive heard of it, you should do prime 95 for 5 hours, ive seen overclocks being stable for 2-3 hours of stress testing but than fail, if you do 4-5 hours of prime 95 chances are youre 100% stable, ive seen people do 24 hour stress test on prime 95 but its unnecessary, 5 hour is enough to tell you if overclock is completely stable, 1 hour test is not nearly enough thou.

1 hour for me it just my cpu is never as much stress I've played 10 hours of sharpening no problem, but I is not in France only one hour
my cpu is sanding (; my case and made sure to have the best possible flow
it is already losing more than 7 °
I would change for good water later cpu +gpu
to try to climb to 4.5 ghz below 1.48
this is not the official version sorry
if it helps why not
