Been about 2 years since I posted. Upgraded my PC and these are my current specs:
i7-860 2.8 @ 3.85Ghz
2x2GB G.Skill PC1600 DDR3 7-7-7-18 1T
evga GTX 275 1792MB
2X OCZ Vertex 2 60GB each in RAID 0 for 120GB
Dell Ultrasharp U3011 1600p 1billion+ colors
Everything else is irrelevant for performance.
I tried running Valkyrie Profile 2 in software mode and I typically stay in the high 40 fps (altho my CPU usage is only in the 80 percentile), 60fps in battle mode and movie sequences. Only annoying part about this is that the sound gets lagged when it dips below 60fps, but gameplay seems fine. Besides switching to Direct3D 10(software), I enabled Edge anti-aliasing and changed rendering threads to 4. Also, should I enable hyper threading and change that to 8 for better performance? Everything else is the settings in place for PCSX2 0.9.8. I am basically wondering if with my system there are any other tweaks that might not have been enabled due to the fact the PCSX2 team may have not enabled since they were not considering a system this powerful? Tweaks pertaining to increase in quality and/or performance gains. Also, I did not mess with any speed hacks or anything else since I read that version 0.9.8 has settings for each game for the best performance. Def an awesome job on the PCSX2 teams part. Thanks in advance for any help.
