Hey all
My first new post here in a fair while.
Anyways I currently have the following PC setup:
Intel Core i7 920 2.67GHZ
3GB Ram
And prior to a few days ago I was using a:
Radeon HD 5670
And most games were running pretty well. Not all, but enough. In particular I've been playing through the .hack series (first the 5 SIGN games then I moved onto the GU series) and am currently playing .hack GU part 3, which was running at 50-60 fps for the most part.
Then on Saturday I upgraded to a Radeon HD 7950 (in order to play PC games in better settings mostly) and whilst I have noticed a significant improvement in the PC games I play, the same cannot be said of PCSX2. Speeds in .hack GU 3 have dropped quite sharply to 25-60 in town and dungeon locations of the game.
Note that I am using rev 5269 of the emulator and the latest version of GSDX (rev 5268).
This is the first time for me where a PC upgrade has resulted in worser speeds in a program than before. Any help would be most welcome.
I've tried reverting to earlier revisions to test if it was something to do with the latest revision but encountered the same issues. I'm playing with speed hacks (INTC spin, Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag hack and the MTVU hack) on just as I did prior to the upgrade.
On switching gfx cards I uninstalled all nvidia drivers on my PC which caused me some issues when attempting to compile the latest rev but I reinstalled the cg toolkit.
Is there anything I can do besides switching back to the inferior gfx card or am I pretty much screwed?
