Hi there! I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section since it's quite miscellaneous in nature, but I hope I'm being accurate enough.
My rig is as follows:
i5 2500k @4.5 GHz (w/ a decent custom cooler),
Radeon HD 6850 (ASUS version, slightly oc'd),
8 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM,
Windows 7 x64,
and the rest I guess is irrelevant.
It's been enough to run games on PCSX2 (3 - Balanced preset) on 1920x1080 (Full HD) resolution, while recording it with Fraps, all this at a 99.9 % solid FPS of 60.
With that out of the way, I'll say I've already emulated games for quite some time (without knowing all that much of the mechanics), and I've been very happy with it so far. Details are very crisp (especially for PS2 games) and so on.
This just leaves me wondering if there are any custom shaders and/or anti-aliasing settings/extensions for PCSX2 that would further improve the graphics, since I think my computer still has extra power left for such finesse. I'm already using a custom shader on my PSX (PS1) emulator with satisfying results, so I wondered if there was anything similar for PCSX2. Something to soften the sharp edges (anti-aliasing, multisampling or whatever it is that you call it), or otherwise add a nice touch to graphics (some kind of custom shader that you guys think is nicer than whatever Gsdx has inbuilt).
Tl;dr: I have a good computer and I'm wondering if there are any extra tweaks, plugin extensions or whatever (such as custom shaders and/or anti-aliasing) that would further enhance graphics over the as-is level of PCSX2. I'm far from an emulation/programming geek so layman's terms would be appreciated.
