Low fps in most games?

[ichimaxru]

hi to everyone, first i gonna say, sorry for my bad english but spanish is my native language.

btw i open this thread because im a newbie with the emu and i dont know if is my pc or my configuration but most of the games i been tested works very bad, here is the list
my pc spec:
Athlon II x2 @ 3ghz
2,5gb ram
geforce 8400

and the games
KH runs at 60fps with perfect graphics
the same for KH2 and KOF XI
but Steambot chronicles run at 10-15fps
pride FC 10-15fps
Valkyrie chronicles 2 20-30fps
persona 4 30-40fps
battle stadium D.O.N. 20-30fps
and many others games that run between 10-40fps
and that makes unplayables only persona, KH and KOf are the only games that i can play

all you can do is to try the latest beta from this page ( pcsx2 1888),but im afraid your gpu is a little weak,so try to run all your games in native mode under gsdx,and also enable some speedhacks and see if you can squezee some more fps

i did that but i cant see any diference, same frames but little changes in the graphics, but is my gpu?, the cpu is ok? because i want to upgrade my videocard if is necesary, already i can play any pc game at full speed, but i want more the ps2 games, what gpu would be ok for run the emu well?

Any video card that is better or as good as 9600gt will be fine for pcsx2 if you don't plan to play at some huge resolution such as 2048x2048. Also, keep an eye on the video card usage, if it is run at 99% most of the time, you video card will be the reason for the low fps assuming there is no other bug or some major compatibility issues in the game. In such case, you can't really don't much other than replacing a new and more powerful video card.

I have the same setup as you but have a 9600gt card instead.

BTW your Athlon II X2 is it a 5500+ or the 240+ series? Mines a 240 Regor OCed to 3.2ghz and a 2gb stick of ram. I read that the 5500 isnt too good with the emu xcept for 2d games.

I can run persona 4 with no hacks on 50-60fps most of the time. Try getting a better video card. It could help

AMD Athlon II x2 @ 3ghz should be a 250.

CPU is ok but don't expect 60fps in more demanding games (like Persona4).
The vga card is the bigger problem here. It should be replaced.

yep is a 240 OC to 3ghz and what video card will be ok for the emu? 9500 or 9600 will be ok?

As long you don't intend playing in bigger resolution, i think 9600 is fine enough for you.

Dont get the 9500 it sucks. Get a 9600gt ddr3 or higher.
