Just got back home.
Okay, give me a moment. I'll go collect the informations.
-UPDATE-
-Intel® Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs),
-NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M with 2GB Dedicated VRAM
-8GB DDR3 Memory
-Windows 8
I'm using PCSX2 1.2.1 (just downloaded it). The settings are untouched yet.
I'm going to play Warship Gunner 2 via ISO.
Played the first one on this laptop but the game was so slow and laggy to play, tried every solution that I could find but the problem is still there. I gave up after a while.
I don't know how to use the spoiler tag, sorry for the trouble but I attached my DxDiag.txt just in case.

I think the MTVU speedhack helps but there arent many special settings for this. It might be a little slow on your laptop tho

Are you using for VU1 the interpreter or the microVU recompiler? You show both settings.
Notebooks should be set to high performance power saving plan and should be plugged in during emulation.
you can use gsdx-[...]avx as plugin. There might be a slight performance boost.
What is your GS% reading during slowdowns?
You can disable texture filtering and 8-bit textures and look if that helps.
Have you tried to further increase the VU/EE sliders?

Oh crap, that's a duplicate, it should've been the EE screenshot, sorry about that.
I already set it to high performance.
I'll try using avx plugin when I get back to my home. Currently in college. GS% and VU% reading went around 80 - 98% during slowdowns.
I've done some testing with the Sliders; currently setting it to EE = 2 VU = 1, I tried setting to the highest setting, the game performance went down significantly.
What specs on a laptop do I need in order to the PCSX2 performance to match as close as possible to the PS2? If there are none, I heard PCs are highly recommended for maximizing PCSX2 game performance, what specs should I look for in a PC?
