Frequently asked questions

Can Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060 handle PlayStation 2 emulation?
Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060 for PCSX2 (PlayStation 2): runs excellently. GPU score 3,700 against the emulator minimum 1,200 — headroom ×3.1; recommended internal resolution 2×–3× of native. This GPU passes the minimum of 48 out of 49 emulators in the database. More than double headroom — most games will run smoothly and you can raise the internal resolution to 2–3× for a sharper image.
Which internal resolution should I pick in PCSX2 on Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060?
For Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060 in PCSX2 the recommended internal resolution is 2×–3× of native (headroom ×3.1). Every doubling of resolution roughly quadruples the GPU load; if frame rate dips, lower the multiplier by one step.
What matters more for PCSX2 — CPU or GPU?
For PCSX2 the minimum CPU score is 2,500 and the GPU minimum is 1,200. The CPU drives the speed of emulating the console itself (the main source of dips), the GPU sets the rendering resolution. If Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060 passes the minimum but FPS is low, look at the CPU.
Is 8 GB of Zotac Trinity GeForce RTX 4060 VRAM enough for PCSX2?
At the native PlayStation 2 resolution, 8 GB of VRAM is enough for every emulator in the database. Raising the internal resolution to 3–4× and HD texture packs increase usage; the project's official recommendation: PassMark G3D ≥ 600 (min) / ≥ 6000 + 4 GB VRAM (rec.) · 1 GB VRAM or more.
How do I check my whole PC, not just the GPU?
The PCSX2 page has a "Can my PC run it" block: pick both your GPU and CPU — the verdict takes both minimums into account. The FPSHQ app for Windows detects the hardware automatically.

Methodology and sources

This page uses the FPSHQ database: the GPU and CPU catalogue with synthetic benchmark scores, official game system requirements, FPS measurements from users of the FPSHQ app and the FPSHQ performance model. Calculated values are estimates, not a measurement of your exact configuration: the real result depends on drivers, settings and the rest of the hardware. More about the methodology →
