The minimum hardware requirements are a graphics card with pixel shader 3.0 (ATi Radeon 9500 series and later and the NVIDIA GeForce FX series) and SSE2 CPU. Most PCSX2 emulated games are not hungry for GPU power but are dependent on the CPU. However, certain scenes in some games can be slowed down significantly if your graphics card is weak. Care must also be taken when running PCSX2 on laptops. Some of them are not designed to work on constant 100% load and can suffer damage from overheating. Investing on a decent laptop cooler is a good idea.<br /> | The minimum hardware requirements are a graphics card with pixel shader 3.0 (ATi Radeon 9500 series and later and the NVIDIA GeForce FX series) and SSE2 CPU.

In most cases you'll have several DLLs for each GSdx version. '''SSE2''', '''SSSE3''', '''SSE4''', '''AVX''' and '''AVX2'''. Which one to choose depends on your CPU installed. | In most cases you'll have several DLLs for each GSdx version. '''SSE2''', '''SSSE3''', '''SSE4''', '''AVX''' and '''AVX2'''.
