knwoing saiki, I believe he tweaked some gsdx hacks to achieve those speeds.
But I'm not sure that is what the OP wants
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
Mobo : Asus PRIME B450-PLUS
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
RAM : 16 Go

I'm at 3 GHz and a pretty good GFX card, and I average 35 (maybe 38-39) FPS w/o speed hacks in GOW2. I use native res and I've tried Directx 9 and 11 (both seem to be the same). I'm not sure what you mean by the min/max settings. I assume you mean Frame limiter which I have disabled and enabled with no noticeable change.

Overclocking your CPU more than 3.2 GHz from 2.8 GHz is dangerous and could burn out your CPU, Be careful.

For reference, my Q6600 has been stable at 3.2ghz for nearly 3 years now on Mediocre cooling (Arctic Freezer Pro 7 - £30). With better ram I'd get a stable 3.6 (can get it there now but it's not entirely stable).. 3.2 from 2.8 is a tiny tiny overclock imho.

Ok Got my Q9550 running @ 3.35Ghz with very impressive FPS improvement on GOW2. I'm regularly between 40-50 FPS, while only dipping into 35 FPS on a few scenes. The slower scenes seem to be ones where there is greater depth of field. I sure wish I could OC this thing a bit more but I've seem to hit a wall for my G41 motherboard at 390 or so on the FSB. I can actually live with the game play as it really doesn't slow down enough for me to notice too much. All this without speed hacks (native res).
I'm trying to use 3x scaling and it actually looks real nice, but there is some ghosting on some objects and of course the characters. Kind of too annoying to make it worth it. I was wondering how do you turn on AA for hardware? I don't see the hack line in the ini file.

Try using frameskip. I actually have my "Turbo" speed as 100% so if I get any places with slowdown I just hit tab to put the limiter on Turbo (which enables frameskip) and it brings the frames back up to full, then tab again when it's not needed.
