Hello Everyone, I have a problem concerning PCSX2. I was using Nvidia Geforce 9400GT and I was running Tenkaichi 3 on that perfectly at Native internal resolution. But now, I upgraded my graphics card to 5750 and also overclocked my processor to 3.25 Ghz. But now when I try to run PCSX2 the game runs all fine except when I duel at the time chamber when the frame rate falls to about 40-45 fps(NTSC version) and at other places it runs perfectly. I don't think my specs bottleneck the game.

Also, on my older video card I ran Contra Shattered Soldier at 60fps but now it runs just at 40-45 fps forever.

One more thing, the fps remains the same(niether rises nor falls) whether I run at 1680*1050 or at native internal resolution.
Make sure your overclock is stable and your processor is getting enough volts. If it isn't, it will perform badly
My overclock is stable. I ran Intel burn test and Prime 95 and both worked fine. I have been playing highly CPU intensive games like Crysis and GTA 4 at good framerates, so I doubt it's a problem of stability.
PCSX2 is known to have problems when an overclock is unstable even if it passes hours and hours of Orthos and other torture tests. I've had this problem myself, so just in case try it once with your CPU at stock settings and see how the performance is then so we can rule it out at least.
Ok, so now I have my Cpu at stock again. But still the same problem.
Hm ok so the problem seems to lie with the new graphics card. Make sure in it's drivers that both anti aliasing and vsync are OFF (application controlled won't do either, must be forced off). I guess you already are using the latest drivers
@bositman: I couldn't find a way to force off antialiasing and vsync. When I uncheck application controlled, it is always at x2. And yes I have the latest 10.2 drivers.

and @k1net1cs: If that might be my problem then I would have to wait for the 10.4 drivers to come out.

Edit: Well after going back to stock, I tried to enable allow 8-bit textures and Wow! it solved my problem. So now, I am gonna overclock to 3.0GHz which was more stable than 3.25GHz. One thing more left to try is Contra: Shattered Soldier.Smile
