Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I have to warn you that this is yet another post asking for help speeding up my PCSX2, however I've tried to avoid being a noob and I've attempted to look up answers and read the "read me first" posts.
I have a nice computer with these general specs:
AMD phenom II 3.4 ghz processor
8 gigs ram
AMD radeon HD 6800 series
Windows 7 64 bit
I just downloaded the latest version of the stable PCSX2 (0.9.8). My problem is that no matter what game i run, i get around 30 fps. I've tried star wars battlefront 2, dynasty warriors 5, and Gran Turismo 3. Now I know that games will never run at full speed, but I've seen youtube videos of people running Gran Turismo four at full speed (with fraps slowing down their system)! Is it just that my processor is not good? I feel there's some setup I'm missing.
Fixes that I've tried already are playing around with various speed hacks, changing the resolution of the GS plugin, changing from Direct3d11 Hardware to Direct3d9 Hardware (does 10 work better? If so how do you get it), and lowering the options in the audio plugin. These all seem to change nothing, except when i change the GS plugin to null, in which case i get bumped up from 30 to 45 fps, but i can't see anything on the screen
.
Any help would be appreciated if anyone reads this, I know it must get annoying to get these kinds of posts but I'd love to enjoy this great program. Thank you all, and thanks to the developers of the plugins/software.
