I've recently got pcsx2 working and I'm in the process of trying to optimize the various settings for running FFX. I can get 50-60 fps + outside of battle scenes but inside battle scenes the fps drops to maybe 25-30 fps.
My computer is not particularly powerful but I was wondering if anyone could suggest any settings etc. I could try to cause even a slight improvement. Thanks!
Computer specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5870 @ 2.00 GHz
1.87 GB RAM
Running Windows XP with SP 3
Graphics: Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family (1024 MB)
As far as I know I have the latest drivers for my graphics and directx.
I am using the latest pcsx2 beta with a GSdx version I downloaded a day or two ago (so up to date). Using the SSSE3 rather than SSE2.
I am running from an iso of my disc rather than the dvd.
I am using several Speedhacks - EE x2 cycle rate, Idle Loop Fast-Forward and slight VU Cycle Stealing.
I seem to get better results with Direct3D9 (Software) rather than Hardware. Performance is also as good if not slightly better with ZeroGS rather than GSdx.
I have both Clamp modes set to zero in the Advanced settings, as well as Flush to Zero and Denormals are Zero selected.
