It appears that the best Playstation 3 emulator that is currently under development, RPCS3, received a new update recently. kd-11 has implemented new Surface Cache fixes to RPCS3 that reportedly improve the appearance of car reflections in Gran Turismo 6, and fix various graphics glitches in other games.
As such, we’ve decided to include below some videos showing Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo 6, Wipeout HD, God of War 3 and God of War Origins Collection running on the PC via the latest version of RPCS3.
Both Gran Turismo 5 and 6 appear to be playable, however they still don’t run at full speed. They do come close to the real thing (both GT5 and GT6 had an unlocked framerate and were averaging between 40-55fps. They did not run with constant 60fps on the Playstation 3). God of War 3 also appears to be playable, though it still can’t hit 60fps.
On the other hand, Wipeout HD and God of War Origins Collection can run with 60fps on this latest version of RPCS3. Moreover, and thanks to the emulator’s ability to run games in native 4K resolutions, PC gamers can enjoy these games in their full glory (and without any jaggies).
It’s pretty amazing witnessing the progress of this Playstation 3 emulator and we seriously can’t wait until it is able to run all games at full speed.
Enjoy!

Is 9900K still the best processor for emulator stuff?
Most likely
Haven’t seen much on the new Ryzen stuff…but I don’t see why the 3600x or 3700x wouldn’t perform nearly as well (if not better depending on how the emulator cooperates).
All that matters is single threaded performance. 9900K can hit 5GHz guaranteed, bit higher if lucky. And Intel IPC is still slightly faster.
And that’s part of the issue with these emulators. That’s not going to work.
You need to simulate the primary core and the spus all at the same time, not in line, if you’re ever hoping to get good framerates.
This is why brute force is making progress, but not going to get us there. The processes should be simultaneous, not serialized.
Go ahead and tell that to the people reverse engineering and programming these emulators, I’m sure you know better.
I don’t have to. They know.
Knowing what needs to happen and being able to pull it off are very different things.
I’m not bashing on the developers of this, I’m just saying it isn’t where it needs to be and they are very aware.
Nope. Intel is officially behind Zen 2 in IPC. Intel’s only advantages now are higher clocks (which will remain fixwd like this for the following 2 years while AMD’S clock speeds will only go up) and lower ring bus latency, an advanced which will reduce even further with Zen3 next year.
Do the latest AMD CPUs still run like garbage in comparison to Intel for OpenGL-based emulators?
Milimetrically slower still, assuming the Intel rig is at 5 GHZ.
Very good, the good thing is that I will not need to spend anything to play the exclusive PS3 games with much better quality than the console itself. And soon these emulators will already be running with much more performance on more modest PCs, because the PS3 emulator, the Wii U emulator and the Xbox 360 emulator have had an incredible improvement of performance and quality in a few months !!!
I think you have longer than you think until you’ll be able to play these games at a decent clip on even the highest end PC, much less a modest PC.
These games are barely running now on a high end PC, and they’re still full of bugs and errors.
Video above, Gran Turismo 5, Emulator Team Youtube channel, PC specifications of them .:
PC Specs of Emulator Team:
? Intel i5-8500
? GTX 1660
? 8GB Ram
Gran Turismo 5, framerate, near 60fps, without the opponents cars on the track.
With the opposing cars on track, about 20 to 60 fps.
It’s a matter of time, and not so much time, until this emulator that until a few months ago was running the same games at only 5fps with much more graphics bugs and in this same PC configuration !!!
GT5 dropped into the teens in the videos above. That is NOWHERE near ready.
That i5 runs over 4GHZ, can probably be overclocked closer to 5 in the right situations (we don’t know what clocks it was at do we?).
It’s taken them many years to get this far. It’s just as many until it’s anything resembling perfect…
I mean, even old systems like PS1 and the Saturn still aren’t emulated well.
Yeah, if you rely on emulators, you won’t be able to play those exclusive games until they look outdated. Some weaker consoles like Nintendo’s are an exception, of course.
Amazing stuff. Gotta love the emulator community.
I need to buy new PC if i want using this emulator…
Currently playing Lollipop Chainsaw on this. Also played Beyond Good & Evil HD as the PC version is sht!
NCAA Football?
Gran Turismo multiplayer was one of the best things to happen to PS3
“Wipeout HD and God of War Origins Collection can run with 60fps on this latest version of RPCS3”
Sweet! Downloading now.
we have a ps3 in the house and it sucks a*s to use. thing is SOOOOO damn slow to do anything on it. Download/install games is brutal. This emulator looks damn sweet!!
Very cool they were able to do this. Eventually the games might even be able to offer an experience comparable to the original release.
