I know my PC is obsolete, it is not bad but it is very old and i do meet minimun requirements on paper, PS2 just does not seem to support it or something. Take a look As you can see, on paper i clearly meet minimun reguirements, so what is this? It just is too old and thus unsupported - altough it seems to meet reguirements, or is it mistake that site did? Site i am talking about is this http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
Well, your computer pretty much better than mine, but I have a 6670 HD card. So I would try to get one better than mine. Terrible advice, I know- but they are the lower end ones nowadays anyways and shouldn't be too expensive! Actually, don't take advice from me. I built my computer just a few months ago, and I chose for it to be outdated to fit my budget constraints. I could have spent another 50-100 and made it twice as good, but there's always a time for upgrades or what not.
His graphics card already is better than yours. Radeon 5700 series > Radeon 6600 series. OP, have you actually tried running PS2?
Of course i have, have used this one since launch. I get about 20 FPS at big battles. My motherboard is REAALLY old, so i can`t get all powers out of my PC, hence i am getting completly new one (with some parts from this one)
I am waiting for DDR4 memory for motherboards to come before i buy it, then i see results and i might notice i don`t have to upgrade other parts.
So everything works fine and as you'd expect based on the age of your rig, only that you're bothered by some random site saying your card doesn't meet the minimum requirements? Probably just some bug in the site.
Your current graphics card and CPU are pretty balanced, neither is particularly holding the other back. Which means that if you upgrade only your graphics card, you will see very limited improvement in performance unless you also upgrade your CPU in the same degree. For a budget system to run PS2 relatively smoothly while being a significant upgrade over what you have, I'd look at an FX-6300, a budget board (preferably with USB3.0 and SATA 6gb/s), and at least a GTX 750 Ti
Altough sooner or later i will, i was not planning on upgrading my graphics card, i was planning on upgrading my motherboard, which hold back my processors and graphic cards. Only after that i upgrade my graphic card and processor.
Your motherboard chipset does indeed hold back the CPU from being upgraded to anything significantly faster, but not the GPU. The CPU holds back the GPU. Your motherboard probably only has PCIe 2.0, but PCIe 3.0 cards work fine in it. Upgrading the motherboard alone will obviously not have any effect on your framerates. It would also not make any sense to buy a new motherboard just to install that old CPU in it. You should upgrade the motherboard, CPU and GPU all at the same time (and if your RAM is DDR2, you'll need to ugprade that too).
