will pcsx2 be available for directx 12 graphics card
#1
my computer has a r9 380 4gb graphics card in it and whenever i play on directx 11 hardware it doesnt run right and its very slow. i tried to run this computer i have now with windows 8.1 and directx 11 and games were choppy and messed up. will there be a directx 12 on this program anytime soon ? oh ya im running windows 10 home 64bit with 16 gbs of ram and a cpu of amd radeon AMD FX-8320. the dolphin for gamecube emulator has directx 12 but not this one btw.

It's not a lack of DX12 support that's causing your problems. It's your processor, with a single thread rating of 1398. That's to low to run most games with this emulator. You want a STR of at least 1600 for simple games. More than 2000 for the more demanding games

Single Thread Rating...basically how fast each thread of your CPU can run. You can check out how well different processors rank here

Some emulators offload more of the emulation of the graphics to the GPU, the PS2..... is a little "special" and that would not really help as much as it does with Dolphin and the Gamecube. So currently (and possibly for the foreseeable future) PCSX2 requires very fast single threaded performance.

There are emulators that use opengl instead of dx12 and are fast like cemu or rpcs3 dx12 is no requirement fo fast processing. Even dolphin removed dx12 in favour vulkan

bro, you dont need a cpu with single thread rating off 1600 or anything close to that to fully emulate most games at 60fps
i run emulation at 4k or sometimes 4x resolution and i run the games fine most the time
if u are doing hardware emulation then its cool
if u are doing software emulation then thats a different story
my cpu is around 900 i think (phenom 2 955 overclocked to 4ghz) but a phenom 980 (3.7ghz) is around 1200 and my pc is FIIINE
