Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?
(02-28-2021, 06:16 PM)abaclock Wrote: Hello! I'm wondering why suddenly Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne (NTSC-U version) falls into 50-55 FPS on my PC.

I haven't played it in months (dropped it after Matador boss) but I remember I didn't have issues with FPS back then with PCSX2 1.4.0, I'm sure I was even able to use Turbo mode to grind at a fast pace. I also ran DQVIII and Shadow Hearts Covenant in the past on the same PC without many issues.

I upgraded to 1.6.0 but it didn't solve anything, and with a clean install I also lost the previous settings I had so I'm basically starting from scratch.

My specs:
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
RAM: 16 GB
CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1241 v3 @ 3.50GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

Any help is greatly appreciated

That CPU is good,but that GPU will struggle in most cases.
Don't upscale,or get a better gpu
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

I hope people dont compare a laptop cpu with a desktop cpu . Even if they are in same family , ex core i7 , a desktop core i7 is like 50% stronger than its laptop counterpart.
In general its around 20% to 30%, but taking into account the power limits of the cpu when the gpu is also running ,turbo boost limits in BIOS a laptop cpu performance degrades quickly to around 50% of a desktop counterpart.

I'm having an issue where games that I've played so far (Ratchet and Clank 1 and NFS: Most Wanted) run at 60FPS most of the time, but get frequent drops to as low as 45FPS, usually 55FPS.

I don't believe hardware itself should be an issue, my specs are;
i7-6700k @ default settings, no OC'ing (4.0 GHz)
GTX 1070
16GB DDR4-3200

most games will run fine.

Can anyone help here? I use HW Rendering at 3x Native. Recently upgraded from my RX 460 to a GTX 1650. My benches put the nVidia card >= 100% more powerful than the AMD. Yet I'm getting worse performance now. AFAIK, nVidia is better for most emulation so WTF?

Edit: Solved.
A driver + kernel update corrected this. I suggest you use backports for kernel and nvidia drivers.

Also, this is officially redundant since there's now active work being done by the Arch people and someone's been kinda enough to make AppImages for all distros. See this thread:

Why not run it first then decide?

Run dxdiag in start for actual stats

Hello, I tried to play dragon quest on my PC but the game is running slow (sometimes it's at 100%, sometimes at 14% idk why)

Windows 10
LAPTOP-T0BV3286 (Asus)
AMD E2-7015 APU with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics 1.50 GHz
4,00 Go (3,43 Go usable)
64 bits, processor x64

it's not enough isn't it ? :/

Thanks by advance

I've just bought a new pc that was solely for emulation thats arriving next week so I'm hoping this will allow me to run pcsx2 in most games at perhaps 1080p?

I5 10600k
4gb gtx1650
16gb ddr4 3200

Have I cheaped out on any of the above or should I be mostly OK?

Above recommended specs, should be fine for most games.
