priceaw Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi everyone! So I am debating between building a new PC for emulation or simply buying a mini-PC. Budget not being a factor, however smallest form factor and being able to emulate at 1080p are. Just looking for suggestions to help my decision! Thanks!

C-Beats Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Your post doesn't have enough detail to really give a definitive answer since you haven't said what systems you are trying to emulate. Do you know what the newest system is you are trying to emulate? That would determine how powerful a GPU you need. Most emulation is done single threaded and so when looking at CPU you'd want one with a decent single core performance. GPU really depends on the system you're trying to emulate as a lot of the retro stuff typically doesn't really hit the GPU much. If you have shaders enabled in RetroArch they tend to hit your GPU harder than the game you're trying to emulate (with exception for a few of the newer systems like PS3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
