Hi m8s
I'm about to buy a new computer - probably a laptop - and I'd like to be able to run PCSX2 (especially TotA) on it... I know it's tough stuff on most notebook but I'm not going for something too cheap so I have good hope that it might be worth giving a try.
Anyway to those who managed to make it run comfortably, what kind of hardware are you using and what is recommended in your opinion for Abyss using the last pcsx2 and appropriated plugins ?
My laptop would have 4GB DDR3, a mobile Radeon Hd5650, and a i5-540M (Hyperthreading, SSE 4.1, 2,53/3,06ghz, but shouldn't be able to run at more than 2,8ghz in 2-core mode without OC). I might go for a i7-620M which is clocked a bit higher but it's likely to be a bit expensive for the extra-performance AND its power consumption seems to be broken although it's supposed to have the same TDP.
According to some reviews the 540M outperforms T9800 about everywhere and in some benchmarks even T9900... I've read testimonies of people who got many games running fine with that kind of setup but I've done some researches and still have absolutely no idea about how much Abyss demands to get it running smoothly.
Any idea ? And btw do I need a more powerful GPU (it should be on par with the nvidia GT250M, although I heard PCSX2 likes nvidia better than ATI) ? Thanks in advance.
