Pcsx2 Running very slow , Fps?? Help!!

HDD does affect the loading speed (such as scene changes), that's why I put it doesn't affect a lot. Majority on CPU and GPU for emulator tho

Did you mean the file system for disk drive? Like NTFS, FAT, FAT32 ? who knows or maybe the capacity ? Maybe we can experiment on the HDD by having an amount of 320GB HDD, and then we make 3 disk drive at each different file system. And then, we put the same games into each drive and we test it out to see the difference ? the 1st hdd is using IDE and 2nd is using SATA (don't know if IDE got 320GB though), and SCSI for the third one (the most fastest HDD, got 15400 RPM)

Sorry, it looks like I'm too much cause we know that HDD is only a minority condition.

My guess is that anything higher than 7200rpm wouldn't see any realistic increase. I'm only speculating, but I think the games are only gonna try and load so fast. Maybe not at 7200rpm, but eventually the HDD would be "bottlenecked" by the maximum speed the emulator can or will attempt to read data at, kinda like "native" PS2 data reading speed.

well if u got a monster pc that gets 500 fps then yes hdd will slow things down for just 0,5 sec in heavy loading. even an old hdd 5400rpm of 6 years before can make it hdd is all about other staff u do with pc. not emulating pcsx2 xD
and the ps2 data reading speed sucks so much that in my opinion even a memory stick would do the work at a fair time (ok u would have to w8 a little but i hope u get my point) and well we got really off topic lets w8 for him to reply!

Oh yeah, the topic!

Well , I don't know much about graphics cards and how to know what kind it is , but when i look at Device Manager in Display Adapters it's:
Mobile Intel® 45 Express Chipset Family.

Is this the Graphics Card?

Hmmm, doesn't tell me exactly. Could you maybe just post you laptop's model? It's a "Lenova" what?

is what he got.

probably the 1st.

That is a GMA945/950 Express Chipset. Intel never make great graphics card.

[Rezard]

Ummm, I'm pretty sure those aren't graphic cards... I get the "Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD" part, but the "Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset" doesn't mean he has one (as his graphics card).

My laptop has the "Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset".

That's a graphics card! An extemely bad one for PCSX2. It does actually have a 2.0 Pixel Shader, but that's just enough to get the emulator to run. Sorry to say it, but if that's the GPU, all hope goes out the window.

Well, at least you can still play Devil May Cry 4 PC game <- one of demanding game

Agreed. At least there's a Pixel Shader, too. I tell ya, PC gaming is rough without one (and T&L). Trust me, I had a laptop with a Intel 855GME, and it was sad...
