PCSX2 runs better on Intel CPUs than AMD CPUs, and this is the main factor that determines ''Shadow'''s emulation quality. However, Intel CPUs are much more expensive than AMD ones, yet AMD processors can still offer great emulation performance (at half-price) provided that the clock rate is high enough. 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 CPU's, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing setting will easily achieve up to 30 Frames-Per-Second or slightly higher. | |||
