Hey guys, I used to play hours on emulators some years ago, mostly latest Zelda/Nintendo games and some PS3 games as well.
It required a strong cpu and time tweaking to keep things going smoothly, still had some hiccups and stutters here and there... wasn`t perfect, but I remember it improved a lot when I upgraded to a 9900K.
I bet it is better optimized now, but how far can I get away with? does single core perf and higher clocks still the way to go? or having more cores also help? just as example: 12900 or 12600k for that application?
I am weighting my options for a new build, was thinking to go AM5 but motherboards are expensive still, as previous intel gens prices go down, was thinking to get elder or raptor lake w a cheap b660 or even h610 board... since I will play mostly emulators I believe a RX6600 class gpu should do it, any recommendations are welcome
