and having 4 cores wont do a thing PCSX2 will use only 2
I haven't seen most games beyond 120-150 FPS on most peoples rigs, it depends on the game though. Some games are pretty fast, like 2D games or Final Fantasy. Some games are pretty slow, like Gran Turismo 4.
Only 2 cores though? I know some software that supports virtually unlimited threads (like swiftshader) but optimizing software for multithreading like that must be difficult, so it's understandable.
Will we see any optimizations on the recompilers and core of PCSX2 that will increase execution speed any more than 5%-10%?
PCSX2 isn't as resource intensive as I thought it to be. Before I had the misconception that I absolutely had to have a Core 2 Duo before any games would be playable, because with older versions of PCSX2 I was sometimes only getting like 5-10 FPS, and 40 at best.
So to be honest, I'm surprised I'm even posting in this forum with something besides the urgent need for help to configure this emulator. xD
