All Ratchet and Clank games.
For
the Ratchet games, i don't really think it's so much that
they're so
demanding to run as it is that
they have some sort of issue achieving
the right timing or something. You can actually get
them to play al
most fullspeed (and sometimes MORE than fullspeed) when you turn
the framelimit off. Even my computer with its crappy GPU can get near or greater than fullspeed by that method. So
there's something more at work
there. It stands to reason
there's some kind of emulation glitch
there and not that
the game is that
demanding. And
the music always seems to work about fullspeed too, even when
the action isn't. Weird stuff, i guess
these games just need a bit more work and
they might just play pretty well on less than extreme PC's.
The PS2 port of Size Matters runs great though, but it looks a lot worse than
the o
thers since it was a b
are bones PS2 port. Maybe that's why it runs so well. Must be running on a fairly different engine. I can get fullspeed with very few graphical glitches al
most all
the time. But it beats me what
the issue with
the o
ther ones is at
the moment...
I've been able to get
most of
the games i've tested working pretty well on my PC. But Dragon Quest VIII, Rayman 2 Revolution, and Jak 2 seem to have some speed issues at times. I would assume
they may be GPU-intensive because i've seen o
ther people run
them on similar or lesser CPU's than my own. But
they had better GPU's. Offtopic kind of, but i think i'll try to get mine upgraded to something like a Radeon 5670 or something (or anything i can put in a cheap Dell PSU without changing that). Maybe that would remove part of my bottleneck.
