FPS drop

[burgboi]

Im new to this emulator. Ive read the config guides and finally got everything working. I load the game and its at 60 FPS. When I get into actual gameplay, it drops to 10 FPS. I have tried playing NFL Street 3 and GTA: San Andreas.

Change the Power Options setting to Performance and use the power outlet when you play games.

Also keep the latop on a well aired surface as it will get very hot and attempt to slow itself down.

Try getting a cooling pad for the laptop and set the frameskip.

PCSX2 settings? plugin settings? what do the EE/GS numbers in game window say when you get slowdowns?

i just tried the frameskip. i set it to constant 2/2 and it actually helped a lil bit. FPS only dropped to 18 instead of 10.

Looks like your graphics card is too weak for PCSX2, what card is it anyway?

Try ticking the "Native" checkbox in GSdx and enabling/disabling the "allow 8-bit textures" one.

Find this on the net:

The graphics card is not mentioned, so it can't be anything but the crappy Intel HD .

intel hd can handle games like soul calibur and black at 15-50 fps depending upon game area, player view angle angle etc.....games like resident evil outbreak and downhill domination are playable at native res at 60 fps constant.....when windowed nt fullscreen

---

also if its intel hd graphics then use custom profiles in graphics properties and set to performance and max performance at power menu in the sane
