Do you have any background in this? For learning, I won't support piracy, yada yada, etc. I'm testing my Xeon 1270v2 but it's not working well. With time and no AVX512 support, it's really challenging.

RPCS3 doesn't always provide a seamless experience for all titles. Likely, your best results come from using 3D versions of the Zen5 CPUs, especially if they maintain AVX512 support.

I lack practical exposure to RPCS3, yet the advice I've encountered usually suggests 8-core or 16-core processors from Intel's 10th generation onward.

Based on my observations, Xenia runs more smoothly on my system. She consistently achieves around 30 to 50 frames per second on RDR1. It seems she performs better with a NVIDIA GPU.

Your 8700k performed exceptionally well, especially with demon souls never dropping frames. It also ran smoothly in Zelda botw on Cemu with 4.7 core and 4.5 ring speed—120 locked and 60 demon souls locked. Any of those settings would definitely suit you.

Ani mentioned a minimum of R5 3600, though an 8-core setup would be preferable. The OP might manage with a weaker CPU, but 60fps wouldn’t be typical. RPCS3 really gains from AVX512, yet most users favor Ryzen options. The R5 3600 is the baseline, but newer Ryzen models like 5600/x offer better value and are slightly faster. AVX512 isn’t essential, just helpful. : p
