Persona 5 doesn't run fast in RPCS3 because the emulator is very rough you fucking retard. It would be just as slow (probably slower) on the latest Intlel housefire.

Ryzen is one of the best CPUs for RPCS3 because of the extra cores combined with Vulkan.

>>384231451
Nice try Intel marketer.

I've been running i5-2500k since it's release and now I paired it up with RX480 and can easily run new games in ultra with 1440p/60fps.

Best part is that I'm still running stock cooling and haven't overclocked the CPU yet. And the 2500k is literally the Supra of CPUs i.e. a real dyno queen

And honestly nobody can deny that 2500k is a fantastic CPU, even if you're an AMDtard.

Nigga I used a heavily i7 920 since 2008 until my CPU died last year and I upgraded to a i7 6700K on stock speed.

I noticed 0 difference and I will never buy an i7 ever again. Intel better provide better performance. It's not even about the money. I have that but I expect the performance to be a big jump not this fucking joke.

If Intel released a product that is 5x the speed of the i7 6700K for $5000 I would buy it instantly.

But I would not buy a CPU that is only 1.1x as fast as the i7 6700K for $300 even if the price/performance is higher than the $5000 CPU. I want to feel a HUGE jump in performance when I upgrade.

Y'all niggas don't get that if you want performance you need to be able to have a CPU that is able to do the logic fast and efficiently, and you need a GPU that is able to render huge images and scenes really fast.
If you have a shitty CPU and a 1080ti, your GPU is just going to spend half of its time idling, waiting for the slow ass bitch intel centrino to telegraph some instructions.
On the other hand, if you have a uber power CPU but your GPU is unable to render a chink dick in a minute, you're not going to enjoy smooth gaming

>2011

easy to look up.

Just google the last videocard you used and go to the wikipedia page.

It's probably GTX400/GTX500.

Then just click next architectures and read about what they actually added every generation and their power increase. Eventually you reach the GTX1000 generation which is the current one.

You can also just straight up google the i7 2600k which was the peak CPU in 2011 and do the same thing with the wikipedia page reading about new releases and their increases in usage.

DDR3 became DDR4 now.

That's about it. Almost nothing changed between 2011 and 2017 except for more powerful GPUs.

>>384239704

>>384240062
AMD driver have been a lot better than Nvidia for the last couple of years and their optimization is better on the older hardware that haven't been labeled as legacy.
Phenom and Athlon are still working fine, they occasionally get a new motherboard that continuously support both AM3 cpu during the Bulldozer era.

Also, my 780ti keeps falling of the chart as Nvidia longer gives a shit about gpu from a mere 2 gen ago.
It used to be on par with 980, now it getting it ass kicked by 970.
I think you're just full of shit.

>>384237429
I am not expert by any means, but it seems it is getting harder and harder to get any significant gain in performance from node shrinking alone.
At a certain point the transistors get too close together that quantum effects start coming into play.

There is a lot of research going into working around the limitations of silicon.
Stacking transistors and dies is quite popular now which should temporarily bridge the gap in performance until we move onto graphene transistors or quantum computing.
Quantum computers seem to practical for specific tasks and not general use for the time being as it is much different from working with current transistors.
Graphene transistors sound like the next logical step, but I am clueless on the topic merely parroting what little topics I have come across.

>>384242773
It's shadows and effects, nothing else affects the CPU in this game. Textures, draw distance, all the same, but drop shadows to off and get up to 30 fps boost. And PS2 loves single-core performance, so if your CPU is unlocked - OC it to at least 4ghz. You will see at least 10 fps boost, maybe more.

the ryzen 5 doesn't need much cooling at all from what i've experienced, it is a 65w processor after all compared to the 125w of the 8350.

>>384245131
no and no.

even the ryzen 1400 is on pair (in games) with the 8370, not to mention the AM3+ socket is completely dead.

>>384241010

How is that possible?

Also:

So many questions...

Yes?
Point remains that they're pretty much right about AMD "gluing dies together", that's both a strength and weakness, and ringbus isn't all that comparable to IF.

Not going to ask about the realkek audio lulcessor?

>>384245098

Ark takes 100GB+ with all the expansions installed.

then a 4-7GB update daily because they are that incompetent they can't fix a problem

>>384245171
1700fag tuning in, stock cooler keeps me below 60c clocked at 3.8ghz. Good enough for me.

And I only bought the 1700 over the 1600 because my computer died a month before Ryzen and I didn't want to wait until whenever the 5 series came out.

RAM you retard
spengos has more technical issues than any game I've ever seen
They forgot to bundle the physics engine with the game once

>>384244959
you can dual boot with any setup.

If you mean do GPU passthrough then I don't see why it won't.
Looking at
>http://ark.intel.com/products/88191/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz
it seems to support vt-x and vt-d
You need 2 gpus with support for vt-d (iGPU and a dedicated GPU in your case), and make sure your motherboard's PCIEx16 lanes are on sepperate iommu groups.

Mind you this is not something you can do quickly and easily, you have to be willing to put some time into RTFM and be patient. It pays off in the end.
here is a nice guide if you are interested
>https://www.evonide.com/non-root-gpu-passthrough-setup/
That's what I followed and managed to pull off successfully with i7 4790 and 980, and successfully again with an upgrade to a 1080Ti.

AMD is easier though since you don't need a one line workaround in the QEMU script to circumvent error code 43 (intentional hindrance created by nvidia to get non-gamers to buy quadro cards since they use GPUs in VMs a lot more and are undercutting by buying gaming cards instead of overpriced professional workstation cards to do the job)
If you have Nvidia don't worry though it is very easy to fix though already included in the guide I linked you.
You just need to have the patience of following instructions, once you've set it up once you won't need to do anything afterwards besides launch the VM either by command line, or by creating an icon on your panel/taskbar which you click to run the script like you would open any other application.

it's ram that is so fast it rans instead of rams.

>>384231540
But I get great results with my GTX 1080.

>>384244959
what motherboard are you using?

>>384245775
Thanks man i'll look into the guide.

>>384246069
Asrock Z170 Pro 4

Sort of related but is the G4560 good for emulation on Dolphin?

I'm upgrading from AMD trash.

>>384246920
No, it's a locked cpu for poorfag cucks.

Every time with you pajeets.
Come back when AMD learns to make cores as strong as Intel's.

>>384232908
Thats because you bought a strong cpu, the entire point of the thread

If you cheaper out and bought something like a phenom or early bulldozer you would end up spending more due to replacing them sooner

>>384243765
Only because the cpu market has finally changed

>>384246920
Look up some real benchmarks instead of relying on brand loyalist opinions. It's probably fine.
I'm still using an i5 3570k, which at stock is only ~20% faster than a G4560, and I've never had any problems running Dolphin. Played through all of Twilight Princess, Eternal Darkness and Mario Sunshine/Galaxy on it.

>>384244791
Ryzen cpu run cooler and use less power than kabylake

>>384246920
>Sort of related but is the G4560 good for emulation on Dolphin?

Yes it will do fine.

Asrock Z170 Pro 4, check for options in bios to enable virtualization and vt-d.

some user managed to passthrough an Asrock Z170M Pro4s with intel i7 6700 iGPU without any issues, motherboard might be similar enough to yours.
few other users managed to passthrough with i7 6700K.

I'd say give it a shot if you are keen on it, audio might be the toughest part of the setup depending on your luck.
Good news for you is that the guy who managed to get Z170M Pro4s didn't complain about any audio or iommu issues. That motherboard might be similar enough to yours.
If you get any audio crackling there are a few different workarounds you can try
>use GPUs HDMI audio
>use AC97 instead of HDA in the QEMU script and disable GPU audio in windows VM
Second option worked perfectly fine on my setup for both mic and speakers, even when switching to another USB DAC as my main audio source.
Its all in the guide I linked you anyway

Not recommended to follow anything past this point unless you are desperate, I'd really stick with windows if you cannot resolve audio issues since it would be a pain not being able to hear audio on both OSes simultaneously
Last resort failing both options a non gratis solution would be to buy a USB DAC or PCIE soundcard and passing that through as a seperate audio source.
Problem with that is that you won't get the same audio on both host OS and guest OS simultaneously

For USB DAC you'd need to pass through an entire USB controller, do not pass the DAC individually by device ID
Passing through an entire USB controller going to the front ports of your case is nice to have anyways since you can just hotplug any USB devices to the windows VM physically, easier to do with a PCIE USB controller since your motherboard's USB controllers might be placed on the same IOMMU groups as other devices

You can circumvent iommu grouping with ACS patch not recommended

>Persona 5 doesn't run fast in RPCS3 because the emulator is very rough you fucking retard
Pretty sure the devs have stated that no amount of refining will ever get them to a full speed point without more powerful CPU's. It's not just a "rough" emulator.

>>384231451

anyone that buys a i9 at this point in time is beyond saving

Is it good enough for Star Citizen?

any gaming reason why I'd upgrade my 4690k in the near future

>>384231914
What? Since when was video processing via GPU "more advantageous" than CPU?

>>384250694
not that guy, but isn't intensive graphics calculations the whole reason why GPUs were invented in the first place?

>300W CPU
DELID THIS

>>384231451
The only games where CPU matters a lot more are MMOs, Open world meme games, and emulators.

>>384232461
Thank you anon, reminds me that I need to test that out my new r7 1700, the old nehelam conked out not much further than the ps4 did.
