PCSX2 lags after pc reset
#1
Recently, I've been having issues with my gaming laptop thats resulted in me having to do a system restore, unfortunately, I haven't been able to play the games I used to without all of them lagging/stuttering. Before the issue, I could run all of my games at a consistent 60 FPS, now I can't play games without lag being a major issue. Is there any fix to this solution? (Note: I've used default pcsx2 settings before and after the reset)

Maybe pcsx2 is not using your nvidia gpu.
Did you tried right click=>run with graphic processor=>nvidia

Or maybe the laptop is running is battery saving mode

it's your HDD see your task manager...see your HDD is still at 100% after PC rebooted....you need to wait 1st after its rebooted....and also if your battery is at below 50% you will get slowdowns.

 After the reset, the disk would occasionally jump to 100%, but now its no longer an issue. As for the laptop running in battery saving mode, i actually have it set to maximum performance. Are there any other solutions you have? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This is an issue with pcsx2 along with other emulators

You might want to do a clean reinstall with update of OS, softwares and drivers, It might help.

That's not really a great advice and it's time consuming. Reinstalling an OS should be a last case scenario.


Manually add pcsx2 in the nvidia control panel and set it to high performance or something ?

-I read through his problem and I am firm on my advise.

-My nvidia driver does not have this function.

Change OpenGL rendering GPU to your nvidia GPU and 
change Power Managment mode to perfer maximum performance

Reinstalling the OS is a last effort reserved for catastrophic failures. Not something you do to fix a configuration problem for one program.
