increase fps on dark cloud

[memourii]

hey guys so i tried playing dark cloud 2 on pcsx 0.9.8 and it gives me from 30-60 fraps. how can i maintain the 60fps? 60 fps is only when im alone with no background or anything. i also enabled speed hacks to max.

What is your graphics card? What do the EE and GS percentages at the top of the window display when you get the slowdowns?

[memourii]

graphics card= intel R graphics media accelerator.
EE=55-60%
GS=70-80%
i played kingdom hearts 2 fine with only a few sluggish parts.

[Bositman]

Yeah that intel one is your problem there. Start by checking 'native' in GSdx and see if that helps (yes video quality will reduce)

[memourii]

dang i figure it was the graphics card. sigh if only i could swap out the graphics card. alright thx Bositman.

[Bositman]

It's an onboard chip, you don't even have a graphics card installed. You can buy one and install it easily

[memourii]

lmao didnt know that. really? any recommendations on what graphics card

[Bositman]

Give me a price range and I can tell you a couple of good choices

[memourii]

i guess from 100-250

I have the prefect card for the $250 (thats sadly before shipping) MSI 560 Ti Hawk. Thing is a monster (i have it in my PC )

However one question, whats the wattage of your PSU? and does it have a 6 pin video plug? (this thing http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/show...nector.jpg)
