I find plugins are often erratic when it comes to software mode, with a version being much faster than some others.
I remember playing Shadow Hearts 1 pretty well with software mode, and then having to look a long time for my old plugins because new ones had 20 less fps or some such.
Nowadays, it sort of works with GSDX r1873.
Got the same problem with tales of legendia, with said plugin giving 20 more fps, however i was wondering if there was an ever better one, as it seems to be at best around 48 (definitely playable, but if it's just a matter of finding old plugins...).
Anyone has found the same erratic development in software mode, and knows which revision is best?

No... those games work better with software renderer and he's asking if there's a faster software renderer than the current GSdx one.
As far as I know older software renderers would be just slower and much buggier, current ones should be the best speed you get (try the latest beta plugins but it shouldn't be much different really).

In what conditions what?

Not here, about as fast for both games with the r1873 and r2715 for example. When I mentioned older I meant before betas actually.

Could be something else, like vsync... are you using a 0.9.7 build to test the changes? Do you build your own GSdx? Does it do the same with for example the GSdx included in the latest public beta pack (r2693)?
If anything you could try to track the issue to a specific revision and report the problem.

Like u said, some games work better with software renderer mode. Can u explain ? Or that's too complicated ? sorry if this offtopic, and i'm a little overboard.
