Emulation

Hi All, I'm getting an HP Z2 G4 for free and wanted to turn it into an emulation machine, mostly for Dolphin. The exact spec is a 5DU92UT#ABA. I'm familiar with the concept of PC building but have never built one myself or done any work with PC hardware besides changing RAM. The plan is to be...

Hi! I am experiencing an issue with the refresh rate when running Ryujinx in fullscreen. I have a 144Hz LG monitor, but since emulating in Ryujinx works smoothest with 60Hz, I change the refresh rate of my monitor before I play. The problem is, as soon as I run Ryujinx in fullscreen, the...

So I’ve seen the threads all over the internet for using these CPUs for gaming, but what about for emulation? I know with emulating you end being CPU bound more often due to the CPU having to emulate the graphics as well and I’m not sure if the extra cores will help in this case or if the higher...

Which cpu is better for running emulators like rpcs3 and for vw vare? Will the ryzen 9 3900 12 core have a significant performance increase compared to 4800h 8 core (this is for only emulation not gaming) I've seen i9 8 core run rpsc3 games smoothing around 60fps and wanted similar performance...

I recently decided to repurpose some parts for an emulation machine. I’ve taken my i5 4690k, and gigabyte z97N gaming 5 and paired it with solid gear flex mini itx psu. I get power to motherboard as the fan cooler gets going. That’s of course when I attached the 24 pin connection to the mobo...

I was lookin into getting on of these micro PCs for emulation...

Is the ryzen 5 3600 a good cpu for emulator use such as pcsx2? As far as my knowledge goes emulators rely on single core processing and from what ive heard the ryzen 5 3600 has better single core power compared to intel cpus such as the i5 9600. Will i get decent performence running most...

Hiya guys, just looking for some advice. Currently I have a Ryzen 3 1200 (lower tier Ryzen) A huge part of PC gaming for me is emulation, and as projects for later consoles have come out I wanted to improve my CPU (my GPU is fine) The thing is due to money constraints id like to get a higher...

Hello! I recently reapplied the thermal paste for my GPU (Zotac GTX 1080 Ti AMP! Extreme) and have noticed a multitude of problems since. Firstly, the fans on the card aren't spinning, well sort of and I'll say why in a second (even putting them on 100% in MSI Afterburner doesn't do anything.)...

I'm planning to build a new PC. Would there be a problem if I used RAM sticks from my old computer to cut down on costs?

I have a two year old dell laptop with an nvidia graphic card which overheats while playing games, what bothers me is that the anti aliasing in games are getting worse. Could it be a hardware problem? I'm sure its not a driver issue cause I've checked into it.

I've been battling this issue for some time now and still haven't been able to solve it... Basically, i noticed that games were choppy and stuttery, so I started monitoring and noticed that everything seems normal except for FRAME TIME, which stays in the high 20s even though the fps high and...
