hello everyone,i am having a problem running dragonquest VIII. the opening runs fine,but when i get to the part when you first get a chance to control the main character,i only get 19-23fps. my laptop should be able to handle it perfectly,at least i think it should...if anyone can give me any advice, i would really appreciate it.
ill list as much info about the laptop as i can:
operating system: windows 7 home premium(64bit) service pack 1
manufacturer : ASUSTeK computer inc
model: Asus notebook K52JU/K52JT series
processor: Intel core i7cpu Q740 @ 1.73Ghz
ram: 4.00gb
graphics card: amd radeon HD 6370M
Quote:my laptop should be able to handle it perfectly
really ?

1.73ghz is slow for pcsx, unfortunately.
Try some speedhacks and latest SVN with MTVU hack enabled :

It may help you
uhmm,i wasnt sure. thats why i put "i think"
ahwww,really? darn :/ so besides that,there is nothing i can do to fix it?

This will also be difficult.
Dragon Quest 8 is a rather GPU heavy game, and your laptop's GPU is a pretty weak one.
Be sure you're using a low internal res (i.e. Native), as well as jesalvein's advice.
thanks to both of you!
i assumed my laptop was pretty good because i was an i7, but i guess not ahaha.
uhmm,to jesalvein: i tried the different speedhacks, and it didnt work. it started getting like 30-32fps, but it is still too low to enjoy the gameplay, so i guess ill wait till i get a better laptop. and i dont know how to check the game version...do you mean the pcsx2 version that i have?
and to rezard: woaa,really?! how can that be though.. i play guild wars, and it looks amazing on this laptop...huh..thats odd.. o.O but thanks man. it really helped alot
no, I mean your Game version : PAL/NTSC.
Have a look at the box. It should be written at the back.
And btw Guild wars is a native PC game. You can't compare it to emulation
You can download NVIDIA PhyX

That's probably because your GPU is bottlenecking.
(Unless you were not sure what you were doing, but that's what the Presets are for.
)
Did you set the internal resolution to Native yet? You may need to do that before Speedhacks would help.

That suggestion lacks purpose.
If nVidia's PhysX actually had something to do with PCSX2, I doubt it'd work with a Radeon...
