then people could look up the scores that games require to reach a certain fps level. joe's p4 + gma could get a score of 27/12, but ffx is in the official list as requiring 66/50. or something.
but given the number of people who post on this forum without seemingly reading or knowing anything whatsoever about pcsx2, i doubt even something like that would prevent people posting the same sys-reqs questions 28 times a day.

Lol yeah more work for the devs,maybe release PCSXMARK2
Seriously,it is the same case with any emulator,i can't see why pcsx2 is any different and in need of so many guides/guidelines/benchmarks/points/whatever.
It is simple,people who will bother search around abit will get all the info they need,while people who just go 'LOL HIHIHI WTF NO WORKY FAST BEEN WHY?? HEPL ME PLZZZ N00B!!" won't get it.It's sad,but most people belong in the second category! Nevertheless,good job dashboardy this one along with maybe RPGWizard's threads comparing different hardware could help even more.
