Game that requires a lot of CPU power to emulate

Thanks for the suggestions, all. I'll try some of those out. Thanks!

By the way tell us your final Core i 7 specs and also your video card we are courious to see if those games are going to work fine in your system.

I wouldn't call these final specs, because I don't have my custom cooler installed yet so I haven't really pushed the envelope in overclocking.

Right now I have:

A Core i7 920 clocked @ 3.2 GHz and set to 1.3v vCore. This is the highest stable clock I can achieve at that voltage and that is the highest voltage that doesn't generate > 75 C temps under full load (Prime 95) with the stock cooler.

6 GB of DDR3 1333 RAM running @ 640 MHz.

A Radeon 4870 512MB @ 800 Core/950 Memory

I'll post results when I get a chance to test some of these games and if there are any that the above config can't handle I'll re-visit when I reach my final overclock.

T5 runs at 25-30fps on a 2.2 with no speedhacks and 8600gt (not that demanding anymore)

thats less than half of full speed ;p

so based on that i'm guessing it'd need a ~4ghz c2d to run at full speed w/o hacks.
any game that needs that high of a requirement to run full speed is pretty demanding if you ask me...

and just how many ppl use no hacks? 1.5ee and 2x iop and I'm up i the 50s range, throw in VU steal lvl 1 and I'm full speed. god of war runs 60 with just iop and ee1.5 so psx has been improving quite nicely over the past few months. I need to steal my brother's Smackdown vs Raw (we live in the same house, he's just touchy about his games) and see how that does on my PC, on my 8400 it got 3 fps lol

please do,
i'm thinking of either getting an i7 CPU or a Qxxxx, so i want to see how the i7 performs with pcsx2 Biggrin

drop your voltage back to 1.25 (stock) and try and raise your speed to 3.6GHz, temps arent the problem high voltages are. i didnt raise voltage until i went past 3.6. if you cant get stable results at that speed/voltage then your cpu is just a little limited in comparison to mine. thats why some people care a lot about batch numbers etc, since they can differ.

edit: max temps that you can reach are 100 C so dont be too worried about sitting in that 70-80 range even if on stock cooling. nothing really ever puts your cpu at 100% load anyways, except for prime95 and things similar to it.

as far as performance on pcsx2, ive had only one issue with a game not playing right, Gundam Battle Assault 3. but with vu cycle steal that changed everything. that was a result of the hack tho, i dont think the game is inherintly demanding.

More popular titles like KH2 have zero slowdowns even during Munny drops (software or hardware) with software at full speeds using only 3 threads (tested @ 3.6).

ive posted my emu config before on a dif thread, so ill just say i run everything (but GBA3) with no speedhacks and 1920x1080 internal through all of this.

Hahaha you said it! Gundam Battle Assault 3 is such a pain to run in full speed in Versus Mode and Battle Mode. What i920 batch do you use to get that magical 4.0Ghz and which cooler?

He meant batch like C0 or D0??

>> Emulation speed differs for each game. There will be some you can run fast easily, but others will simply require more powerfull hardware <<.

thats not the batch number at all. its the revision, but it is C0/C1
