The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator, the RPCS3, announced that version 0.0.28 brings numerous GPU performance improvements.
As the team noted, these improvements can result in a massive speedup in games (such as the Gran Turismo series) on smaller GPUs without super-fast GDDR6X memory. However, the team states that there might be diminishing returns on high-end GPUs (like the RTX 4090).
Improvements to GPU performance on weaker hardware were added on RPCS3 v0.0.28-15302

Unfortunately, the RPCS3 team has not shared any official video for version 0.0.28. However, YouTube’s ‘Emulator + PC Gameplay’ shared three videos. In these videos, we get to see Dante’s Inferno, Demon’s Souls and Asura’s Wrath running on this latest version of RPCS3.
It’s also worth noting that RPCS3 allows you now to assign multiple keys/buttons to the same virtual buttons. Moreover, it officially supports DualSense Edge. And lastly, according to its Compatibility List, the emulator can boot all the games that came out on Sony’s console.
Those interested can download RPCS3 V0.0.28 from its official website.
For those unaware, Nekotekina, kd-11 and DH are also working on a Playstation 4 emulator for PC. Titled RPCSX, this PS4 emulator is still in a very early development stage. In other words, it does not run yet any commercial games.
