Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here*** - Page 3

I've always wanted to be a part of Folding@home, and it'll be great to help out the PSU team. This is truly awesome work anyone with a gaming PC can do when they're not using it.

Ah yes, if there's no work it will sit idle. One of my computers does that from time to time.

Also I assume your using one worker slot for each gpu?

Oh yea, even a few hours of folding a day can make a difference.

Yeah, I have 3 slots (2 GPUs and 1 quadcore), but the older HD 4350 is sitting on standby because they don't have any work for it right now, so only 2 slots are active. Still, I'm gonna be letting it run 24/7, so I'll be posting that rig's scores soon.

Roger that. Should get decent PPD with that setup.

I'll keep an eye on the Team Stat page, you should show up once it updates (provided a work-unit is completed).

Ah, I got Folding@Home on my PS3 - I'll see if I can join in the fun through there as well =)

Boom! Done and done, now to sit and watch my PS3 fry itself, and watch my electricity bill skyrocket =D

Welcome aboard! Curious to see how well it works PPD wise.

I'm not the most tech-savvy guy out there, nor am I made of money, so I'm even afraid to ask what my verdict is with this laptop:

i5 480M 2.67 GHz
GeForce GT 540M
8G RAM

I'm just hoping that I will be able to run the game with the lowest possible settings available.

Edit: I remember that someone compared PS2 to Crysis or whatnot, so I found a vid that uses the same specs as I have.

Good to see the 560 ti is only a few levels down from the top. I should have a nice looking experience by the looks of it. My tv is only capable of 1080p so I can't run it at the max res but hopefully I can run mostly everything else at high settings.

I'm confident that your laptop will run PS2 with decent settings in qVGA.

PvtHazard · 2012-06-15, 10:12 PM

I have a PC with specs like this

FX-4100 3.6GHz
8GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB

Will this run PS2 at least on medium settings?

Goku · 2012-06-15, 10:54 PM

Due to the weaker CPU and low range GPU I would say low settings, maybe some medium in there if you are lucky.

Just installed this thing and joined the team, i think. I'm getting around 5500 ppd, dunno if that's good. That's running on my old Sapphire 6790.

Welcome aboard! That's pretty good I think for a 6790.

This thread is only for seeing if your computer can potentially run PS2 and possible upgrades. If you want full out advise on new parts, please don't clutter this thread with that. Make your own.
