Noob in need of help!

[RollingWithTheTimes]

I'm playing MGS2 on the PCSX2 1.2.1 and the problem I'm getting is that whilst playing the game, my frames decrease then increase, audio sounds terrible when it occurs and obviously game play does too.

My game would be running really smooth then I'd turn a corner then it just suddenly lags like hell but when I turn another corner it'll start running smooth again and it's becoming rather annoying!

My specs are:

AMD RADEON HD 6670
Intel® Core™ i3-3240 CPU @3.40GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) 8GB
64-bit Operating System , x64-based processor
Windows 8 (os)

Like I said "Noob in need of help!" I have no idea when it comes to this sort of stuff

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmmm, can you determine what settings you use!

Everything is on default within the emulator, I've recently got it so I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 2 at the moment and I'm playing them as from ISO

Do you play all the time at 100% (50/60 FPS) framerate then suddenly it drops? Or is it increasing above 100%?

Using the async mode in SPUX-2 can solve the sound issue but may break some games.

What are your EE%/VU%/GS% readings in the title bar during smooth running scenes and lags/turbos?

Actually, the game is little demanding, you need a powerfull pc to run this game in full speed! Try with vu to 2 + mtvu enable!

That's what I'm getting! (The attachment). Like I said one minute it will be running completely fine then I turn a corner and it just lags!

Check your CPU temperature in case it's overheating and speed-stepping with a program like coretemp

Also gives info about vu% gs% etc during gameplay!
