As recommended i have turn off all the fancy things and set native reults are the same as before still dipping in 40-50 fps i'm sure there has to be some misconfiguratiom on my side or is it really SOTC that demanding even at 480P ??
Also i can't for sake find enable software mode fix for ffx-2 maybe i'm blind already ??

Emulation Settings -> Manual Gamefixes -> one of the last items: Automatic switch to SW renderer while fmv plays or something like that.
For SotC set EE cycle hack to minimum and VU cycle stealing to maximum.
This is one of the small amount of games that require Vu cycle stealing.

SoTC is demanding, but your CPU should be able to handle it fairly well since it's OC'd to 4.2 GHz. Minor slowdowns could still occur, but not something as drastic as 20 FPS.
Enable the MTVU Speedhack if you haven't already. That should at least help a bit if it's not enabled.
You also mentioned a 'custom driver' for ATI. I would try an official driver just for testing purposes to see if it improves things.
The i5-4670K has AVX2 support btw, so use AVX2 for SW mode (Not the regular AVX, although it's weird that it's giving you errors.)

if you prefer smoothness then, disable all the speedhacks. That might give you a more accurate fps reading compared to using VU stealing which, adds to the EE cycle counter whenever a VU related program has been run. which in case, limits the amount of VU functions executed per frame and causes a inaccurate FPS reading.

Sotc is quite demanding. you would have to consider overclocking your processor for better fps.
