F-Zero GX is incredibly demanding in Dolphin. I get slowdowns with it on my rig. And yeah it's most likely CPU related.

About the hacks, they are the most misunderstood thing in all PCSX2 history. It's true they may cause glitch, mainly if abused, most of times they don't cause discernible problems used correctly and may make possible to have the game "playable", and so worthy even a minor glitch or two?
Now, don't you think running the game at 25 FPS is a HUGE glitch?
In time: I wanted to put that huge really huge and in red, but maybe it's enough that way
Edit: least not causing a glitch in this very page as well.

IDK what the ultimate requirements for F zero GX are. It runs full speed mostly on my system, but not always.
Intel will give overall better performance, but will cost more, especially if you have to get a mobo.
I highly recommend the FX6300. And don't even bother with the FX9000 series. I mean yeah it's 5 Ghz and pretty close to intel performance but the TDP and heat output is god awful.

My cpu will out perform it until the fx hits around 5ghz. Then they will be equal.

Yeah his CPU outperforms an FX, however, that doesn't mean it's required.
Every single game that I've attempted in PCSX2 I've had full speed on 95% of the time or more. A few required speedhacks.
Meanwhile, unless you are doing tasks like 3d rendering, video encoding, and other things like that, there is no benefit in 8 cores over 6.

the 6300 is the sweet spot.
