I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but my few games for PCSX2 are labeled as compatible, but they run slowly. I believe it is a hardware problem, but my hardware is not listed on the "Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?" thread.
I am running a AMD A10-6790k APU 4.0 GHZ FM2 Socket (No OC on either the GPU or CPU portion of the APU) (Quad Core) with the Radeon HD 8670D APU GPU. The reason why i ask this is because I can run most of my higher-end games (Payday 2, GTA 4, and the like) directly from the GPU portion of the APU with no issues on medium-to-high settings with good resolution, but on my old machine, I ran my compatible games between 20-30+ fps, with only a dual-core Athlon ii X2 at 3.0 GHZ, and a crappy Nvidia Geforce 210. On my new machine I can barely run any games on PCSX2, and if i do, it runs anywhere between 5-13 FPS.
Is there anyway I could lower the settings on the emulator to make it go faster, without sacrificing the well-being of my APU by Overclocking?
The game I am trying to run is Mortal Kombat Armageddon with the USA Bios version 2.20 (gotten by dumping the BIOS from my later-model PS2), PCSX2 1.1.0 r5766, and I am running the game directly from my DVD-Drive.
Any suggestions, and if i asked this in the wrong place, someone please point me to the correct area? An image of the PCSX2 console is attached below.
