i5 or i7 at 3.2Ghz and gddr5 equivalent video card
Maximum:NO
i7 Extreme series unlocked by 5Ghz and gddr5 OC edition video card or Nvidia GTX-Ti Equivalent.

Dear johntoreno07,

This thread may be viewed by many people (Guests, Forum Member). Not necessary that all members are able to answer your question(whatever may it be).

Anyways,

Latest PCSX2 should not do any harm. It should help you play that game easily.

Some things if you have lags

• Set the Power Plan to High Performance
  
• Run GSDX at Native Resolution (or even 2x or 3x)
  

And that's all. Though Default is perfect.

seems like my gow 2 cd is corrupt

[abdo123]

first of all download the latest SVN from the home page now do the following :

1- oh enable recommended speed hacks
2- enable VU cycling at level 2 , level 3 get it kind of laggy ( false FPS )
3- enable MTVU
4 chose GSDX SSE4 from pluin BIOS selector ( give AVX a try too )
5- use DX11 hardware mode GSDX configuration
6- raise the resolution a bit ( you can run it up to x4 native with that GPU )

this will make your game near perfect !

@OP, user newer SVN build that has MTVU, and then enable recommended speedhack+MTVU on emulation setting.
no need to enable VU cycle stealing, should be more than enough for 2500K to handle gow 2, even on stock.

if you're using 0.9.8 release (without MTVU), you need VU cycle stealing, just to make sure it always stay 60+ (occasionally drop below 60 without VU stealing on 4.2GHz 2500K)

but i get double image halo kinda effect help me with this

[recoder]

Double effects may be caused because of two things:

• Using Resolution higher than Native
  
• Try Offset Hack in GSDX.
  

To use offset hack open GSDX.ini(It can be in My Documents/pcsx2/Inis OR in the Inis Folder where you have installed pcsx2.)

Add the line

allowhacks=1

And tick offset hack and try. Also, try using Native or different resolutions.
