I would wager there are more critically acclaimed PS2 games then PC games. For the sake of time I won't go there though. Ico*, Shadow of the Colossus*, Persona 3-4, Devil Summoner(Pretty much all Shin Megami games for that matter.), Timesplitters, FF series*, Indigo Prophecy*, MGS*, Okami*, Valkyrie Profile, Mark of Kri, God of War*, King’s Field, and many, many mores. Unfortunately, only some of them have been ported to more recent consoles, and even few - if any to PC. I did try looking up interlacing codes but couldn't find any for mercenaries, although this problem did happen a little bit in SH4 too.Because most of the best games ever created were made on the PS2 and can't be found others. I tried enabling 8bit textures and disabling texture filtering, no difference.ĭo you happen to have any ideas? Apart from that it feels like I'm almost at a playable state. The only thing that seems to be wrong now is I am getting a strange foggy image appear like a filter during gameplay. Software mode always seems to result in a dramatic drop in speed.

I'm still using Direct3D 11 in hardware mode and native resolution. VU Clamping is disabled and I'm using GSDx 32 1.20 AVX2. EE Cyclerate and EE Skipping are still set to -2/2 because Mercenaries struggled to run without it. What I did was enable HW hacks and under Video Plugins>Advanced Settings I changed the Skipdraw range to 2-7 and disabled framerate limiter. In other games like Mercenaries I'm getting around 130% in gameplay. The cutscenes in SH4 have sped up to almost 100% and the gameplay is around 130-150%. I've made some changes that I found via a YT video and there has been some improvement. So if the Iris Xe has good OpenGL support, I would take the Intel over AMD any day (if they're similarly priced). Nvidia has excellent OpenGL support on top of D3D, and OGL Hardware is the mode my PCSX2 is always running on. Direct3D has occassional graphical glitches that can only be solved by switching to OGL. One big issue I had while using the Vega 11 was that I couldn't run games on OpenGL, because AMD's OGL support is terrible. The Intel will give you a much better CPU performance in any case, so I definitely recommend that one if the price is right.īut, one thing you should look into is the Intel GPU's driver support.

Basically STR over 2100 will give you optimal CPU strength, and higher will not* give you any noticeable benefits beyond fixing the rare frame drop. I had a Ryzen 2400G with Vega 11 before I upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 with a GTX 1650. On the CPU side, I never noticed a difference. The AMD Vega 6 has a 3DMark of 889 while the Iris Xe G7 80EU has 1248, so the Intel iGPU is definitely better.
