These are recommended specs for using PCSX2,<ref>https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2#system-requirements</ref> but depending on the game you want to play; your mileage may vary.

Note: Recommended GPU is based on 3x Internal, ~1080p resolution requirements. Higher resolutions will require stronger cards; 6x Internal, ~4K resolution will require a [https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html PassMark G3D Mark] rating around 12000 (GeForce RTX 2060, Radeon RX 6600 or Intel Arc A750). Just like CPU requirements, this is also highly game dependent.
