Can Someone Help Me? Extreme Lag!

Yeah no, I was writing the post when you ninja'd me, should have use quote though.

Both those games are pretty intensive games afaik, your only chance to play them flawlessly is to OC that CPU to the max.

Right, I'm not exactly looking for flawless play. 40FPS+ constant would be ideal though.

Alright With EEcycle rate at 1 and VU Cycle stealing at 2 the game [ratchet and clank 2] is playable! It lags in areas that are extremely large like level 2 outside and it also lags when lots of things are going on, enemies, cool large animated structures, etc.

At this rate though the game is definitely playable! Probably a 40 FPS constant just like what I was looking for. The FPS thing is still not working

Alright, is there anything else I can do at all for more speed? I have rendering threads at 3 because I read on another thread that was best for four core processors. And I listed the speed hacks above. I also am using Direct3D11 [Software] as my GPU plugin! no interlacing and no Anti Aliasing.

set aspect ratio to 4.3 instead of 16.9
it gives an increase in framerate

Are you at native resolution? Native res really helps reduce a lot of lag.

Yes I have native res and 4:3

oh Hey you guys! Have any good recommendations on games I actually COULD play at proper speed and such?
