Hey, i downloaded PCSX2 and tried to play, WWE 2011. at the menu, the game running at 70 FPS at 1680X1050 Res, and at 200+ FPS at native Res, but in-game the bar on top shows 30-45 FPS but game runs really slow, and sometimes, a flickering wierd shadow appears...

quite a weak PC you have here for most games under pcsx2.
About those flickering shadows, I think it's a side effect of speedhacks (EE cycle rate, probably)

not much you can do about the slowness with this weak CPU & WEAK GPU.
better play on your PS2 until you can get a decent machine.

Try direct 3D 9 or direct 3D 11(if it shows in Gs plugin),because direct3D 10 is slow.set interlacing to auto or none.decrease ee cycle rate to 1 & increase vu cycle steal to 2,try different configs!!!

[jesalvein]

because direct3D 10 is slow

pcsx2-wise, it's exactly the same.

GOW 1+2 -> you'll get slowdowns, mainly because of your GPU
Black -> will be too slow to play
FIFA 12+13 ->AFAIk, runs well in software mode only, so you can forget it
Hitman BM -> no idea
NFS MW BE -> never tried it
MK Armaggedon -> will be slow
MX VS ATV -> no idea
Naruto Ship Ultimate Ninja 5 -> should work fine in native resolution
NFS Underground 2 -> forget it. Even the most powerful existing machine won't run it
PES 12 -> no idea
GTA SA -> you'll get slowdowns, mainly because of your GPU
Shadow Of Colossus -> will be slow, but VU cycle stealing may help a lot to make it near playable.
Sly 3 -> unplayably slow, whatever you do
Sonic Heroes -> no idea
Spartan Total war -> will be slow whatever you do
Urban Reign -> no idea
