well
then they should make it use it
do you have any idea how powerful modern gpu's are?

"Solely cpu dependant" would be the wrong way to put it.

What i mean is, the gpu is way not as flexible in what u can program it to do compared to a cpu, and because the PS2 gpu is so different from a PC gpu, they cannot program the PC gpu to emulate the PS2 gpu, so currently only a very small portion of the emulation of the PS2 gpu is actually done using the PC gpu.

Basically, the cpu has to emulate both the PS2 cpu and a majority of the PS2 gpu, and coupled with the fact that a cpu emulating a gpu would probably be inefficient, and emulation overall is inefficient, u need an extremely strong cpu. Your gpu speed really doesn't matter, as it will be the cpu which is bottlenecking the overall emulation speed... well, as long as ur gpu is not TOO spoon (my integrated with power comparable to a geforce 3 does fall into that "TOO spoon" category.)

yeas I see but then they should make the emulator compatible with modern GPUs.. if someone were to write a ps2 emu using CUDA it should be easy to reach 100%+ speed (but you would need a geforce 8 card..)
