Hi,
I've recently managed to eliminate the stuttering when playing ALL the PS2 games on PCSX 1.6.0 (Stable) - for some reason, I cannot use OpenGL (HW) and have to resort to D3D (HW) + Adaptive V-Sync instead or else the periodical stuttering, which is not related to any additional settings, will occur. I have the latest nVidia drivers installed on my PC, "let the 3D app decide" + control panel settings being on default.
I can run certain games at 4K or even 8K (6x - 8x internal scaling) with no apparent performance drops using D3D + mostly default PCSX2 settings (SSX 3, Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes), while some other games exhibit marked slowdowns or gameplay-affecting frame rate drops at 4K or even 1440p with GPU usage reaching 100% (God of War 2, Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast, Soulcalibur 3) and only lowering resolution to 1080p seems to help. GS and EE oscilating around 10-30 at 4K.
Is this a normal PCSX2 behavior to experience such a robust performance difference between certain games or is there something else going on (GPU drivers, wrong settings, etc.)? Is my PC configuration (Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1660 Super) good enough to run PCSX2 PS2 games at 4K or do I have to run them at 1440p or 1080p to get a stable performance?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
