Can't reach 40 fps

[Antares]

Hi to all good guys, i need your help!
I downloaded Pcsx for only 1 reason:
Play with FFX...

i search a lot in this forum and in many others..but i didn't fiound anything usefull...
so here is my problem...

i have a desktop pc with
win xp
quad core 9600 2.3 Ghz ---> SSE2, SSE3 but not SSSE3 and better
nvidia geForce 8600 gts
4 GB ram (i know, 1 GB is useless in xp 32 bit)

my plugin are:

GSdx 890 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.14
lilypad 0.9.11
gigaherz's cddvd plugin 0.7.0
zero spu2 0.4.4

i have ALL speed hack checked with 3x cycke rate
and all cpu setting checked (i read the guide^^)

i have a ffx iso from my original game
and my version of pcsx2 is 0.9.6 obviusly...
so..i start the emulation and my top speed is 35 fps, but the average is still under 30 fps!

please help!

disable those speed hacks. even without them I get 45fps, and my pc is weaker than yours. but with Vista

Check the native box in the graphics plugin for better speeds.

I cant think of anything other than that.

The amd cpu lets it down cause u cant use SSSE3 or better and ur stuck with SSE2.

i have already tried...with native resolution i had no speed increased and the worst resolution ever with a lot of aliasing...

and if i disable the speed hacks the result is a frame rate at 20fps

i tried a lot of kosmos plugin...but nothing...

i don't know... overclocking my cpu could be usefull?

make sure you have MTGS enabled, your system should easily manage 50ish fps

Try pcsx2 0.96 beta r.1045 or above, try new hack (vu cycle stealing and i loop), gsdx r.1006 0.1.15 since your card support directx.10 so try that game in os vista (directx.10 mode at gsdx plugin).
