Hi people! =D
I want to try to play FFX at full speed in my laptop (right now it's 30-60 on intro movie -you know, "this is my story" stuff-)
My specs are:
T8300 Penryn (2.4Ghz)
nVidia 8400GT 256GDDR3 (128bit bus)
3GB RAM
Windows 7 build 7057
Right now and without a lot of tweaking the game plays flawlessly but with slowdowns sometimes (although very little), in game I get 40-60, and I'm just past the first save state (of course i've beaten it loooong ago in PS2).
Also speed seems to be the same wheter I play it on "native" PS2 res or my laptop native resolution (1280x800) so I guess maybe it's my CPU the bottleneck to get full 60fps
What I wanted to know is if GSdx plugin and PCSx emu in general uses more CPU or more GPU power because I can easily OC the processor to, say, 2.6 or 2.8, but GPU has a harder time (laptop drivers) doing so.
If I OC my cpu will I get real improvements? or if I do the proper with GPU? Some experiences with OC and this emu?
P.S: As you may have noticed i've been playing very little yet with this emu. So any help or tip to improve speed will be greatly appreciated.
