Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[2009vergil]

1. Depends on the game, but generally the CPU is going to limit more games then the GPU part, so lower settings might not get as many games running better then you might think.

2.  More cores generally are far less important then how much an individual core can do.  So a fast quad core is far better then a slower per core 96 core CPU for emulation.  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html  look for a CPU above 2000 to have more demanding games work better.

Hi. Thanks for your answer. I purchased this Laptop:

Asus X411U 14 inches.
8GB Ram.
GeForce MX 130 (2 GB)
Intel Core i5 8250U, 1.6 GHz.

I needed it not only to video games, also to others jobs. It was perfect between my needs and budget.
I saw www.cpubenchmark.net and this was the result: Single Thread Rating: 1939. I know that some game will not work well. But, stil, what is your opinion?

Later, I will install the emulator and taste some games. I will come to comment how was that.

Thanks for your help.

The U series and especially the 8th gen series ones are sensitive to thermal throttling and power limits. Normally I would recommend one of the H series chipsets (8300h) as a more reliable way to emulate on a laptop. Or I would at least recommend getting a non ultrabook since they tend to have worse cooling and power management systems for more money then traditionally larger laptop form factors.

Hello I need some help here. I am experiencing huge speed issues and frame drops like never before. I formatted my pc last week and since then I could not play any game normally. I am using PCSX2 1.4.0

I have tried many solutions and changed setting but nothing seems to fix my problem.

Make sure your drivers are up to date and get the latest dev build for here: [/url]https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/

Hello may I know if I can emulate well with these specs
Cpu: Ryzen 7 3700u
GPU: vega 10
Ram: 8gb

What games are you looking to play? That CPU will give you problems as the STP is well below 1500. The GPU isn't really good either.

Thank you so much. It seems my pc was hit with virus. I downloaded the latest version and every game I download seems to be working perfectly.

That ryzen 3700 is no doubt faster then my old Phenom II, so he could easily play some games.

Thank you both for the reply. Would like to try playing dragon quest vii and super robot wars.

Passmark is showing it over 1600 now..


Give it a go.  My 2500 shows a mid 1500's stp in passmark, but if I put the laptop in performance mode and plug it in.. I get scores over 1800 pretty consistently.  Good enough to play quite a few games (and my vega 8 handles kh2 at 3x internal resolution.. I also have it running at 720p window'd mode.. so that probably has a bit to do with it).  Good enough to enjoy the games.  It's not perfect ideal, but it'll do quite nicely...

I play on my hp envy x360 with a ryzen 5 2500u, 16gb ddr4 ram, 256gb nvme, 480gb ssd (where I'm reading the game from), vega 8 graphics.  The laptop suggested will do fine for some games at least.
