Hey guys! I'm new here.
I'm upgrading a Sempron 3200+ to an Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0 Ghz next week.
So my PC will be like this:
Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0Ghz
1.5 GB DDR2 667
256 MB 8400GS 64-bit 459CORE/333MEM/918SHADER OC'ed to 567/404/1134
Now my question is:
Will I run FFX and FFXII in this setup at a playable speed around 50+FPS?
Yea I know my gfx card sucks but I can't upgrade it until June and I heard that PCSX2 is more CPU dependent. Thanks in advance!
Athlon X2 5400+ ~ 2.8GHz / 2.5GB DDR2 667 / 9500GT 512MB / Windows 7

that GS class is still weak in bandwidth even you OC it better switch to GT as a 128-bit bandwidth or above to be fair enough in addition to GDDR3

best to use Native in GSdx detting as torrent advise you do so.

Thanks for the responses and the tips guys! I really appreciate it.

What do you guys mean running at native?

Running at the resolution the PS2 uses? Sorry I'm new to this.
Btw, I don't mind having the graphics turned down or so. I just want it to be at playable FPS.
Another question:
Is 30FPS in PCSX2 slow motion?

Slow is relative... It's half speed
.
A 8600 GT DDR3 can be had for ~$40 if you look hard enough... no need to go for another 8400. Or a 9600 GT for $80 (very fast even for newest PC games, at lower resolutions like 1280x1024).
Thanks. I'm actually eyeing for a 9600 GT.

It's around $100 here in my country.
