What's most important for PCSX2 (well GSdx
) is Memory Bandwidth so get whatever card has the highest (and right for your budget).
1920x1080 is under x3 scaling for most games.

So I checked Basch's Flame Purge quickening, when the explosion happens it brings the FPS down to 5-7 frames when using x2 scaling! it's around 20fps when using native. When settings the GSdx to be software based instead of hardware I do get above 65-70fps during the entire thing though.
My i7 930 is overclocked at the moment @ 4Ghz (still haven't done an endurance stability test, but seems pretty stable so far from the tests that I've done), so it definitely seems like the GPU is holding back a lot. Is there anyone who can run this quickening @1080p without going below 60fps?? If yes, what GPU are you using at the moment.

why you enabled shade boost if you dont modify any settings?
The same goes with hw hacks...no need to touch anything here if your games run fine...

What's the FPS like during those slowed down scenes? Enabling hacks won't fix everything, FFXII has some parts that required my old i7 930 CPU to be overclocked up to 4Ghz to reach 60FPS (i.e normal play speed, unlike PC games anything below 60FPS will feel sluggish in PCSX2), since you're using a pretty old processor, you might have to accept the fact that you won't be able run the game 100% smoothly at certain parts, overclocking should help if that's an option and you know how to do it safely.
