I have an issue that whenever i try and play emulator games on my 6-7 year old build my FPS is extremly low. i would think that my system should be able to run any emulator game for the most part maybe not current consoles. my son plays was playing minecraft on it with no lags or anything. i have done a complete format and reinstall of windows 10 got everything back together stll the same. ive used GURU to wipe driver files and reinstall nothing seems to work. Using GPU-z and benchmarking the 1080 preset it runs at about 7 FPS @ 21% GPU load..... so my CPU is the bottle neck i would assume.... im not sure what info you guys would like to maybe assist me but here is the PC im trying to do this on
CPU: FX-8320 OC to 3.99 (problem happens with and without OC)
MEM: 4x4GB Hyper 1866 DDR3
GPU: Sapphire AMD R9 280x 3GB
SSD: kingston 240GB
COOLER: Cooler Master ML240L
PSU: ATX LSP Ultra 500W total 600W Peak (been wondering if this is a little under powered and creating problems??)
i know it seems trivial that im worried about not being able to play emulated games but i enjoy the retro.... and feel that this rig should be able to run what im trying to.
thanks for any info and help
