Good evening guys.
I'm Claudio, a pleasure to meet you all. Here's the thing: I had the great idea to play again one of my favourite PS2 titles, which is Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix.
I'll start off with my PC specs:
EVGA NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970
AMD FX 8320 w/ Cooler Master Hyper 212x ( stock clock )
16GB of DDR3 RAM 1600HZ
250GB SSD
1TB HDD
I've noticed something odd - the game feels really slowed down or kinda choppy. I've firstly tried with the latest version of PCSX2 downloaded from the original website, the 1.4.0. The game, via Afterburner, showed a costant 59.9 FPS but it looked to me like a sluggish 40-50, expecially in the first combat against Seifer. I've also noticed a slow camera rotation, which you all can notice if it's smooth or choppy ( meaning 60 fps or lower ).
Since most of the online guides I've found were made on the 1.2.1 version, I decided to give it a shot finding also something about "60 FPS HACK", but I didn't notice any difference with or without it.
What I'm asking here guys is:

What I'm asking here guys is:
- Can I run this awesome title at 60 FPS?
- If not, what can I do to prevent slowdowns or "inappropriate" performances, considering ( IMHO ) that I'm running this on a capable PC?
- Since I wanna make a clean setup, do you have any tips about version and plugins to run ( with settings too maybe ) ?
