There is no upscaling in software. Not only would it murder your CPU, it would ruin the improved accuracy that SW has over HW.

Software mode isn't a good idea to use. It seriously degrades your CPU and reduces its lifetime. Also, you won't get stable speed with it. If you could, try getting a better GPU.

At least if the CPU doesn't have a good multi-thread performance. Of course, I was talking about games that's are very demanding. But what happened to me is that I have a desktop with specs similar to yours and I was playing Gran Turismo (both 3 and 4) and also ATV Offroad Fury 2. I get pretty good speed in most of the games, but when it comes to graphically intense areas like night races, I get horrendous frames and this was for Gran Turismo. For ATV Offroad Fury, I never managed to get at least 45 fps. At one point, my desktop itself started to feel really slow to me. The CPU was pretty old though (i5-3330).

That would mean that every time you try to convert a video or archive something or basically do anything cpu intensive(including pc games)you are killing your cpu.
There are PS2 games that are cpu intensive even in HW mode so you are killing your cpu too by playing them.


Look at what unstable speed I have(considering I am limiting my cpu clock to 2.5ghz rather than 3.2\3.5)

That is also true, but I had Turbo Boost enabled. From your CPU, it can go up to 3.5 GHz, but you had it off and can go up to 2.6 GHz. For my CPU, its base clock speed is 3.0 GHz, and with Turbo Boost, can go up to 3.2 GHz, and I don't have overclocking abilities. It's true I manage archives constantly, move files around, play games including PCSX2 and reinstalling or upgrading Windows often and those activities also slowed down my desktop. This desktop was meant for simple usage or at most, certain games that don't require as much resource and I was using the emulator for very demanding games.

those activities you describe are more RAM demanding.
but seriously, "dergade cpu and reduce its lifetime" ???Blink.

I'm missing one key info: I also used my desktop for like seven to ten hours straight daily and especially in weekends and in most of my days until I got my gaming laptop, I've played Gran Turismo 4 and Tourist Trophy the most in those hours daily and I'm talking about for two years at least.

OK? I still don't know where you're getting the theory of "hardware degradation" from. It simply isn't true...

Unless you are putting more power or heat then the CPU can handle and have removed the safeguards, you shouldn't degrade a CPU. Modern CPUs can handle some pretty high heat for extended periods of time, but consult the manufacturer specs if you want to know the thermal limits for your specific chip.
