Slow motion issues on Highend PC

[Twin Caliber]

Hello. I've had PCS2 for a while now and I have been able to play some demanding games just fine like: Timesplitters 2, Kigdomhearts 2. However recently I have not been able to play Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal or metal gear solid 3. 

My computer specs are: 
Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 
Processor: AMD FX ™- 8350 Eight core. 4Ghz 
Memory 16Gb 
Direct 11
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

I have tried playing around with the emulator setting: 

Currently i have the Adapter set to my GPU 
Renderer: Direct3D11 (hardware) 
Interlacing: Auto
8 bit : checked 
Internal resolution: Native 
Texture filtering Bilinear 
CRC hack level: Full safest 
HW hacks: unchecked 

I have tried it with and without 8 bit checked. 

in ratchet and clank when the fps drops below 60 the EE and GS go up to around 70

Your CPU is not high end, with only a STR (single thread rating) of 1507. It's recommended to have at least 1600 for the least demanding games, and up to 2000+ for the more demanding games. Your graphics card is fine though

I can vouch for envisaged' response from experience: it's the CPU. I had a 4ghz AMD and was stumped as to why my backups were playing at horrible framerates. I switched to an i5 4690k and oh what a difference it made immediately. It's the single thread performance you need, and AMD in that aspect is lagging a tad for PCSX2 purposes.

Based on Internet review, Ryzen seems to be a much faster CPU. So even if you look at AMD brand, your CPU is kind of meh....

However, I don't know the behavior of Ryzen on PCSX2 (so it could still be slower than Intel CPU).
