Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[Linux-fag]

1 - which exact cpu model ?
2 - the one in my sig isn't bad as long as you aren't looking for a high upscaling (2x, sometimes 3x)
3 - Yes. what matters the most is still STR, though.

1. Broadwell 5200U (It was quite a decent chip when I got this machine.)
2. Thanks, so any sales rated better should do fine.
3. STR??? Sorry, my acronyms are a little rusty.

1. I was asking about the athlon you're planning to use
3.STR = Single Thread rating. we do recommend at least 1600. 1800 to 2000 for most intensive games.

STR of 2489-2501 w/OC'ed i7 @4.5GHz here.
Most games run in multithreaded mode in Software quite nicely with the occasional slowdown in very heavy scenes, that is in x1 Native resolution.

Still, I feel that PCSX2 is not quite there as Genesis and SNES emulation in terms of smoothness and bug-free operation.
The 'smoothness' stutter-free operation is what makes an emulator great vs just-okay.

1. X4950. It was quite new when I got the Desktop. Specs (sorta) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/7th-...lon-x4-950
(It supports all SSE up to 4).
3. Ah, yes, I was reading that 12GHz (in theory) would be more powerful than 6x2GHz because most code doesn't use multithreading to the maximum and there are so many circumstances where it doesn't matter because Thread A must wait for Thread B. I have a CS friend who explained it really well and I grasped it for quite a while afterwards. Then I woke up and wondered if it even happened.

That's going to take a long time. My limited understanding is we're recompiling two processors. So it's like super-overhead before we even think of rendering. I don't think PCSX2 or the plugins are the problem, I think hardware has to catch up. I owned an Intel Celeron 952Mhz workstation (yes, dumpster-diving, I was somewhat the scavenger in my youth). It was the best PC I'd owned thus far and a Yamaha soundcard made it pretty awesome. But alas, holy expletive did it struggle with almost every game. I think I got Diablo 1 and AOW 1 to work well. Then I discovered emulators and NES worked okay but PS just wouldn't run. Today I play PS games on my notebook.

CPU : Intel Xeon E5 1660 V2 @ 3.7GHZ , turbo upto 4GHZ (6 cores , 12 threads)
GPU : GTX 980 KingPin Ed.
Ram : 16GB
Almost a 2 grand processor and PCSX2 still has random stuttering in some games. What's the issue? I know normally Xeons have lower clock speed but this one is 4GHZ with 6 cores 12 threads, shouldn't really make an issue with emulation.
I guess maybe RPCS3 would perform better since it's x64 and uses all cores.

Which games ? Which settings ?
Better open your own support thread, BTW

you'll hit some fps drops. give a try

It'll be a bit weak for RG. REO will get some slowdowns too.
Give a try, but don't expect miracles.
