Hi
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'll be getting a workstation grade machine next week. It's a (hold your horses) Mac Pro 5,1 from 2012.
I know it's not the best computer for gaming but that won't be its main purpose. I'd like to give rpcs3 a try though. I'll be running Windows 10 of course. It has two 6 core X5690 Westmere Xeons running at 3.33GHz and 24 threads.
I'm wondering if that's in any way better than one processor with an exceptionally high clock speed. Normally it wouldn't because games don't really benefit from having so many cores but since there's an emulation layer on top of the actual game... it might help...
The game I'd like to try is Red Dead Redemption.
What are your thoughts on this?
PS: I'm currently shopping for a second hand 1080 strix. Currently it has a Radeon 7 series GPU with one gig of VRAM. I'll try RPCS3 with the old card for funsies but I'm not expecting much performance out of it.
Thanks!
