I wonder, do you use software or hardware renderer with GSDX?, if it's not a problem can you post your settings and sorry for asking too much, your ATI catalyst settings? what version of catalyst are you using?

I have an HD4870 and most games work fine except for the ones that are not playable at 60 constant fps everywhere.

I have a similar issue of having speed problems playing PS2 isos/games and I was hoping if anyone could give further insight for any improvement. I have read the guides and stickies on this forum and I used the recommended settings they provided.
Right now I have GOW and MGS3: Subsistence. And here's the rundown on both games being tested:
Games:
GOW: 25 - 40 FPS
MGS3: 25 FPS on some VFX sequences, a decent 60 FPS (for Menu/Codec) and areas without too much rendering.
Configuration:
Graphics: GSdx 890 (MSVC 15.00, SSE41) 0.1.14 (config below)
- Windowed
- Direct3D9 (Hardware)
- Pixel Shader 3.0
- Interlacing: None
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (Monitor is 22 inch wide)
- D3D internal res (Native checked)
- NLOOP hack (transparent checked)
- Texture filtering (transparent checked)
- Wait vsync (unchecked)
- Enable tv-out (unchecked)
- Logarithmic Z (unchecked)
- Alpha correction FBA (checked)
Sound: SPU2-X 1.1.0
First Controller: SSSPSX PAD Plugin Pressure Mod 1.7.0 (Great PS3 controller compatibility)
Bios: USA v02.00(14/06/2004) Console
CPU Config:
Frame Limiting: Limit (MGS3: Goes over 80FPS in some scenes so this is checked)
EERec - EE/IOP recompiler: checked
VU Recompliers: all checked
Multi threaded GS mode: checked
Speed hacks:
- Use x2 Cycle Rate
- INTC Sync Hack (checked)
- Enable IOP x2 Cycle Rate (checked)
Advanced Options:
EE Recs Options:
- Round Mode: Chop/Zero
- Clamp Mode: None
- Flush to Zero + Denormals are Zero (checked)
VC Recs Options: Same as EE Recs Options.
PC SPECS: (signature)
Any tweaks or help that may improve gameplay will be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response agentghost, I tried that but it just crashes. I also know that the CPU is also the main issue here. Since u got 3.2Ghz which puts you in a considerable advantage for the PCSX2, games tend to run more smoothly, I even checked youtube videos out and most the decent tests were done with processors 3.0Ghz or above. Just hoping my 2.8Ghz could suffice but unfortunately didn't. I also tried using my EPU-4 Engine settings to High Performance (I guess this is the official Asus overclocking program) but with little or no improvement.

maybe try vista? I also had some issues with windows xp. But it seems dx10 can run some games better. So, I now using dual boot with vista only for pcsx2 and it's working much better. At least the game ICO works in dx10 but not dx9.

Weird I have the same card but my games work fine. Shadow of Colossus(speedhack X3, DX10) runs great on my rig.
