Hi, everyone! I'm planning on doing a major hardware upgrade for my PC in the near future. However, I need to know what CPU would be the best for using software rendering mode in pcsx2. I'm currently planning on getting an Intel Core-i9 11900K(has a single-thread passmark score of 3,493 on cpubenchmark.net). Would that be enough to play games in software rendering mode at full speed at 60fps(i.e. Sega Ages vol.31 Cybertroopers Virtual-On [SLPM-62767])? Or would I need another kind of CPU? My current PC specs are in my signature below. Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-Core Processor @3.7 GHz (Passmark Score:2,439)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
RAM: Corsair LPX 64GB (4x16) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 DRAM
GPU: MSI Gaming Radeon RX 580 ARMOR MK2 8G OC Graphics Card (Passmark Score: 8,749)
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
