Successfully Emulating A PS3 On An AMD FX8350 From 2012 (RPCS3)

#RPCS3 #PS3 #Emulator running various games full speed on Windows 10 64-bit on a PC with a CPU from 2012. On my Facebook page (link down below) there’s a longer raw gameplay clip to be seen for those interested.

This is a video on my good old AMD FX8350 system which always was a bit of a IPC underdog when it came to Intel chips but in 2019 can still shine with multithreaded applications like RPCS3. I quickly show you some clips of games to demonstrate how these run.

Okay not all games run 100% full speed, but many do Provided you set the resolution of the emulator to 480p or 576p – the standard NTSC or PAL regular TV resolutions first generation PS3 owners used on the old CRTs.

The PC Used:
CPU: AMD FX8350 @ stock speeds (4+Ghz)
GPU: RX 560 (a GT 1030, GTX1050, GTX950 all work too at similar performance in this system)
RAM: 1600Mhz 8Gb

I recorded the footage with OBS capturing in 1920x1080p 60fps on the same computer while at the same time running RPCS3. At 1080p or 720p many games taxe the old CPU too much, when you switch the emulator to 480p or 576p native SD resolutions the performance jumps to 100% on many titles. The emulator-overlay is enabled for stats and a sense of the speed and load on both host PC as the virtual PS3 system.

The IPC of the ‘8’-core system is quite a fair bit lower than the 3rd and 4th gen Intel systems
