The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator, the RPCS3, announced that version 0.0.28 brings numerous GPU performance improvements.
As the team noted, these improvements can result in a massive speedup in games (such as the Gran Turismo series) on smaller GPUs without super-fast GDDR6X memory. However, the team states that there might be diminishing returns on high-end GPUs (like the RTX 4090).
Improvements to GPU performance on weaker hardware were added on RPCS3 v0.0.28-15302
This change can result in a massive speedup in games such as GT series on smaller GPUs without super-fast GDDR6X memory, but there are diminishing returns on the highest end stuff (e.g RTX 4090)

Unfortunately, the RPCS3 team has not shared any official video for version 0.0.28. However, YouTube’s ‘Emulator + PC Gameplay’ shared three videos. In these videos, we get to see Dante’s Inferno, Demon’s Souls and Asura’s Wrath running on this latest version of RPCS3.
It’s also worth noting that RPCS3 allows you now to assign multiple keys/buttons to the same virtual buttons. Moreover, it officially supports DualSense Edge. And lastly, according to its Compatibility List, the emulator can boot all the games that came out on Sony’s console.
Those interested can download RPCS3 V0.0.28 from its official website.
For those unaware, Nekotekina, kd-11 and DH are also working on a Playstation 4 emulator for PC. Titled RPCSX, this PS4 emulator is still in a very early development stage. In other words, it does not run yet any commercial games.
Enjoy the following videos and stay tuned for more!

Well, less than frame difference at me in RdR. though Im not gpu limited
True, I just tried Killzone 2, barely any improvements at 4K or 720p on my 12400F and RTX 3050.
RTX 3050? Couldn’t go any lower than that, could you? Hahahaha
My old PC with GTX 970 + i7 6700K accidentally broke so I was forced to buy a new PC with the cheapest specs.
And what’s the problem with buying a weak PC? 99% of new gaymes nowadays are soylent trashes that aren’t worth playing, and many, many old games work even with my current weak PC at 4K/120+ FPS
You can’t play them with your weak PC, so they aren’t worth playing. Got it. Not a lot of generational wealth in your family, you’re just a poor trailer park sucker.

Cope and seethe. What sane person doesn’t hate the rainbow mafia? You must be one of those brain dead cockroaches who thinks “tHeY jUsT wAnT bE lEfT aLoNe!!!” Do you seriously think they’re not ALREADY enforcing their Satanic degenarcies in schools in front of young children?!

You’re trying to hard to distance yourself from it. Doth protest too much?! My little pedo friend.

Youtube is a toilet at this point. I don’t know what comment was there to remove considering that anything remotely confrontational gets censored by their woke algorithm.
You filthy arabs deserve to be censored.
I can smell brown skin rats like Hans landa can smell Jews.
If you’re not a sand n*gger then you’re probably one of those abhorrent looking monkeys from India or Pakistan.
Now i’m kind of sure, because the average IQ is very low in there and you just gave your ethnicity away.
You can smell brown people just like a fictitious character who doesn’t exist, well played.
Just gonna block you stupid racists.
You are being redundant ….. I’ve never met a smart Racist so calling one stupid is a bit redundant since that is the default
Just sayin’ ……
Arabs might end up very badly in Europe if they keep burning our countries down…
I tought only the left believed in the mythical “white people backlash”, but good to see some people keep the hope alive.
I’ve been on YouTube since it first existed and never been censored …. You have to try really hard to get censored in my experience
They shadow ban you first. I got this warning twice since I made this account back in 2013-15 (could be wrong).
i stopped commenting on youtube altogether, i just hit the dislike button and move on, i had my previous account banned and it was painful finding all those channels i was subbed too again
I understand emulation Ps3’s Cell Processor is hard especially when emulating various standalone SPEs . But their progress is very slow especially for a patreon funded project .
They have like 3000$ funding. Yuzu have like 20k and you bayoneta 3 still didnt worked well month after release
It has OpenGL and Vulkan backends. Works on Windows, Linux, Mac (with MoltenVK).
Has rez scaling, FPS unlock, FSR 1.0 and patches.
The vast majority of games work and work well.
Game visuals and performance is improved almost daily.
What more do you want?
That the emulator works on hardware similar to PS3 (2006).
I’m sorry wtf are you even talking about, we do’nt even have “similar hardware” to the PS3 due to being quite a unique architecture. Also if you want accurate emulation the hardware to run will probably be a lot higher than the original console
Cell was way ahead of its time . Its said that only when Naughty Dog engineers were starting to master the power of its architecture the next generation of consoles started ! If all SPEs were utilized efficiently they could surpass PS4 power but the problem was most engines were not multithreaded , still they are not especially in rendering .
The cell wasn’t ahead of it’s time. It was behind the times, trying to do something different while still being mediocre.
You’re delusional.
I update every day and not oftern i see a speed increase i have in the latest update 5-6 fps ut it seams more stable i have been playing Uncharted 3 for the last half hr and had no crashes.
dental sağlık turzimi
it’s a looong way ahead; it’s still better to just get a used ps3 and have fun with it
This is true, I feel Playstation Emulator development is behind everyone else, they only win against 3DS Emulation.
In terms of RPCS3 this called GPU improvements are useless, and everyone who is inside the actual scene knows is the CPU side that needs optimization.
You can actually see people further below in comments confirming they getting better results in the margin of error, as none of us is GPU limited whatsoever.
Thanks, Top Spin 4 works really well for me, that’s all that counts. 😄
Recently I had some trouble with Tomb Raider Legend (I just wanted to play a 3D platformer), emulated on xenia, rpcs3, the PC port, etc.. none of them looks just right, so I am thinking about Uncharted 2 on PC… hope the emulator improved, because Uncharted 2 had issues not so long ago, even on powerful CPUs (my CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600… idk man, most likely Uncharted games will look terrible anyway)
