Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

Native 1x and hope for the best, that processor won't run many PCSX2 games well.

What about with I5 4460 3.2Ghz quad core

What about with I5 4460 3.2Ghz quad core

i5 4460 is a 4th generation Haswell processor so it's significantly better compared to any other 10 year old Athlon FX processors, It should be able to handle most of the games at full speed with minimal speedhacks.

For further information related to performance classification of the processors, feel free to look at this benchmark of single thread performance : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

Hello, I run PCSX2 in my netbook? This is a unusual PC.

Core M 1.1GHz ( Turbo 2.4GHz ) this is a skylake "y", but i don't know model.
2x4GB DDR3 1866MHz
SSD
and Intel HD 515 1536MB VRAM.

OS is a Windows 10 Education.

it'll run.
most games will be unplayably slow, though

It shouldn't be that bad. His CPU has a STR of 1300. So it should be able to run less demanding games at 2x native.

What about rx 470 4GB gpu

Hello Everyone!
I have been trying desperately to get pcsx2 to run on my laptop but I have come to the conclusion that it will not. I am building a mid tier computer in the coming weeks and am wondering if PCSX will run well on it, I primarily play NCAA football games and I will play off the disc unless creating a iso for the game is better... Here are the specs
.
.
MOBO - ASRock B150M Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel B150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Video Card - GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 GV-N105TOC-4GD 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX 
RAM- CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory
Processor - Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache
with a 700 Watt Power supply...
.
Will PCSX2 run well on this machine? Please let me know! Also let me know about the benefits of playing off the disc vs. playing from an iso
.
THANK YOU!!

Yes, and ISOs will usually improve load times a bit.

Thats very interesting. Thank for for that information! One aditional question that my brothers and myself were debating about: would an SSD make the iso load even faster than an HDD, or wouldnt it matter in the world of ps2 emulation?

[FlatOut]

Yes, and ISOs will usually improve load times a bit.

Not really, most games have a locked loading time that won't benefit from a faster drive. But if you set the framelimiter to Max(and the emulation speed reaches well over 100%), the ISO will be more likely to load games faster because the disc drive can't always keep up with the loading.

Running from a disc drive actually struggles most during gameplay and you can sometimes notice the emulation stuttering for a moment.
