Need advice, in running the games faster.

to be honest, software mode on gsdx will probably be faster but yes your graphics card is bad, it is an onboard one. Get yourself a nice pci express card.

well, with that card you're probably better off with really using the software mode, it might be even faster than hardware

Is my graphic card bad? Just curious because I am thinking of getting it upgraded. Thing is I don't know where and what to search about Low and High quality graphic cards. For the Gpu the only latest one is the 0.1.9 right?

jup, the gpu is your main bottleneck, an nvidia geforce 9600/9800 or better is always a safe choice for pcsx2. with such a card you could also think about getting vista/win7 for dx10 support. what's this "0.1.9" you're speaking of?

The 0.1.9 is what I meant for the GSDX plugin. I'm just curious if there is a better one. Other than that thanks for the advice of the graphic card because I don't how many types/versions of nvidia geforce are there.

I don't know what that is unless it's one of those expansion cards that you replace with your old one.

Sorry, my lack of knowledge of computer is terrible.

0.1.9 is very far from being the latest release of gsdx, get the newest revision here. better delete all other gsdx versions from your plugions folder before trying the new one, as very old plugin versions might cause problems if mixed with a newer pcsx2 version.

pci express is the current standard slot for graphics cards, if your mainboard has one of them, you'll be able to upgrade your gpu to something more feasible for pcsx2 without having to buy a new mainboard. your mainboard manual should have this info, or post manufacturer and model name of it and i'll see what i can find out.

Woops, sorry I meant the 1.0.1.9 if that's the same that is.

So about this PCI express, should I purchase that and new upgrade for my Graphic card?

[zero29]

there is no gsdx "1.0.1.9", latest is "0.1.15 beta r1495". and to the gpu upgrade: you'll first have to make sure your mainboard has one of these "pci express" slots, cause if not you'll have to buy a new mainboard before you are able to upgrade your system with a newer graphics card.

next time try running pcsx with S3 savage 3D

Well I checked my computer from the inside I have one extra slot, but the problem is that I can't upgrade my graphic card because My mainboard doesn't have enough watts/power to handle it so I'm going to have to upgrade that too.

This is an off-based question but is it possible to play the games with a PS3 dual shock controller?
