smooth

KillswitchX · May 7th, 2008, 01:36

Hi, im new to PS2 emulation and i was wondering, i have three computers, can any of them run the emulator smoothly?

First Comp:
AMD Athlon Dual Core 2.5ghz
video=nvidia 8800GT
ram=2gb

Second Comp:
AMD Athlon dual core 2.8ghz
video=nvidia 7600GT
ram=2gb

Third Comp:
AMD Sempron 1.6ghz
video=nvidia 8800GT
ram=2gb

i also have an HP pavilion laptop with intel core2duo 2.1ghz, 3gb ram, and 8400M GS video card

All are pretty weak man...

I mean, DC is a start, but AMD's are pretty weak, and graphics card is good though, RAM is enough, but your laptops GFX card is to weak, even if it has a good processor.

Overall, 2D games sure, some minor 3D games will play ,but not always full speed, can only wish you the best.

is the 7600GT good enough? and which is the cheapest CPU i should get to be able to play at full frames

Mkilbride2588 · May 7th, 2008, 02:17

Full frames in every game that is properly emulated? Try a E8400, they are decently priced and OC to 4.)GHZ. You'll get great speeds in the games that work.

Read the FAQs for more details.

There's no CPU out there can allow you to play everything at full speed.
The recommendations and everything are in the FAQs in the stickies section.

you have too many computers killswitch.

tuanming · May 7th, 2008, 08:44

You should put your 8800 gpu in the 2.8Ghz cpu... For AMD 2.8Ghz should give you playable speed for FFXII, that only if you pair it with an 8800GT.

You can never have too many

Development machine (stock E6850, no video card)
Gaming machine (E6850 OC'ed to 3.4, 8800 GTS)
Laptop #1 (Work laptop, no personal stuff)
Laptop #2 (light gaming)
Media server/DVR
Linux box acting as router/firewall
Super-old DOS machine for retro gaming, complete with 5-1/2" floppy drive.

Not to mention the countless microcontrollers and associated hardware on my workbench.

KillswitchX · May 8th, 2008, 16:00

hehe i dont think i know you unless you played Sword of the New World (online rpg), hmk so i'll try to get an e8400 and i'll throw the 8800GT onto it, hopefully i can play something nicely

thanks!

NexXxus · May 8th, 2008, 16:58

tuanming is right, put the 8800gt of your third comp into your second comp, and the 7600gt into the third comp.
and then the second one should be the best one for pcsx2.

that would be the best option

FFX, FFXII and Kingdom Hearts is fully playable with that.
