FFXII fps drops

[benno]

Hey!

I'm new to this forum and I've already read the post about not asking "will my hardware run it?" - yet I'm unsure if it IS because of my hardware is too weak (I'm playing on a Laptop) or because i lack some proper configuration?

Anyway my problem is that fps in FFXII varies between 30/45 to 60 (FPS limited) which doesn't satisfy me
Let's start with some PC Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 @ 2.00GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce 9600GT
320GB HDD SATA, not sure about the RPM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

I'm not sure how to post my PCSX2 configurations since i can't find a "copy to clipboard" button anywhere, please help me with this
Hopefully i haven't pissed anyone off by asking these questions

best regards
Benno

your configuration is in (pcsx2.ini" post its content.
but yes, your CPU is quite weak

thanks, and yeah the cpu being too weak, that what i was afraid about :-( also FFXII pushed the PS2 quite much back in time, is FFXII a heavy game to emulate?

[Grimspiller]

speedhacks and native.

[benno]

alright, uhm... i already have the native in-game resolution checked and which speedhacks should i try? just some random combination?
