    Don't you dare to abandon gtx970 coz it makes u closer to us in terms of specs. Well congratulations on new gpu.🎉🎉🎉 Please always test emulators on both the gpus so we can expect our performance also through your videos.😅

      Yes, the GTX 970 is in its original box and stored here. It will definitely appear in other channel content, especially if there are any new developments, such as new emulators and demanding games like TotK. Thank you for everything, my friend.

    CPU core speed and threads are the workhorses of emulation. Interesting to see Xenia lean into the GPU as much as it does. Thanks for this and looking forward to the higher resolution tests!

    • @AlexwpiGame

      Currently, the Patreon community can indeed suggest videos and other types of content. For example, content about Ryusak, which is the tool that allows downloading shaders, saves, and other things for Ryujinx, was suggested by "Ray Tracer" and was exclusively available on Patreon. It was only after two months that it was made available on the Discord server. Today, the Patreon community is still low profile, and they rarely suggest any type of content. However, as an example, for the game tests between RPCS3 and Xenia, I plan to make three or more videos testing about 15 games in each video, and the first games will be decided by the Patreons. They can also watch and comment on the videos if they wish, almost 24 hours before they are publicly released here. I hope I have answered your question. If you have any other doubts, you can send me a message here or on Discord, and I will respond as soon as possible.

    Great video, I'm still running my 970's in sli with a 4960x. I'm curious if sli holds any gains in rpcs3 emu. Its nice to see the 970 hold its own against the newer 4070 after all these years. Obviously in PC taking the 4070 would run circles around the 970

    Thank u so much for this video! I was mixed between getting the UM790 Pro with Radeon 780M graphics or a mini PC with discrete graphics that costs double the price! I'm leaning more towards just going with AMD Integrated graphics for emulation.

    Creio que o Xenia atualmente é o único emulador que a placa de vídeo é uma das principais peças para a emulação. Já os demais fazem um bom equilíbrio entre CPU e GPU, enquanto o RPCS3 tem seu maior foco no uso da CPU.

    • @AlexwpiGame
      @AlexwpiGame  Рік тому

      Sim, é exatamente isso, se vc tem um processador de Intel de 8th gen ou equivalente, praticamente todo emulador vai se comportar da mesma forma, a não ser o RPCS3, que aproveita muito bem os recursos da 12th gen em diante

      Before 2020, I also had a third-generation i5, and that processor served me well for many years. It's a shame it doesn't support AVX2, otherwise, I could still use it for emulators today. It was truly a revolutionary generation for Intel. And as tested before, a GTX 1050 still has a lot of life left if you're not looking to invest in a new GPU right now.

      Currently, there is a project in Yuzu called Project UMA. It promises to reduce RAM consumption, both for its PC and Android versions. The estimated RAM usage when UMA is implemented is around 10GB (in-game RAM usage) for PC and between 6 and 8GB for Android.

    • @AlexwpiGame
      @AlexwpiGame  Рік тому +1

      When it comes to emulation, it indeed matters very little. However, you will see in the second part of the video the significant difference that a high-end GPU can make when I ran RDR on Xenia at 4K resolution with the emulator's internal resolution set to 1080P. I also couldn't test many current PC native games because the only games I have with ray tracing support are Control and Battlefield 5. In Control, with all settings maxed out, including RT, the GPU usage was around 40%.

    • @AlexwpiGame
      @AlexwpiGame  Рік тому +2

      Based on some things I just read, your processor is said to be 30% better than mine, so this difference could be directly noticeable, especially in RPCS3, where single-core performance is a key requirement for good performance. As for CPUs, emulators generally don't have many restrictions, but if you are using an AMD GPU or integrated GPU alongside your Ryzen processor, there may be some issues. It's not that AMD GPUs have problems, but in general, their drivers are not as optimized for emulation compared to other brands.

      In most tests, the Ryzen has an advantage of around 10 to 15%. However, since you mentioned that you use a laptop, try checking if your device's power settings are configured for high performance.

    so what price to performance cpu & gpu combo for ps3 xbox 360 switch today?

    • @AlexwpiGame
      @AlexwpiGame  Рік тому

      If you're considering older hardware, choosing an 8th generation i7 CPU would be a good option as it offers excellent performance for the PS3 emulator (which is currently the most demanding emulator in terms of CPU requirements). With this CPU, you can expect good performance across all emulators. As for the GPU, at least a GTX 1660 with a minimum of 6GB VRAM would be sufficient to run all emulators, even at 1440p resolution and potentially 4K depending on the emulator and game. As for the cost, I cannot provide an estimate as it varies depending on the country and availability. Additionally, if you don't mind purchasing products from China, there are kits available called "interposer kits" that include a laptop CPU soldered directly onto a motherboard. These kits often offer 11th generation i9 CPUs, which provide exceptional performance for emulation due to their strong single-threaded performance, which is important for RPCS3.

    • @AlexwpiGame
      @AlexwpiGame  Рік тому +4

      RPCS3 is actually heavily dependent on the full power of your CPU's single core performance. This means that the higher the frequency of your CPU, the better the emulator's performance will be. Unfortunately, the two processors I currently have access to only have a 10% difference in performance gain, so I cannot demonstrate this through a video.
