PCSX2 runs better on Intel CPUs than AMD CPUs, and this should be the main factor that decides ''Shadow'''s emulation quality. However, Intel CPUs are much more expensive than AMD ones, yet AMD processors can still offer terrific emulation performance if the clock rate is high enough (and at half-price). Here are my recommendations when deciding what CPU to run the game on. Remember, PCSX2 uses only two cores, so the number of cores in my recommendations are only there because they may be needed for other computer uses. | ||

Either of these two options, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing Setting will run the game at the best possible quality, easily achieving between 30 and 60 Frames-Per-Second. | Either of these two options, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing Setting will run the game at the best possible quality, easily achieving between 30 and 60 Frames-Per-Second. | ||
