Console Emulators: Our Newest Benchmark

Final Fantasy IX Performance - The World Map
The location benched on the World Map.
This is a full 3D landscape environment with some framebuffer effects (in this case, rain). The FRAPS reported frame rate is about 33% of the emulator reported framerate.
In this benchmark, GPU seems to have less impact than CPU (as seen in the next graph), but the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra has finally crept out from under the pile. Of course, that doesn't mean as much considering the fact that the performance delta from top to bottom is only 3 frames per second.
Here, we see both the AMD Athlon 64 processors leading the Intel bunch. With all the Intel processors essentially pushing 66 frames per second (almost 200fps in the emulator), this seems like it could be a platform limitation. The added speed and cache of the 3.4GHz EE not adding any benefit at all indicates that there is a bottleneck somewhere else in the system. All we can do right now is to give a sidelong glance at the motherboard and wonder, but we don't have any conclusive evidence of what is going on here yet.

I didnt see this one commin! Cool idea guys. Ive never really seen this done to any extent on a hardware site before.gaidin123 - Thursday, March 4, 2004 - link
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.
