Frame issues when playing summoner.

[Sepelio]

As the title states i am getting very severe frame issues and choppyness and certain points in the game, namely whenever i cast a spell or have a fairly large view distance, i am very poor at configuring the settings and no matter how i tweak them it doesnt seem to fix the issue, any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Hardware specs - AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz, Nvidia 9800GT, 2.00GB ddr2, Windows 7 64 bit.
The version i am using is 0.9.8.
I have all the settings back at default and that does not work either.
The game i'm trying to play currently is Summoner - and its from ISO.

Thankyou.

you'll need to use some speedhacks since your CPU will hold you back.
try setting ee cycle rate to 2 and activate all recommended speedhacks except.

Ok i did that but the issue still seems to be persisting.

what do the EE% & GS% say when you get those slowdowns ?

[Sepelio]

33-37% EE and 75-83% GS

And when i cast spells the EE drops to about 26%

try playing it on native resolution.

otherwise your stuck at playing your ps2

[smartstrike]

you probrably enabled AMD's cool and quiet??
another factor is your power plan is at "power saver" or "high performance"

How would i check those options to change them Tallbender?
