We’ve mentioned before the RPCS3 PS3 emulator for PC. The tool has gone through lots of updates and is now reaching near full speed emulation on some games, provided you have the right gear.

RPCS3 PS3 emulator already runs some games at near full speed

The video below, posted on youtube by user John GodGames, is showing RPCS3 running on an i7 6700k with an NVidia GTX 970. In other words, a pretty reasonable gear in terms of price. The video shows game After burner Climax running pretty much at full speed on the emulator.

The full specs of the machine used for the test:

CPU – Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.60 Ghz

RAM – 16 GB DDR4

GPU – GTX 970 GAMING 100ME 4GB

OS – Windows 10 64bit

Granted, the game does not look like it is heavily demanding on CPU or GPU resources, but this shows that the RPCS3 PS3 emulator is making great progress.

Anyone up to check how The Last Of Us fares on RPCS3?
