What GPU do I need to run emulators?

For dolphin a fermi gpu and an i5, that will play any emu, my i5 at stock runs cemu without issue

No you dont.
You can get a stock quad core 3.5ghz cpu and you will be able to run most stuff.

Get a 1070 it play anything if you cannot afford it get a 1050ti/60

With the current state of PS3 and WiiU emulation, what would you need ?

>>385325351
you really dont need much

An i7 7700K is considered "top of the line".

In reality, a Ryzen 1700X should do just fine. Better yet, just overclock a normal Ryzen 1700. There's about a 90% chance you can reach 1700X speeds and then some.

But thats like using a kielm to make toast, theres no need for ryzan for emulation a pc from 5 years ago will do emulation just fine, get an i5 and a gpu from the last decade

>This will emulate any present emulator weather it be snes9x epsxe project 64 dolphin, cemu, pcsx2 retro arch and its cores

I have a stock i5-6500 and a factory OCd 950 ... would that let me run most emulators fine?

>>385328424
Emulators are heavily cpu dependent it really dont matter what gpu you have as long as it has atleast a 1.5vram you laughing, they only need good gpu for,aa, downsampling, you dont even need a gpu to run dolphin but it helps if you want fancy graphics an i5 will play dolohin at 1920x1080

My 3570k at stock (yeah its a waste of k i know) and my old 770 and my old 480 had no issue emulating

My old 770 and 3570k emulated mgs3 in pcsx2 perfectly with minor small spikes in, cutscenes but still 100% completable and that is by far the most demanding game you could possibly emulate

>>385329359
Ohh I thought I needed like a top of the line overclocked i7 to run most things fine, guess I'm fine with my i5.

>>385330920
Lol, nah thats a forced intel meme

With emulation the only big issues you could encounter are issues what any pc would have like for example it doesnt matter what system you are running you WILL NOT be able to use thermal vision on mgs3 under pcsx2 weather you have 100ghz and and 6gpu's

>>385325351
GTX 1060 6GB at least

>>385325929
or this

>I know I need a ridiculous overclocked CPU,
You don't know jack shit.

>>385325351
Depends solely on what you want to emulate. Dolphin/PCSX2/Retroarch (pretty much anything from SNES downwards with some exceptions---cough, cough, N64 and Saturn), a mid tier i5 and a 770-950 will be enough.

Honestly, I wouldn't invest in a gaming PC solely for emulation. The newer systems (CEMU, RPCS3) are still far from compatible with most games and even the handful of Demon Souls/P5 youtube videos post on /v/ are hacked up and often deceptive.

Emulation is the cherry on the sundae of gaming on the PC platform, not the ice cream.

Use this to find recommended emulators.

Daily reminder anyone who uses ZSNES over SNES9x is retarded

does netplay still work on anything?

i loved me some online mario kart

Pretty much all the GPU does in this case is pump pixels to the screen so the only thing it'll do is allow you to run at giant resolutions.

you dont need a ludicrously overclocked CPU to run most emulators you fucking retard i was literally running emulators on my 386

M8 I use a laptop to play Dolphin and PCSX2. Don't be a retard who say that you need some top tier CPU.

People need to start ignoring stupid ass questions and let these people just suffer
