In this video race around several tracks from around the world in WRC FIA World Rally Championship for the PSP(2006). No HUD, no music, no navigator and no replays. Just the track in front of you and a time to beat.

For recording internal resolution was lowered from 3x to 2x in order to maintain a consistent 60fps video capture from our now 12-year old 2 core E8400 CPU. With a GT 710 the PPSSPP emulator allows us to choose a post-processing option. For this game we actually chose the 'bloom' effect which made for richer colors and more realistic lighting.

The PC used: HP 6000 Pro SFF desktop (from 2009)
(Windows 7 64-bit)
Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0 GHz (stock)
4 GB DDR3 Ram @ 1333 MHz
Kingston 480 GB SSD
WD 250 GB HDD (the original one)
ASUS GT 710 1GD5 silent
(downclocked from 954 to 904 MHz)*

*This is a small fanless video card with a Kepler-based GPU. It is not meant to be used for gaming but rather as a 0 decibel upgrade for a home theater or office PC. When pushed in games to 100% usage at its default clock speed of 954 MHz it can hit the 90-95 degrees C range. By downclocking to 904 MHz (only about 5% - not that much) the maximum temperature hit by the GPU is about 80-85 degrees C. I have had this card for almost 2 years and it works as good now as the day I bought it. I would suggest the Gigabyte GT 710 DDR5 with a fan if you want a version of this GPU that can be pushed a little harder - and it's one of the least expensive cards you can get.

Remember to always get the DDR5 version of this GPU and NOT the DDR3 version. The DDR5 version will be a useful improvement over integrated graphics in any desktop equipped with a Core 2 Duo or Quad (2006) all the way up to a 4th gen i3 or even i5 (2014). The DDR3 version can barely manage 2/3 the performance and many games will remain unplayable where the DDR5 version will offer up a steady and acceptable framerate at the same graphics settings.

Thanks for watching!
