Can't reach 40 fps

[Antares]

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).

il try new plugin and the beta...but my os is xp!!
now i try!

pcsx20dev1039 GSdx r 1006, dx9 Hmode

30-50 fps semi-stable with LOTS of other 3d apps running in the backround.

consider that a goal to reach. (vista btw)

[Antares]

nothing...
update the plugin (and the directx)
use the beta but nothing...exactly the same...

fps between 25 and 33...

pcsx2 show me that cpu is working at 80% but task manager show me about 50%...
is this because pcsx2 works with 2 core max?

I have 2 @ 2.2, using native I got that. where in the game are you?

[Antares]

the beginning... the opening scene...
it's unplayable at that fps...

[Saiki]

oh the first fights? demi is the only thing that hits me. and FFX unplyable at 20fps? in what definition of the word? geeze..

[Antares]

uh? i didn't start the game at all!! tidus was moving in "slow motion"...
saying "listen to my story" takes about 15 seconds to my tidus...that's not playable...
