Last day i decided to upgrade my PCSX 1.6.0 to 1.7.5 to play Gran Turismo 4, and while it seemed to work fine at first, the problem is that the game has critical stuttering issues when i load a car, a track or even when i try to load a license test or the whole game from the very beginning. These stuttering issues can range from lasting 10 seconds to completely freeze the emulator, forcing me to close it with the task manager.

Anyone knows how can i fix this problem?

I'm currently using the default PCSX2 graphical and emulating configuration, and the specifications of my computer are the following:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
GPU: RX470 4 GB

I'd appreaciate if anyone could help me.

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version. You could enable the logging by checking Tools-> Enable File logging checkbox in the UI.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

GT4 is also notoriously bad performer and if you had any custom options enabled in 1.6... you probably want to reset them for 1.7 as the accuracy of emulation have changed substantially between version so same options don't apply. In the worst case though if you were satisfied with 1.6 GT4 performance... stick to 1.6.

Not exactly, i still had some stuttering issues with 1.6.0, but they seemed to get worse on 1.7.5

that's exactly what mrWizard said above...
can you please post a full emulog ?
the one you posted is empty

Check Tools > Enable File Logging. If it is already checked, ignore this step.
If you ticked the box in the above step, restart PCSX2.
Click Tools > Open Data Directory to jump to your PCSX2 folder.
Reproduce your issue.
Close PCSX2, and do not open it again.
Go back to your PCSX2 folder. Open the logs folder, and upload the emulog.txt file to this channel.

definitely better.

Using a BIOS file with PCSX2 which you have downloaded from the internet or from a PS2 console you do not own is illegal. You must own the console the BIOS file came from (even if it's broken) to be legal.
