Final Fantasy IX Performance - 2D Performance



The menu after the battle.


There are plenty of menus in Final Fantasy games, and not a little time is spent dealing with items and characters from the menu system. This is a pure 2D sprite test and it runs at full framerate.


We see another large discrepancy in speeds here, but this time the 5950 falls above the 9600 XT, which makes a little bit more sense. It is still clear that the Radeon architecture is better able to emulate the pure 2D portion of the game though.


Here again, it looks like we have hit a platform architecture limit on both the AMD and Intel fronts. The VIA based AMD platform has a little more than a 5.5% lead over the Intel 875P platform.

    ePSXe is pretty much the standard if you are trying to play original Playstation games. Any modern system can run them pretty much full speed but I think this is just yet another piece of a neverending puzzle in comparing different graphics cards. Some people will find data like this important.

    I found ePSXe a while back and replayed Chrono Cross, one of the best RPGs out there imho. ePSXe runs pretty well on my laptop with the Intel 855 onboard graphics and it would be nice to know how the emulator runs on integrated graphics chipsets/laptops (mini-itx boards, onboard Via, Intel, Sis, Ati, nVidia chipsets) in addition to normal cards like the ones tested here.

    ePSXe for Android is a very modest version of the classic PlayStation One emulator for PC that works perfectly on Android devices. Can I use <a href="https://apkwebs.com/download-epsxe/">ePSXe Apk</a> on my One-plus android phone?
