I've recently purchased a new MSI GE60 laptop, i7-3630qm, GT650m, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz.
To give it a test drive I decided to try out PCSX2 on it, but so far have been disappointed. I've been met with graphical glitches [purple glow effect in battle remaining throughout] and slowdown on the native resolution. I've tried a fair few combinations of speedhacks and Direct x modes but I still cant seem to get the game to run at a satisfactory consistent speed. Direct x 9 software with 8 extra threads seems to have the best speed but will sometimes hang momentarily. This game runs pretty much perfectly on my 4 year old desktop [AMD 1055T OCd to 3.6, AMD 6870].
Am I just expecting too much from this mid range mobile GPU? I was under the impression that the majority of the load in emulation was on the CPU.
Any help would be appreciated. I will happily post screens of my settings, but I have used a wide range of them so I would rather take suggestions and go from there.
