Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here***

[Salad Snake]

Thanks for the quick answer guys and gals, that helped allay my fears. I know I need some more RAM, just got to get off my seat and order it already.

Hey guys i wanted to ask aswell how do you think it would run on my rig:
GTX 560ti
Q8300 quad core 2,5ghz.
4 gig ram
My power supply is exactly 500W and it's the very minimum for a GTX560 ti and i think this might be causing some performance issues i have with bf3 for example.
I am seriosly considering to changing it to 700W,but i wanted to see how ps2 would run on it first.

You should be ok for PS2 med settings 1080p, your CPU might be a little weak.


500W should be fine for your rig if it is a high quality PSU.

If it is a 'cheap' PSU that has had a long hard life it may not give you anything like 500W now.

If you have always had issues with your graphics card make sure it is on its own power rail if you have multiple power rails on your PSU. (I doubt it but worth eliminating)

On the other note you Graphics card should be plenty but that Processor is about 5 years old, i would just wait till some info comes out before making a decision but i would not be surprised if a new processor is in order.

I know that i would need a lot more thatn just a CPU. I have planed on taking a new MB (cant find the link anymore) and around 4gb DDR3. Not sure if i should even take 8GB, sounds too much at the moment.

what about this.

Not a particularly good buy. If we're talking no other options but to buy something premade:
The only AMD CPU worth buying in a gaming PC is that FX-4100 ($50 cheaper than that 6-core), but it still gets beat by an Intel i3 2120.
That graphics card is pretty low on the totem pole. Have a look here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ew,3107-7.html
as far as ibuypower: Use that $50 to upgrade to the AMD 6870.

Best option? Put together a computer yourself.

I honestly wish I could stop using beta drivers from 2011 for my 9800gt...but all the 2012 drivers so far have been garbage for me.


At least my new Phenom II X4 945 is on the way this week...

I ordered my new PC on Satuday. 3570K + GTX 560 Ti (the 384 version).

In two minds if my gfx card is decent enough or not, but really I've spent 200 more on the computer than I was supposed to already.

I can confirm an OC'd 560ti runs the current build of the game perfectly smoothly. It is definitely sufficient.

Thanks!

As long as I have more than 20 FPS I should be OK. That's what I'm used to. 30-40-50 would be quite orgasmic.
