Hello, been awhile since I posted here. I recently got a laptop with pretty good specs that I've been using to play DQ8 on. The basic spec is as follows:
I7 2670QM 2.20 ghz(3 ghz with turbo boost)
AMD 6990m 2gb
8 gb of ram
PCSX2 0.9.8
So I tried playing Persona 4 tonight for the first time. I initially had fps limit uncapped so the opening FMV past by at blazing speed. I turned the limiter on then started a new game. Now, for some reason, the FMV that followed after starting the game played played noticeably slower; it was choppy and almost in slow motion, running at about 30 fps.
As the thread title says, I noticed that the EE percentage was abnormally high. First thing I did in an attempt to troubleshoot was to turn off all speedhacks but that did nothing. I turned on Intel Turbo Boost monitor to check if it wasn't running at a lower clock speed and that wasn't it, either. If anything, the CPU usage is only ~15% with pcsx2, even with affinity set to use only two cores.
The oddest thing was that this behavior became the norm for all of my games. Games that I played fine like FFXII, DQ8, Persona 3, and Tales of the Abyss all run with EE at 100%.
