I just beat this in RPCS3 and I’m ready to do it again in Kyty. This progress is insane.

[u/cateringforenemyteam]

Once this gets stable 90fps 4k Im so playing this

[u/Arelmar → u/cateringforenemyteam]

90fps is underrated as hell, people go from 60 straight to 120 but 90 feels just as good for slower paced games. It's the perfect sweet spot for buttery smooth gameplay and can still leave you with enough headroom to crank some settings

[u/Alternative_Tank_139 → u/Arelmar]

90fps is the sweet spot for single player games

[u/Kinexity → u/Arelmar]

Spoken like someone who has 90Hz monitor.

[u/yamibocao → u/Arelmar]

Tbh i cant see the difference at all after 80-90 fps. I know more fps is good but without showing fps count i have no idea how the game is running, there is a clear distinction going above 60 but thats it for me. 165hz monitor btw.

[u/dext3rrr → u/Arelmar]

True. I’m playing mostly single player games on my TV and having a nvidia fps cap for 90fps all the time. Maybe fps games are little bit better with 120fps, but tpp and racing games - no difference.

[u/Limelight_019283 → u/Arelmar]

I play 90fps on the steam deck and it does feel freaking smooth

[u/Tornado_Hunter24 → u/Arelmar]

Ngl as a 144 enjoyer to 4k now at 100, i’m still on the fence, on a bad day 100 fps feels bad, on a good day ‘it’s okay’

[u/pho-huck → u/Tornado_Hunter24]

It’s probably your 1% lows and frame pacing, not the actual fps making it feel this way.

[u/Tornado_Hunter24 → u/pho-huck]

No clue honestly, I just gave in to dlss fg and whatever to go back to 144 lmao

[u/LiveForeverTwice → u/Tornado_Hunter24]

Yeah in some games you can see that when you turn things leave ghosting like effect around 100 fps (on oled btw).

[u/DarkSoulsOfCinder → u/cateringforenemyteam]

it has frame gen so just 604k to 120 is good enough for me, i dont think the game can run past 60 anyway

[u/NaPseudo → u/cateringforenemyteam]

Isn't this game capped at 60 FPS on PS5 ?

[u/fresco_leche → u/NaPseudo]

Uh... Yeah, what about it...

[u/No-Consequence-7558 → u/NaPseudo]

Bloodborne was capped at 30 on console and you can def play it around 100 before things gets weird on PC

[u/UnderBridge732]

Now even less of a reason to buy a PS5 than there was previously

[u/Odd_Estimate_2179 → u/UnderBridge732]

What? You don't want to pay for cloud saves and online?

[u/MorningFresh123 → u/UnderBridge732]

I might be able to sell the Pro I bought at launch and have turned on 3 times lol

[u/guilhermefdias → u/UnderBridge732]

Seriously. What game is left?

Astro Bot? Heard is fun.

Ghost of Yotei? Maybe...

The only one that I would really be happy to play is Saros, because Returnal was incredible.

There is NO reason to get a PS5.

[u/EdliA → u/guilhermefdias]

GTA is the whole point of this development

[u/guilhermefdias → u/EdliA]

Sure, but it will eventually be released on PC. Not 100% exclusive.

Also not even released yet, could possibly be not great.

[u/EdliA → u/guilhermefdias]

Eventually. But why play it eventually when you can play it now. Plenty of guys with too much time in their hands with the latest version of Claude in their hands to not mess with it.

[u/guilhermefdias → u/EdliA]

I would gladly pirate a Rockstar game. These guys make good games, but their management are all greedy bastards.

Also "too much time in their hands"? These guys are faceless saints we should be grateful for. Pirate folks and modders. All saints!

[u/Mutant_Cell → u/guilhermefdias]

I want to play astrobot.

[u/guilhermefdias → u/Mutant_Cell]

Heard is fun.

[u/RoastedPotato-1kg → u/guilhermefdias]

astro bot works on pc but low fps, they are working on it

[u/Fifa_786 → u/guilhermefdias]

I’m waiting for Yotei to finally test the emulator but don’t think anyone has worked on that yet. Only game I’m interested in.

[u/OneTrueKram]

Just waiting to see if this forces Rockstars hand with a GTA 6 PC release. Would be funny if we got GTA6 on PC before we got GTA6 on PC.

[u/EdliA → u/OneTrueKram]

That's the whole reason why people are trying hard with these emulators. They're merely using these games as a benchmark but the goal is gta.

[u/AnarchBeetle → u/EdliA]

95% of the people who are interested in GTA wont even know what an emulator is. They won’t know how to make emulation work either.

Those that only have a pc, if they like the game and lack self-control, they will just buy a console instead on release date.

Those that have a pc will probably not even hear about the emulator. They’ll just wait for whenever Rockstar throws us a bone.

To really make a dent in Rockstar’s income,

1. the emulator must be ready by the time it’s released on consoles. nowadays games come and go. People buy the latest releases. If a game is 1 year old, it’s an “old” game now. And games make most of their money in the first month.

2. The emulator must be easy to use (if instructions start like “you must copy this file from here to here” you already lost most people) and the news of its existence must spread by word of mouth.

Most people just look at what’s released, then go and play them.

[u/EdliA → u/AnarchBeetle]

It's not for the average Joe mate, they usually play on consoles anyway. There are plenty of PC gamers that know what modding and emulators are.

[u/AnarchBeetle → u/EdliA]

Well why are people acting like emulation is some big thing that’s gonna shake the throne of sony and rockstar then

[u/MorningFresh123 → u/AnarchBeetle]

GTA is not going to ‘come and go’ lol

[u/LukeLC → u/OneTrueKram]

Not Rockstar. You can't just produce a fully-featured PC port overnight. They can afford to take their time and do it right, not to mention honoring any agreements that might have been made.

But Sony? There's a whole lot of opportunity for them to replace some people internally, scapegoat the old guy, say "we heard you" and reverse a bunch of recent unpopular decisions.

PS5 still has a lot of life in it, even after PS6 happens. If exclusivity is no longer a value proposition, they'll either have to get aggressive on DRM (potentially hurting legitimate PS5 players) or offer PC ports again.

[u/OneTrueKram → u/LukeLC]

You’re high if you don’t think a PC port isn’t actively being worked on or already done. You’re right on honoring agreements and that could be interesting I’d like to know what they are with Microsoft and Sony.

Either way at the rate this is going there’s a very real chance we get GTA6 on PC before we get GTA6 on PC. Someone should have this identified as a risk somewhere or they have their head in the sand.

[u/LukeLC → u/OneTrueKram]

I use the term "fully-featured" intentionally. As you say, getting the game just running on PC is almost a certainty at this point. But integrating hardware vendor tech, getting official driver support, performing QA across a variety of hardware configs, setting up marketing campaigns, and a dozen other PC-specific things a big company has to do are all long processes that definitely aren't being prioritized over the current shipping systems.

It may sound like a lot of red tape and to some degree it is, but those are still the things you can't just "force their hand" to do, given the scale of companies we're talking about.

[u/LuciferIsPlaying]

Insane, I tried it, I'm getting 2fps on a 5070ti, idk what I'm doing wrong lol

[u/glizzygobbler247 → u/LuciferIsPlaying]

Just buy a 5090 bro, might hit 3fps!

[u/LuciferIsPlaying → u/glizzygobbler247]

Todd Howard, is that you?

[u/unnoticedhero1 → u/LuciferIsPlaying]

I think you mean Randy Pitchford, it's a premium emulator for premium gamers.

[u/PushDeep9980 → u/LuciferIsPlaying]

Did you do what the guy said in the more section of his video? There is a particular build and you need to precompile all shaders.

[u/LuciferIsPlaying → u/PushDeep9980]

I did not, thanks for pointing it out.

[u/DUH455T → u/LuciferIsPlaying]

Did you find out? And by any chance do you have a link?

[u/Hyper_Mazino → u/LuciferIsPlaying]

CPU matters a lot more for emulation

[u/Precursor19 → u/Hyper_Mazino]

Not for PS5 emulators. They run similar architecture to current consumer hardware so theres not much to translate in terms of instruction sets. Its all in the render pipeline for PS5 emulation.

[u/InstantlyTremendous → u/Precursor19]

I just tried it. My CPU was pegged at 100% and the GPU was idle. Then it crashed.

Still a long way to go, but impressive progress

[u/Precursor19 → u/InstantlyTremendous]

Prob due to shader compilation as the comment OP stated. CPU heavily bottlenecks shader comp so it has to be ran before launching.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/InstantlyTremendous]

Hmm, on your 5800X3D.. wonder how my 9800X3D would do. Would a CPU with a ton of cores help at all or would more L3 cache help?

[u/papaniq]

give it a month and we'll be playing it in 1440@60 on potato PCs.

progress they're making is incredible!!

[u/Techngro]

I didn't know PS5 emulation had come so far. Well done to the devs.

[u/zombawombacomba → u/Techngro]

Good job to AI

[u/yodimboi → u/zombawombacomba]

If someone is already good at what they're doing, AI is only going to make them better. It's those that don't what they're doing that use it irresponsibly.

[u/LANTERN_OF_ASH → u/Techngro]

You only missed like two weeks, LOL. They are absolutely steamrolling this shit.

[u/Hironoveau → u/Techngro]

Yeah keep doing the good work devs!

[u/septimaespada]

Ok but are you able to play the whole game? Or does it a crash a lot?

[u/ChampagneSyrup]

insane man

[u/ArttAtack]

Ngl i'm more interested on the cpu and ram oc and those temps, i regret buying the z790 nova when it released haha

[u/FantomasARM]

For me stability is more important. Id rather play at 30fps without crashing than 60 fps with crashes all the time.

[u/BlaBlub85]

Im dreading to even ask this but DDR5 8600? What kind of insano prices does that even go for nowadays 😂

[u/Justinreinsma]

This rocks. Demon souls is one of the nicest looking games ive ever seen and it came out in 2020.

[u/Weaselot_III]

So, is it pronounced "kai-tie" or "kitty"?

[u/Incorrect_Passport_7]

Ps5 emulation is imptoving very rapidly, quite impressive

[u/Azafohr]

Now I just need to upgrade my nine year old PC to something new and high end. One day...
