What settings to use to make my games run faster?

[PzWehttam]

I'm trying to play Def Jam Fight for NY but doing the menu and gameplay and especially cutscenes it randomly slows down. Sometimes it runs normally but most of the time it seems a little slow still

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

Something is wrong with your hardwares specs (memory, graphics card, SSD). And graphics driver too old.

[smartstrike]

EA games are terrible in PS2 platform and twas not the emulator's fault.....not only def jam also NFS,MOH series ruuning terrible even on real ps2.

[jesalvein]

ok. looks like you actually have a 7700HQ.
have a look at your windows power plan and set it to performance mode
