I'm new here

[Performer]

Hi everyone,

I'm Performer and I'm pretty new here and I could need some help.
I want to play Burnout Paradise (USA) on PCSX2 and I got a couple questions:

- I got a AMD Phenom X45 + 4 GB Ram + NVidia Geforce GT 430 - Is this enough to play on 60 FPS?

-Which graphic plugin should I use? I dont know excatly whats better on my machine... Software or Hardware?


-I just fresh installed PCSX2.. And configured the basic settings like controller and stoff but: Are they some settings which I need to change to get a better performace as default?

Thanks for answering

This, it works fine on the new releases

[Performer]

Works. But I get only 40 FPS instead of 60...

Some people can run 60 FPS with a dual core, so why I cant with a QUAD CORE? The settings are on default.

[jesalvein]

It's not a quad/dual core matter.
More an architecture story.

Anyways, i think the problem here is your gpu.
Try setting gsdx internal res to native, and enable some spedhacks, especially mtvu hack.

[nosisab Ken Keleh]

You may want to try the speedhacks.

PS: sorry Jesalvein for jumping on your answer and being beaten for good

[refraction]

Enable the hw hacks in gsdx and try a bit of skipdraw, might help

Also your gpu is very weak, so stick to native Res like jes said.
