Recently had an error with window and had to format my laptop, and after setting everything back up I decided to check that my gpu meter widget was working properly.
So I loaded up pcsx2 and as a test set the gsdx settings to 4x native and ran ffx-2. The game was running at 40 fps on the bridge of the airship but I had no impact on the gpu shown by the widget. I then checked gsdx and noticed it was using the intel hd 4000 instead of the geforce 610m. So I swapped it over and my fps dropped to 20. Swapped back to the intel hd 4000 and the fps went back to 40. This is all with 4x native and only recommended speedhacks.
So I loaded dynasty warriors while still at 4x native. The intel hd 4000 only managed around 10 fps, yet the 610m ran at 25 fps.
Is there any real obvious explanation for this? I know different gpus have different performances, but other than that? I honestly expected the 2 of them to be more even.
