Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[ilovejedd]

Intel Pentium D 2.80ghz (I know it sucks.Thinking about Core 2 Duo/(maybe)Quad)
Ati Radeon HD 4650 1gb
2gb DDR2 ram

I need a new mobo,more ram and new processor.

Does your motherboard support Wolfdale processors? If so a cheap stopgap would be a Pentium E5x00 if overclocking. If the mobo doesn't support oc'ing or you just don't want to, a Pentium E6700 3.2 GHz also works.

If you don't want to spend any money, then lower the settings, I guess.

I just read the post above but the question wasnt really answerd.

My PC : Windows xp sp3 pentium 4 cpu 3.00GHZ 2.99GHZ with 2.00Gb ram I use a Nividia Gforce FX 5200
Graphics Core:256-bit
Memory Interface: 128-bit.
Memory Bandwidth:6.4 GB/sec.
Fill Rate:1.1 billion texels/sec.
Vertices/sec.:68 million
Pixels per Clock (peak):4
Textures per Pixel:*16
RAMDACs:350 MHz
with 256mb Ram

The great question is how well will pcsx2 v9.7. run on my pc?
I got the emulator to work but when I run my only iso ( sly cooper 2 ) the emulater gets really laggy then stops after the credits roll and I begin to enter game mode. I'm able to watch the game load and select a memerycard just fine and I'm even able to watch the openning credits. Just a liitle tid bit I don't know if it helps but I can run a ps1 emulator just fine.

So is this a iso problem or is my cpu ancent pos?

Your PC will not run any ps2 game at full speed (maybe some 2D games) That CPU is really slow and your GPU isn't much better... Sorry =/

And I thing every PC can run ps1 emulators... (except my laptop that lags everywhere...)

Hi,

I'm about to buy a new notebook and wanted to ask you guys whether you think this hardware would be fast enough to run my PS2-collection well with PCSX2:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 2x2,1 Ghz
RAM: 4GIG DDR3
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 210M 512MB
Pipelines 16 - unified
Core Speed * 625 MHz
Shader Speed * 1500 MHz
Memory Speed * 800 MHz
Memory Bus Width 64 Bit
DirectX DirectX 10.1, Shader 4.1
Features DirectX Compute Support (Windows 7), CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL 2.1, HybridPower


Good enough to run most games fluidly or "barely good enough"?

My motherboard supports only E4xxx processors.But I managed to run Tekken 5 on 40 fps and that's pretty impressive for my processor.

Try to use speedhacks if it doesn't run too well without them.Games should run 40fps and more on your processor (btw we posted at same time lol)

Barely enough, notebook is a poor choice to play pcsx2 with, try to find one with at least Intel Core 2/i @ 3GHz.

Thank you much for your help.

Can this ancient run pcsx2? Thanks!

The preformance of a 450M and a 520M is the same with PCSX2. The 520M will only "Turbo Boost" to a higher clock rate as a single core. PCSX2 runs on two cores (threads).

Not realy.

The 520M can turbo bost to 2.66 Ghz with 2 cores while the maximum 2.9 can only be reached with a single core.

And the 450M can boost to 2.66Ghz with 2 cores, while the maximum is still 2.66Ghz with 1 core. Again, PCSX2 runs on two cores.

One other thing, I wouldn't think single core processing is very applicable in modern, or especially future PC games, either. IMO, you shouldn't judge a CPU by it's max boost, if gaming is the intention.

humm... it's good to know that.
I really never saw the full specs for the 450M and assumed it could not turboboost with dual core to the same clock speed as the 520M.

I guess i won´t be able to use PCSX2 just now

Still, I just can't make up my mind about what to by

A LG r590 (core i5 520M + GT 335M) (Now i know it's no good for PCXS2)

or

Toshiba Quosmios (core i5 430M, GTX 360M): Much better graphics card, but it's too damn big: 18"

[iakoboss7]

can it run?: yes
will you get full speed in games?: 99% no on most of them
