i tried playing kingdom of hearts and GOW and the FPS is just so low
fps drops down to 20 or less when i start playing
im not sure what settings do i use
please help me

thank you for reading

You have a quad-core CPU that supports AVX , so:
• In the plugins-selection, choose "GSdx AVX".
• In "Config > Emulation Settings > Speedhacks", set\enable "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)".
• In the GSdx configuration ("Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings..."), set "Extra rendering threads" to 4.

Also your graphic-card supports DirectX11, so choose "Direct3D 10" or "Direct3D 11"
(which ever that shows in the Renderer menu) in the GSdx configuration.

still not good.....it fps still drops to 20

Sorry lilnes, but your laptop just isn't strong enough to run PCSX2 at a decent framerate. Your CPU is clocked at only 2.2 per core, which is the cause for the low FPS - PS2 emulation requires a strong processor (and if you want to use the graphic scaling options, a good graphics card too).
