Bug 
Hello guys, im trying to make pcsx2 run on my pc but i have a problem. I tuned all the settings as you explain at your giude.Everything is going perfect,loading is fine , graphics are also good, sound and speed when im at games menu are fine too. The only problem is when im going to play.then fps goes down to 10-20 and the game goes like in super slow motion.
I want to play only one game, gran turismo 4.

My pcs req

intel core i5-2430m 2.4gh, up to 3.0gh with turbo
nvidia geforce gt 520m
4gb ddr3 memory

latest pcsx2 1.0.0 (r5350)

1st off the obvious thing. Running Intense stuff on Laptops isnt always a good idea as you are running it on Mobile Chips that dont run as fast as their Desktop counterparts.

2ndly I would advise you check your Power Options and make sure your machine is running at Full Power instead of "Balanced" that a lot of Laptops are set to by default in Windows 7 and now 8. When its set to anything other than "Full Power" it underclocks the RAM and CPU Speed. Id also imagine it will slow down your GPU Speed.

your answer is correct, just than to minimize chances of confusion, the name of the power plan to use is "performance".

Remember to return it to whatever it is now to help the battery in normal use.

Try setting the gs plugin to native also to help the GPU.

Go to the Speedhacks section and try those sliders, the VU cycle stealing can be put at the second notch and fare well with most games, the EE cyclerate will help as well, try it at the first notch before trying the VU cycle rating to the 3rth.

If still slow... may be the specific game you are trying is just too demanding for the laptop.

If still needing further help is necessary you providing the actual PCSX2 seetings being used and the games being attempt.

2.4 Ghz may be a bit weak for a demanding game like GT4.
speedhacks, may help, though, but don't expect full speed all the time with this laptop.
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
Mobo : Asus PRIME B450-PLUS
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
RAM : 16 Go

When in game try to change constant skipping 3 frame to draw 1 frame to skip that little help, and in audio plugin chose async mode, instead strech and thick disable reverb effect. Thay may help Smile
