hi lately i have been having bad fps drop with vice city stories in software mode direct3d11 i have tried so many tweaks to pcsx2 1.1.0 to get the game to run at 60 fps with no problems but it seems to make it worse. but when i try a different game i have no issues at all.

how many extra software rendering threads do you have on GSDX? For your CPU it should be 3.

I also recommend overclocking that cpu if you can. I have my i7 920 running at 3.8Ghz, but a 3.4Ghz overclock should be a no brainer, literally change the bus speed to about 170 (i think), drop the memory speed down, turn off turbo boost and hyperthreading (which is useless for gaming anyway, just makes the cpu hotter) and off you go!

Edit: Just checked, it is 170mhz (multiplier x20)

for me i dont see the need for overclocking my pc runs fine as it is. i put my software rendering threads at 16

If it runs fine, why opening a thread ?
If you don't accept advices, why seeking help ?

to fix the problem but if chose to overclock my i7 i will when im ready

The game is slow because your cpu isn't fast enough, it's not a case of being "fine". For PC gaming yes it is fast enough, for emulation, you need roughly a 3.4-3.6Ghz processor to run at reasonable speeds in a majority of games.
