Hey guys, I'm new to Pcsx2 and need a little help. I am using the new 0.9.7 version and the games are running really slow. I have used the configuration guide and tried both zero and gsdx plugins. Nothing seems to speed up the games. I am jumping from 20 fps to 100 fps, all over the board. I am running an AMD Phenom II x4 965 black edition at 3.4ghz, Nvidia 9800gt, 8 gigs of ram and windows 7 x64. I have tried multiple settings on gsdx as I wanted to run with directx 10. I have updated video card drivers as well as directx. Nothing seems to make much difference. There should be no reason why this won't run a steady 70fps as far as I can see. I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Thanks.

P.S. I've also read many threads on this website and couldn't find any info that helped either. Tired of playing with configurations, thought I'd go to the pro's Smile
pcsx2 settings ?
wich game are you trying to run ?
I've tried Madden 11 and NBA 2k11 they both run the same. Here's a pic of my settings also.
I am hoping to get this running prior to family comes for Christmas. We are gonna have tournaments with these two games. Would be nice to have multiple systems running at once.
Are you running the games from the original disc? If so make ISOs of your games and run them from there.

You still haven't posted your PCSX2 settings just your plugins. NBA 2k11 runs "fine" with the VU cycle stealing speedhack.
I'm using ISO's for the games.. here are my settings.
