How powerful is my laptop for almost any emulators including PCSX2 and Dolphin

[Santana2011]

I have a 2019 ASUS Rog Strix G531Gt laptop with Intel core I7-9750H with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 with 8GB of RAM i got at a local pawn shop for $500 just a few days ago(it was $600 at first, but they drop it for $500, so a good deal i say) . How good it is for emulation for consoles including Switch and PS3 games? Because i recently tried out a few PS2 games including God of War 2 and GTA San Andreas and they worked perfectly so far on PCSX2, I do have to leave the laptop plugged in tho for full speed Perfomance, i guess because the reason why it was stuttering when playing it unplugged to save battery life/throttling i think. But anyways, is this decent enough for emulation?

Honestly, I have no idea, but I can emulate all PS2 titles at 720p with Batocera on a 2014 Dell Vostro I bought for $50, so I imagine your laptop won't have any problems with any game. Maybe one or two Wii games.

Should be good at native res for PCSX2, methinks.

As for dolphin, I'm running a shitty laptop with an intel egpu and a 7th gen I3 and I can run Super Mario Galaxy just fine.

The Laptop is pretty decent into playing Dolphin and Pcsx2.

With the specs, I’d say from the PS2 era back (Dreamcast, wii, gamecube, ect..) no problem... Not even going to mention 8 and 16 bit systems it will blow those out of the water... probably with some great upscaling and such.

PlayStation 3 is about where it will stutter a bit, I would say PS3 is doable... maybe some light switch games, probably with some tweaks and only at native resolution, and kept plugged in. Not a bad laptop, to be honest, for 500 bucks.

I think you will be able to run switch emulator if you later upgrade your RAM to 16GB.

but with 8, i don't think it will work.

for everything bellow it, you must be fine. (not very sure about PS3)

about the performance, consider taking a laptop base with cooler to help, they are cheap and can help the temperature, helping the cpu clock to not go down because of heat.

also check the power plan to be "max performance" when pluged.
