Well that one looks very very wrong, nothing like it should look. Does a (Software) renderer look the same? try also without MTGS enabled and with GSdx SSE2 just for comparing, also as recommended before try the latest beta.
Have you looked with a software like CPU-Z or Coretemp if the cpu speed stays as it should while running the game?

Yeah you're right didn't notice that! I'd say update your graphics card drivers, directX too. If those do nothing, get the latest beta and try again: http://pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=publicbeta
Edit: I just remembered that texture corruption could be caused by Anti Aliasing being enabled from your drivers. Try going to your nvidia CP and disabling it there
I made an account just to post this, but I'm able to get a solid 60 fps on FFX without frameskip on my laptop.
C2D T7300
Geforce 8400m-gs
I don't know what GPU you are using. but I use the GSdx 890 with ssse3. I found any version beyond that drops my fps by 20 frames. I dunno why, maybe its just cuz it's beta code. But regardless, the drivers that come in the current 0.9.6 installer have been the best drivers for playing on so far.
So the driver-forced AA was the problem?
This is odd, because you need to follow a different code path in GSdx to have AA activated.
Did you add the msaa flag to the GSdx.ini by chance?
