Can I run PCSX2 without a GPU?

[WKYK56]

Hello,

this are my specs:


OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel i5-11600
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Intel UHD 750

I read the system requirements in the FAQs and the GPU minimum spec are quite high (PassMark rating around 3000)

As you can see I haven't a discrete GPU (waiting for fair prices) and I was wondering if the GPU requirements are for upscaled games

Can I run PCSX2 at native resolution and full speed with my system?

Thank you

Many...
It makes a big difference from game to game?

Thank you for your reply

Some can be GPU taxing.
Software mode will run fine on this rig, if those aren't too demanding. That's why I was asking

OK, I understand

I have found this on the wiki:

Apart from these am I OK?

And from this list can I play Devil May Cry 3, Dragon Quest VIII, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Shadow of the Colossus?

Thank you again for your time

MGS2 and SotC may struggle a bit. apart from that, you should be good in software mode
