Hi all
I was wondering if it's possible to play at full frame with my current system. Meaning PAL games at 50fps and NTCS games at 60fps
I know there is still the issue of games that are not fully compatible yet
but overall the games that are working 100% on the list will they be playable at full speed ?
current system is :
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 @ 3.2ghz
GFX: 2x Radeon HD 4870x2 (crossfire setup )
RAMS : KHX12800D3/2G x4 = 8GB RAM
MAINBOARD:GA-X38T-DQ6
I have a fairly possible machine and I know I can play those games but what I don't know if it's a 100% meaning full fps and good emulated sound
Grtz

Of course you'll have full speed,on games that you don't have full speed is just pcsx2 fault not emulating the game correctly or maybe your video card because pcsx2 is working better with nvidia but I doubt it.

No disadvantage, it just won't be used,same as having a single graphics card for PCSX2.

For croosfire gpu to use with pcsx2 emulation program, please search ATI_CF_extension program (from xtremesystems forum) in this forum thread. That program will force programs/games to support with croosfire.

The 4870x2 doesn't use crossfire
Two 4870 1GB's crossfired ironically gives better performance than a 4870x2, but only slightly.

In general, your CPU is going to bottleneck your two 4870x2's, to get full performance out of them, you'd need a quadcore. But that's in general gaming.
Make sure your graphics cards are running at 16x both, use GPU-Z, as I know some crossfire chipsets will turn both lane's into 8x, (Like my 790GX), making crossfire on dual GPU's inpractical.

He already had quadcore cpu Qx9770 so his gpux2 doesnt bottleneck with his cpu.

Sorry, I was hung over, thought it was the core 2 duo extreme, unless it is?
