This isn't meant to be a thorough guide, but just a few good ideas that might help. There are a handful of questions we can address that might help you get better speeds. If you've made it this far, then it's likely you've determined your CPU is up to the task or that you want to try to eke out a bit more speed. If you've overclocked your CPU, you can measure your single-thread rating (and other metrics) using PassMark's Performance Test. If we start getting down to a single-thread rating of 1600 or below (somewhere around an AMD FX-8370 or an i5-2550K), it might still be possible to improve your performance, but this is anyone's guess, and it definitely shouldn't be an expectation going in. To give some perspective as someone whose CPU's single-thread rating is 2003 ( base 1939 overclocked by 400 MHz), almost every game runs phenomenally, but there are definitely a select few games where the slowdown is obnoxious ( cough the Ratchet & Clank series cough). PCSX2 recommends a minimum single-thread rating of 1600, and preferably a rating of 2000+. (Note: these ratings are calculated at your CPU's base clock overclocking will yield higher single-thread ratings.)
Because it only utilizes two CPU cores (or 3 with MTVU enabled see below), PCSX2's performance is going to depend heavily on your CPU's single-thread rating, a list of which can be found here. Can I fix this, and if so, how?Īs far as " can I fix this", let's start with – bar none – the most important performance metric for running PCSX2: your CPU's single-threaded performance.
How can I transfer saves from one version of PCSX2 to another?.
What does "stable release" mean? If 1.4.0 is stable, does that mean 1.5.0 is unstable?.Why is PCSX2 so CPU-intensive compared to, say, Dolphin's emulation of the GameCube?.Where do I find a BIOS? Why do I need one?.Where do I find the latest version of PCSX2?.What if none of these fixes work well enough?.If you think of any questions or notice typos/inaccuracies/omissions in this FAQ, please let me know.
