PS3 copies are unfortunately rare for this game but they can be found and it's one of your best bets for a game that should run well on lesser machines.

If you don't have the best machine in the world but want to try running a game in RPCS3 with good performance, I would recommend tracking down a copy of this game to dump it and run it in RPCS3. The last time I uploaded a video of it was quite some time ago, but performance has improved drastically since then, even though it was still fine back then. This means The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon running in RPCS3 is the first Spyro game to be FULLY playable at high refresh rates.Īlso, I have personally been using this game as my main performance benchmarking game for RPCS3 since it's been fully playable and performing well for a long time. I have the game capped at 144 FPS just to save on my computer's resources while recording and to use G-sync while playing but the game will run fine when completely uncapped, I've tested it and have seen it break 144 FPS in a few areas.Īs a fun side note, Spyro Reignited Trilogy on PC, released in 2019 and developed in Unreal Engine 4, while officially supporting high refresh rates in it's options menu, actually suffers from a lot of issues when running at high refresh rates, and even some when running at 60 FPS. With G-Sync/Freesync, this game looks really smooth on a high refresh rate monitor.Īs with before, unfortunately you can't actually see how smooth the game looks in this state through this video due to YouTube limitations, but I have a performance display up so the performance can still be absorbed. In addition, unlike Sonic Unleashed, this game actually performs really well most of the time, staying above 60 FPS and even around the 100-120 FPS range a lot of the time too. Another game that can run at an uncapped frame rate in RPCS3 without any fan patch or in-game issues.
