..:: PCSX2 Forums ::..

I was looking at my plugins list the other day and I noticed I only have the SSE2 version of the GSDX plugin. I remember on windows that there were many more (SSE3, SSE4, AVX, AVX2) and I was curious if there were equivalents of these for the Linux version. I searched around with no results.

P.s. I also thought I should add that I installed PCSX2 1.4.0 via the PPA

The standard build system isn't designed to build all possible configuration of GSdx. You have 3 possibilities
* Provide patch to improve GSdx build (with an option to enable/disable this behavior)
* Binaries on the official website contains SSE4 and AVX2 GSdx (just get the plugin). However it might not be compatible with your distribution
* Self Compiled version will use it directly the best instruction set possible (everywhere PCSX2 code + plugins too).

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
