PS5 Emulation becoming viable on lower end PCs!

[u/agente4242]

Using Jetsku's KytyPS5 Fork as it has some fixes in both Astro games.

Build is an RTX 5060 + Ryzen 5 5600GT (Same performance as a 5500, 6c/12t), 16GB RAM. Game is Astro's Playroom.

It's still getting around 35 fps in the main lobby, but inside the actual levels its hovering around 45-60fps! Not sure I'd call it fully playable yet, but the progress is amazing.

More gameplay and settings used, guide (english subtitled): https://youtu.be/yMw7_cGbicw

Edit: fixed link. Meant lower end when compared to most showcases of these emulators being 5090s, X3D chips and DDR5... Better wording would be "current-generation lower end".

Also, people seem to be wildly overestimating the 5600gt. Genuinely can't run any triple-A RPCS3 game at a locked 30fps.

In what universe is a computer with an RTX 5060 considered "low end"...?

[u/Traditional-Storm-62 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

emulators are inherently less efficient than running a program natively

PS5 already has basically rx6700

so you wouldnt expect anything less than rx6700 to run the emulator at all

rtx5060 is only slightly faster so the fact it runs the games well is impressive

[u/chizburger999 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

In what universe 5060 is considered mid range or highend?

[u/Steam-Frame-User → u/chizburger999]

And it’s still more powerful than the Steam Machine. It’s midrange.

[u/poorlycooked → u/chizburger999]

It's definitely mid-range? The low-end is iGPU/APU nowadays.

That said the 5600GT is definitely quite low-end when it comes to gaming and emulation in particular

[u/Sea_Scale_4538 → u/chizburger999]

in the one that we live in

[u/Grand0rk → u/Sea_Scale_4538]

So what is a 5070 TI? High End?

[u/samusmaster64 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

The universe we currently live in. It's the upper low end.

[u/wowohwowza → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

It's typical PCMR misunderstanding of the world outside this community

Someone getting into gaming on a budget at the low end is more likely to get a used 2070

Someone really on a budget might even get a 1080, which you can get for £100 in the UK and can still handle 1080/60 in a lot of cases. That's low end, budget gaming, not a fucking 5060 lmao

[u/Valkanith → u/wowohwowza]

That’s what I don’t get with this sub, a PC with a 5060 is already more powerful than 90% of the computers in the world. Do people in this sub really think anything below a 5070 is “garbage tier”?

[u/Mixed_Martial_Autism → u/Valkanith]

This sub is pretty much a bubbles of suburban Americans who can buy a 5090 with like one months of Working at McDonald's while living with their parents. Pretty much Anywhere Else in the world you Would need to save for MONTHS to even but a 5060.

[u/leaslethefalcon → u/Mixed_Martial_Autism]

nobody working at mcdonalds unless they are in management is getting anywhere close to 5090 money unless they are literally saving every dollar from their paycheck for 4 months.

Average wage in the US at McDonalds on the high end is $38,000, or approximately $3166 a month before tax. So closer to $2700 takehome salary. The average price for a 5090 is now pushing $7500 used. So we are talking at least 3 months of being an absolute leach making $16-17 an hour.

Not to say the vibes of your statement are incorrect, but even in America the streets aren't that paved with gold.

[u/agente4242 → u/Mixed_Martial_Autism]

To be clear I very much agree. I called the 5060 low end because I was fully expecting to be destroyed in the comments if I called it anything above that. That plus the fact the CPU is absolutely the bottleneck here.

[u/Arturopxedd → u/wowohwowza]

1060 was low end even back then that shit is broke end we are talking about low end

[u/wowohwowza → u/Arturopxedd]

5090 FE

Your opinion on what is and isn't low-end is irrelevant, lmao.

[u/socokid → u/wowohwowza]

Oh what bullshit, lmao

[u/Arturopxedd → u/wowohwowza]

I literally had a 3060 before I upgraded and got it for msrp don’t let your emotions blind you lmao

[u/harry_lostone → u/wowohwowza]

don't ask him how much one banana cost

[u/Tricky-Passenger6703 → u/wowohwowza]

Low, mid, and high are all going to have tiers within themselves.

I don't see how anyone could call a 8GB card mid tier today.

[u/resodx → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

It's the second cheapest Nvidia card available rn

[u/Mixed_Martial_Autism → u/resodx]

...of the Newest gen of GPUs, which is a Very importante detail. Considering most people outside of the US aren't even rocking anything close to the latest gen of GPUs.

It's like saying "but this Caiman is the cheapest Porsche you can buy! It's a lower end car!".

[u/DelusionalWoodoo → u/resodx]

still costs upwords of 400$ and even 600$ in my country :)

[u/Heavy_Nature_4896 → u/resodx]

It's the second cheapest new, top of the line card available right now.....

[u/Tornado_Hunter24 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

Top of the line?

Wtf lmfaooo

[u/Cyberblood → u/Tornado_Hunter24]

I think he means least expensive of the newest generation of GPUs, basically the bottom of the top.

[u/Tornado_Hunter24 → u/Cyberblood]

It’s still pretty low end, <60 low, 70 medium, and 80 mid/high 90 being high

[u/FloopsFooglies → u/Tornado_Hunter24]

Yeah. Like it's new, sure, but it's still the "budget" (using that term tentatively) option from the 5000 series

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

On mine. I have an i7 4700k, 24Gb DDR3 RAM and a 5060. My shits old.

[u/maevian → u/According_Big_5638]

Man that 5060 is so over spec’d for a 4700k

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/maevian]

Yeah. It sure is. But it's incredible what it does regardless

[u/harry_lostone → u/maevian]

it is, but intel back then made beast CPUs. there will be an obvious bottleneck, but it will still be playable. An rtx 3060 would make far more sense tho.

[u/WINNT21 → u/According_Big_5638]

You consider that old? I have an Ryzen 3 3200g, 8 GB DDR4 single channel RAM, and a Vega 8 running from the VGA port on my asus prime a320m-k motherboard

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/WINNT21]

Mines older than the entire Ryzen line sir.

[u/WINNT21 → u/According_Big_5638]

Also there's no i7 4700k, you probably meant 4770k

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/WINNT21]

Sorry 4770k

[u/WINNT21 → u/According_Big_5638]

Damn 2013? That cpu is old as gta 5

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/WINNT21]

Yeah! But I still play all the things! It's been an absolute beast of a processor considering. It's been in use the whole time. It's why I haven't upgraded. I've been just fine at 1080p gaming and it's ran everything despite games saying it wouldn't work.

[u/WINNT21 → u/According_Big_5638]

Well the most that matters if it still works for you and has use cases

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/WINNT21]

Absolutely!

[u/Adventurous_Card_738 → u/WINNT21]

you consider that old? i still have my old pc and use it sometimes that has an i5 3470 and a 2gb gtx 1050

[u/xFrazle → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

This universe

[u/Beznia → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

5050 is the lowest card you can get in this generation. 5060 is low end, then you have the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti as a mid level card, 5080 on the higher end, and 5090 as the flagship.

Compared to previous gen models, yeah it's leagues ahead but if you're going out today and getting a pre-built, a 5060 is the bare minimum you'd really want.

[u/Bitter_Hospital_8279 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

5060 is low end lmfao in a first world

[u/Mixed_Martial_Autism → u/Bitter_Hospital_8279]

When Americans day First world what they actually Mean is the US. Because even in most of Europe people aren't rocking. 5060's casually. Let Aline places like Rússia, china, Japan etc.

[u/kreteciek → u/Bitter_Hospital_8279]

1080 here, living in central Euope, no problem with any modern games.
