Help with system specs and config settings

[eurosport1]

Hello to all,
So I got Dragon Ball Z B3 and Shadow of the Colossus to run, but the problem is the fps. Now let me list my system specs to get this out of the way

Windows Vista Home Premium x64
AMD Phenom X4 9850 @ 2500 MHz
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB
6GB of DDR2 RAM
This shoudl be more than enough to run DBZ I think, but I only get 15-25 FPS
Picture attached below of Config. Settings
Can someone tell me if this configuration works.
For example, i turned down pixel shader from 3.0 to 2.0, with no difference at all.
Is there something wrong with the configuration, because Im pretty sure its not my comp

---

Now it always crashed when i start it up!(I dont even get to the main menu) I just got to the vs. in the main manu and played a really slow much a couple of minutes ago, but at least it was working!

Upgrade to the newest gsdx plugin here(gsdx ones not gsdx9), that one that you have is very old :o

most of the time it's better to use a newer version ^^
set there speedhacks to 1.5 and see if it works (especially in FMVs)
then advanced> check denormals are zero and flush to zero
and again check if it works
then set advanced > both clamps to "none"
see if it works for the last time if anything doesn't work reset the option which didn't work

also enable the MTGS mode in cpu options^^
if that isn't fast enough try a higher speed hack (but 2x is the highest usefull in my opinion cause they tend to break or slow games)
if that still isn't fast enough.... overclock or upgrade your cpu (the emu needs way more cpu power xD)

also some games just aren't fast right now ^^ don't complain too much about them!
