For the life of me I cannot get PCSX2 to run any game at reasonable speed, have read numerous posts around these forums and others and no matter what I try game has terribly low FPS.
Main PC specs:
Windows 8 Pro x64 (tested also on Windows 7 x64)
ASUS M5A97 Pro
AMD FX-8120 Black Edition@ 3.9Ghz (8 cores 8 threads)
8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz Patriot Viper
128Gb Samsung 830 SSD
2GB ATI Sapphire HD 6950 (870/1300)
I get 60fps in menus and videos but in game drops down usually anywhere to 12-17fps. Obviously there is not a lot of intense rendering going on in the menus but surely my system can handle PS2 emulation.
I thought maybe because I was running off the game discs it might be slow so I backed a few up to ISO and ran of the SSD and it made barely no difference. The games run fine on my PS2 so safe to say that the discs are not in too bad condition.
Games tried:
Fifa 2008
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Simpsons Hit and run
Tekken 5
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw
I have more but am not going to dig them out if I cannot play them on my PC.
PCSX2 settings I am using:

Whilst I was writing this post I continued to change some settings and now I get about 30-40fps but it still feel like 10fps, it runs slow and laggy and the sound is crackly.
Am I am expecting too much from this emulator or is it actually possible to have 60fps running smooth? What can I change to make this happen?
Please dont link to the guides I have been other numerous different ones and still no luck.
Thanks in advance
