PCSX2 Emulator...

[derac]

Hello,

I run the PCSX2 1.4.0 emulator but it works very slowly.

The graphic and sound is jerky, but it must be because the PC that I use:
Dell Optiplex 780, here is the picture of the PC:
https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/ 812609Windows7.jpg

I also have a Dell Optiplex 755 that does the same.

I even tried it in 64 bits with the same problem of slowness.

However, if I buy another PC, an ATX i7 3.5GHZ tower with card ASUS B85M-E motherboard,
16GB of memory and an ASUS graphics card GEForce GT730 2G PCI-E
do the emulator Will work fine ?

Thanks.

yep on higher machine will run fine

Thank you for your reply.

On a French forum, some people say that this graphics card is not so good,
is this true?

simple :
emulating 3d need more video memory at least you need 4GB of video memory more is better
also graphic shaders, open gl 3.0 support more texture rendering, last thing card must have higher memory bus 64 bit card are for multimedia better 128 bit you need at least 200 and more memory bus
also higher frequency gamers overclock cpu and cards for more fps
2GB is to low to full emulation of 3D consoles like playstation or 3ds

Then the ASUS graphics card GEForce GT730 2G PCI-E is not correct,
i need to buy the same card but with 4G or higher ?

yes for full emulation (full speed and performance) then you will also can run rpcs3 at full speed
cemu will run like hell etc.. etc..
decent video card is key to good 3d emulation also will help you in future when new games comes out
best choice buy 8GB card

Hi,

Where I live in Montreal, there is a store that sells refurbished computers.
There are three computers that would interest me, if they are worth it, obviously :


https://www.staples.ca/fr/HP-PC-HP-6...5_2-CA_2_20001

https://www.staples.ca/fr/Dell-PC-de...5_2-CA_2_20001

https://www.staples.ca/fr/Dell-PC-de...9_2-CA_2_20001

Which, according to you, would be best and why ?
In addition, I would like to acquire a good graphics card (8G0), as discussed earlier.

There is a store in my area that sells a lot and the prices are between $ 600, $ 700 and $ 800.

If I acquire such a card, is it certain that it can be inserted in these computers?
PCI-Express?

Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

yes it can be inserted but buy nev video card than cpu your cpu is good only card is weak.
post me graphic card.
i7 is processor for future.
best choice HP aka Hewlett-Packard.
simple :
more outputs especially when you need usb.
higher frequency of cpu.(its important).
also catch for eye looks nice.
dvd-rw can be change to decent burner like : LG or BenQ.
shold have more space.
about lcd monitor so far best companies:
HP and NEC.
about dvd companies so far best tested by me was :
Sony and Verbatim DVD's but DVD+RW it will helps for 1000x write and read.
for cooling silver thermal grease is better than silicon.
about mouse and keybord if you are like playing but you not "pro" gamer.
buy active jet ps2 mouse and keybord or try genius company.
Windows of course but im recomend reinstall to 7 for gaming.
64 bit can adressing more than 32 bit windows.
so you can use all of memory 32 bits will use just half of that.

New window os Emulation tips

1) Most emulators are not actively being developed. Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8
2) Most emulator authors could careless about new windows.Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8
3) New windows Os's change policies and drivers, make the emulator have issues. Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8
4) Lots of emulators depend on old hardware. Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8
5) Emulators are now like most software, they are job hobby projects. They often times only work on the system they developed it on. Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8

Or we could just say one rule really.
Stick with Windows 7 if they do not work on 10/8

and more space on HDD/SSD like 500 GB or 1TB.
of course more HDD capacity than slower is hdd.
if you need only for gaming but not storage buy SSD.
ati cards are cheaper than gtx.
ati is better in directx than opengl.
if you use high machine like this i7:
best configuration is i7 and gtx.
ati willw ork well with amd.
best companies:
wd caviar (no green ! green is extremally slow), toshiba,Seagate .
also you can change pc box .
also better cooler so far best are :
scythe yasua,spartan,noctua,zalman,arctic cooling.
ram companies:
GoodRam,Kingston,Elixir,Hynix.
best companies for pc power supply:
Corsair,OCZ,SeaSonic,Tagan.
pc box doesent matter.
also motherboard you need just i7/i5/amd fx
8gb to 16 gb ram
and dddr3 which are faster than ddr2.
so latest configuration is:

thats my proposition.

Here are the graphics cards :

But, I do not know if it's true, on a Quebec forum someone says this :

To make clear, a computer store comes with a power supply very close to the minimum,
so impossible to add a graphics card without changing the power supply.

What comes almost more expensive than buying a clone at a good custom computer store.

A mounted computer comes back more expensive but allows you to upgrade it to some extent in the future.

[pix07]

good graphic card need more power so good power supply is important gamers use 700watt and higher.
dont buy yet check benchmark.
i post everything and you choose your favorite.
about pc power supply buy 700-800 watt.

here you go choose best .
solution if you dont know :
buy latest with extra features like overclock.
so if i was you i choose oc its overclocked version with extra fps.
but its your choice.
one more thing overclock make short lifespan of hadware so you will be need change card in future.
anyway thank you for post about computers i love them im nerd.
