Um and im not playing ps2 games in iso. format
im using real ps2 discs

[jesalvein]

make isos from your PS2 discs, then. You'll get a huge speedboost

There was a specific set of GSDx revisions that gave ATI cards a pretty hefty speedboost...anyone happen to know which ones they were?

Other than that, you'll need to use some speed hacks, and probably a processor overclock. God of War is decently demanding.

Use Lastest Beta and Plugins anddd...

Use DX10 or 9 Hardware Mode (if still geting low fps try See2) from Config

Config>SpeedHacks tick all of em and x2 Cycle and full VU Cycle

Config>Advenced Chop/Zero and None two of them

Connfig>CPU Skip Frames Slower than 45 or something

I'm playing with 60 Fps and my computer is not better than yours

from my own tests with my ati i know that pre 14xx revisions are considerably faster than r14xx+ in SOME games, so it's alway a good idea to e.g. compare a game's performance with r1398 and the latest.

don't just enable all speed hacks at once, compare every one of them with the fps without speed hacks and then decide which to use. some games might run quite stable with such aggressive settings, but often even slower than with a more defensive approach. and fps values with both speed hacks and frame skipping enabled can't be trusted really, your pcsx2 might report 60, but the actual number could be lower.

thx guyz that helped me

Hello. I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, but I guess it's better than making a new one. I have the latest version of the emulator, and i'm running it on a PC with win XP and the following specs:
AMD athlon 64 x2 5000+ proc
ATI Radeon x1550 vid card

The game works smoothly at ~60 FPS, however I have major issues with the game's sound. I tried all 3 sound plugins, some of them have horrible voices (choppy), others have perfect sounds but it frequently cuts out. I'm really confused here, I tried fiddling with all the sparkly bars the config windows give me, but nothing has improved the sound. Any suggestions ?

speed hack and frame skip config, please?

[dramaticfail]

I'm not using any speed hacks and frame limiting is set to Limit (I hope it's what you meant, it's the 1st time I ever use this)

LE: While browsing around some more I found this thread that EXACTLY states my problem. http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-4057.html

However, the fix included in it doesn't work for me Sorry for not posting in that one, I didn't see it at the moment.

Also, I actually waited until the end of the cutscene and found out that the game actually DOESN'T work smoothly. I assumed I configured it right because the menu has 60 FPS instead of the 3 FPS I got when I started it for the 1st time. My game is at ~25 FPS and moving horribly, using GSdx 9 SSE2, windowed and at Native resolution. Pixel Shader is on 3, 2 only makes it worse. Speed hacks make it better sometimes (in some rooms, it just goes to 50 FPS, but as soon as an enemy or whatever pops up it just drops to 25 again)

So, not only I have problems with choppy audio, the video isn't working either

No, the video is working just fine, your PC is just really bad for PCSX2.
