My battles in very um... BIG places are around 30-40, battles like the one in besaid wasn't THAT bad like 50-55. but if i'm wakling around highroad i'm SURE i'm gona get 30 fps, since when I was walking around zanarkand at the start where tidus goes pffft to his dad's picture on the building and starts walking across and some announcer guy talks about how much his dad loves tidus's father lol. that was slowww and 30 fps lol. Whats ur settings at ryu? Maybe I can combine mine with urs lol.
The question is, what exactly do you play? I can run Mass Effect for PC maxed out, but FFX-2 performance sucks. Consider that.
An 8600GT is not powerful, relatively. Games ran fine for me on a 2.4GHz quad, but PCSX2 only uses 2 threads, anyway, so I might as well be running a dual. I use an OC'ed 8800GT.

As for where to find GSDX,

The sound will slow down with the framerate because the audio is sync'd to the video feed. Most PC-games use time-based rendering, so framerate doesn't matter, but PS2 Games are essentially FRAME-BASED, so you want the framerate as close to 60 (or 50 in Europe) as possible.
