Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[jesalvein]

I gave up on buy a laptop (GS70 stealth Pro), since there's none with enough power and thin, I rather wait till next year for a new laptop.

Meanwhile with almost half of laptop's price I'm thinking of buy a desktop, here's the specs:

Intel Core I7-4790K 4.0-4.4GHz
16GB 1600MHz
SLI GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 256Bits
HD 1000GB Sata III + SSD 120GB Sata III

Wise choice

But make sure to disable the SLI for PCSX2!

that will be better since you'll benefit from the MTVU hack.
what is your GPU ?

[tito10599]

AMD Ati Radeon 4870 512MB GDDR5

AMD Ati Radeon 4870 512MB GDDR5

should be ok for native resolution, maybe x2

PCSX2 don't recognizes SLI?

Which bugs can happen?

Is a single GTX 760 strong enough to max res, AA, and settings?

[Nobbs66]

Yeah, a single 760 is plenty for pcsx2.

If you do use SLI, it can cause some major slowdowns.

I just tried PCSX2 on my Chromebook Pixel with Ubuntu 12.04 installed using crouton. It has a Intel Core i5-3427U CPU @ 1.80GHz and 4Gb of RAM. GT4 is more or less smooth in the menus but the gameplay gets only around 20fps, so it is not quite playable. I guess that one of the issues is the use of Linux whose graphics drivers are not very performance optimized. I'm planning to buy a desktop with a Core i5 3330 but I won't use any discrete graphics. Will this be playable under Linux?

The problem with the chromebook is the ultrabook processor(denoted by U after the model number), they just can't handle PCSX2. The 3330 should do okay for most games, but I don't know about GT4.
