Hey All,
New to the forum. I skimmed through some of the pinned forums but couldn't find what I was looking for. The Graphics section focused on graphical bugs and glitches rather than speed improvements so I didn't look there.
I've recently rekindled my love of SSX 3 and finally got it running on PCSX2. On some courses, the game runs just fine. However, on certain courses with excess lighting and track features, I've noticed that the game tends to slow down quite substantially (~50% speed). Worst of all, it's inconsistent, causing the game to speed up and slow down randomly, sometimes multiple times within the same string of tricks, which can really throw off my timing, causing otherwise avoidable fails. The sound is distorted to match the game's slower speed as well and it can really kill the mood of SSX 3's up beat soundtrack.
I would honestly prefer frame rate drops or graphical quality hits over speed fluctuations in a game like this. My question is, how can I configure PCSX2 to sacrifice some other game aspect (graphics quality, frame rate drops) to avoid speed drops?
I'm using the latest stable version of PCSX2 (1.6.0) and the graphical plugin I've set is GSdx 20200506140834 (MSVC 19.25 SSE4.1/AVX) 1.2.0 [GSdx32-SSE4].
As for my PC specs, my CPU's a bit old but meets recommended requirements (by a hair). GPU should be up to snuff. Never posted on a forum like this so let me know if I'm missing anything important. Here's the specs I've collected thus far.
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K CPU
RAM: 2x8gb DDR3
GPU: GTX 1080 16GB
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
