Low FPS.

[SammyJ15992]

sorry if this is the wrong part of the forums, first post.
anyway...recently downloaded PCSX2 to run FF-X and MK -Deception.
ive tweaked and tweaked to my hearts content ...
but i cant get any acceptable FPS rates....

below is my DXdiag report,
altho i think my computer should easily be able to emulate PS2 games.
i get 25-35 FPS on FF-X and around 30 on MK. makes it hard to play the game and it really messes up the sound =/

PCSX2 v0.9.8
settings are on default...pretty much...

any help is appreciated

have you tried speedhacks?
and actually you need some oc on the CPU 2.66 is very low & you still may not get perfect fps.

[recoder]

I think the graphics card may be the problem. Try the speedhacks. or use frameskip.

[SammyJ15992]

yes ive tryed the speedhacks....no help...infact it kinda made it worse
and ive never OC'd anything @@
wouldnt take me long to figure out i dont think (meaning most of the night) >.<
but what would u reccomend Ocing it to? just so i have a general idea of what im trying to accomplish
i have OCing software installed that i use to moniter speeds and such...so it wouldnt be too hard to do i dont think >.<

No......... 9800 GT is powerful enough to handle these games.

If you never tried ocing then don't play with it if you don't have a background. unless if you want to fry something .

Also did you max out speedhacks or tried them one by one ?

[SammyJ15992]

i know someone who knows how to OC who could help...when they wake up...in a couple hours >.< so i will give it a shot later

and i tryed them 1 at a time....all on...some on...etc...every possible combination....
nothing really helped

[hallmark]

TBH I don't think you will get that much out of Q9400 even if it is OC'ed... it might help a little bit but don't expect perfect results out of it.
The max oc on air with Q9400 will yield to 3.2 to 3.4 on air and you may gain between 4-8 fps max and it might not be possible with the stock cooler.
sorry mate.

okies...so basically nothing will help...buy a new chip? lol
