Hi,

Looking for some tips in order to get FFX to run at full speed on my PC. Here is my details copied from the log. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: Should add that the FMV's run at 50fps but actual gameplay lags at around 35-40 fps.

Start by checking 'native' in GSdx, that intel HD graphics chip is abysmal for any kind of rendering. Enable the recommended speed hacks and that's all. It WILL lag during heavy effects and in various places, since your CPU is weak as well.

Thanks mate. Got the native enabled. Guess it's just one of those things, eh? Buy a brand new PC 2 months ago and can't even run at full speed lol.

Well you might have got it 2 months ago but I guess you got your money's worth (ie not much )
