Ehr, not so much disabled functions but just skipping drawing the data that doesn't currently do well with the plugin and DirectX would just glitch with. Too big/small texture, wrong texture used, alpha blends in the GS, stuff like that which just glitches in addition to DirectX, not sure if there'll ever be a right fix for that but for now the easy way (or the only way? ionno) is to skip that data or get stuff like this instead:
Core i5 3570k -- Geforce GTX 670 -- Windows 7 x64

Do you remember what version of Gsdx/Pcsx2 had post processing enabled? I remember playing DragonQuestVIII a few years back,i t had almost no visual problems and characters had shadows
But i think i deleted that version
Do you remember which version had it?
@Thanks rama, im going to check it out
@rama Only works in Software Mode, which for me is 15-20fps
Got a feeling it was the old playground version that worked in hardware with shadows
V
Msi GF-62VR
Intel core i7 7700hq @2.8(3.5ghz turbo) Nvidia 6gig GTX1060 16 gigs DDr5 windows 10

omnikam: This particular game gets the shadows back by setting skipdraw to "1".

Thanks for all the help guys. Turns out that Mozilla refuses to open that link for whatever reason. Opened it in IE and it worked first time. Guess IE does some things right.

why Gsdx is more gpu power hungry than all games programs that have a gpu hunger

Because emulation always requires more than the system you're emulating.
Another thing to consider is the fact that unlike games designed for PCs, the system you're emulating you can't drop frames.
To be a bit more clear... if you're playing Crysis 2 and your graphics can't run a constant 60fps the game will drop frames. If your system can't run the game very well even if you're dropping a lot of frames you can turn the graphics quality down to make it easier for your system. When emulating console games, you can't do that. You have to maintain at least the minimum quality as it's done on the console. While it's true you can raise/lower resolution, you're doing that as enhancements to what's there, not lowering it beyond baseline PS2 levels.

here is a thing that i hate emulation requires more power than the thing emulated have like ps3 have 8 cores so i am going to wait for a 16 core cpu ( wow that is going to be huge on my motherboard ) and the emulator to become stable which is sucks
