Greetings.
I just got a new gaming laptop and I am attempting to run DQ8 on PCSX2 thus far with disastrous results. My rig:
Intel i7 @2.5
GTX 970m
I am running PCSX2 v 1.21
BIOS USA - v 2.2
GS - GSDx32-avx-r5875
Lilypad-r5875
SPU2-x
I am running at around 45-60fps but the game is SUPER choppy! Is my GPU just too weak? Or am I doing something wrong?

GPU is fine, What specific i7?
Also play while plugged in and set Windows power plan to high performance and enable MTVU.

Operating System = Microsoft (build 9200), 64-bit
Physical RAM = 16333 MB
CPU name = Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
Vendor/Model = GenuineIntel (stepping 03)
CPU speed = 2.493 ghz (8 logical threads)
I have been playing while plugged in so far.
My pcsx2 settings are as follows:
Adapter = Default hardware device (I also tried selecting NVidia GTX970M with no variation)
Direct3D9 (I also tried 11 with no variation in results)
Interlacing = Auto
PS2 Resolution = Native
Texture filtering = on
Allow 8bit texture = on
enable HW Hacks = on
All other settings in GS are set to "Default" -- I tried messing around with some speedhacks but I didn't really see any difference.
When I move the character around, the game lags quite horribly. It's very choppy, and essentially unplayable as is currently.

What are your GS% and EE% readings while you observe lags?

It seems GS is constantly at 80-100% and VU is 70-90%. EE goes down to 70% during the lag spikes.
I am getting tons of lag drops to 40fps, which is making the game unplayable.

Hey guys good news... after adjusting to "high performance" power plan... removing 8-bit, and adjusting all settings to default, with only "mtvu" activated, I am now running at a solid 60fps!
Too bad it took my entire last day of my weekend to get it running!
Better late than never I suppose!
Being an adult sucks! Back to work tomorrow, lol!

what mode you were using ? hardware or software ? if you prefer native resolution. you could also try using software mode +3 rendering threads.
