Carsomyr - can you post a complete list of the settings you're using? I'd like to try to get mine to play similarly, but at the moment, I'm just struggling to keep a constant framerate, especially near flames or in caves, and my GS% always takes a massive dip when my FPS drops below 40ish.
I think my biggest issue is that I don't have an CPU that I can OC, being a laptop, so it maxes out at 3.3Ghz with the turbo-boost active.

It isn't likely you'll see full 60fps, Gregory is aware of the issue, and it's more or less we have capped the PCI-e bandwidth. switching from 2x scaling to native doesn't change it at all. EE never gets above 40% for me. when the slow downs happen i get between 30 and 40fps.
Allow 8-bit textures may help however, send me from completely unplayable to playable just heavy slow downs from time to time in caves.

turbo boost is only active if one or two cores are maxed out and others idle. And only for a short time. When your cpu uses too much power and produces too much heat turbo boost shuts itself off. I would expect that for the first seconds you can enjoy turbo boost but afterwards you play at stock speed. (especially in sw mode with some extra rendering threads)

Constant 60fps for these games is impossible right now. I have an i5 3570k personally and the games all dip into the 20s for me. the issue is GS% stays around 90%-100% constantly. As I said turn off the widescreen hacks and play with the camera zoomed all the way in using the right stick to help minimize FPS drops. The drops are going to happen to matter what on these games tho.

can't you invert the zoom part of the widescreen hack to reduce the rendered screen size? (assuming that there is some zooming done in the widescreen hack)
