Minimum hardware requirements | Minimum hardware requirements are: a graphics card with pixel shader v2.0 (which's pretty much any modern graphics card) and SSE2 CPU (all non-SSE2 CPU are not usable with PCSX2 and they are quite old). Most of the PCSX2 emulated games are not hungry for GPU power but rather bottlenecked by CPUs so you will not need anything extra special for your games in emulator. However some certain scenes in some games can be slowed down significantly if your card is weak. It maybe because it's hard to optimize graphics code when you're working with a common emulation case rather than applying your code for each game individually. Also '''beware''' using PCSX2 with graphics hungry games on '''laptops'''. Some of them are not supposed to work on constant 100% load and can overheat easily damaging your laptop.<br /> | ||
For DirectX 10 mode you will need DirectX 10 level card (for nVidia it's from 8xxx series, for AMD it's from HD2xxx desktop and from HD2400 laptop) running under Windows Vista (or later).<br /> | For DirectX 10 mode you will need DirectX 10 level card (for nVidia it's from 8xxx series, for AMD it's from HD2xxx desktop and from HD2400 laptop) running under Windows Vista (or later).<br /> | ||
