You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
My specs are:
PROCESSOR AMD Athlon™ II 645 Quad-Core Processor
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
MEMORY (RAM) 6GB PC3-10600 DDR3
HARD DRIVE 1.5TB (5400RPM) SATA
VIDEO GRAPHICS ATI Radeon™ HD 4200 integrated graphics. Up to 2943MB Total

I play using GSdx 4863 sse2 0.1.16 direct10(hardware)
It lags when i try to play 512x512 or native, but when i play on 256x256 it plays smooth but the graphics are horrible.
both CPU and GPU is pretty weak for pcsx2....
what game you tried to run?

yup it's is weak to run that crappy PC best to play on your actual PS2 don't expect magic configuration on that 2 DBZ title games instead try other games that is not very demanding.

Ok, so its slow because of my cpu n gpu? i thought my cpu was fine, and gpu was reasonable. i assumed that it might've been something wrong with my settings perhaps. I think i read that pcsx2 requires a dual core cpu, mines is quad core. as gpu requirements, i haven't read anything about it yet.
could been phenom rather than athlon for AMD users

and that video card is integrated(SOAC) it's is really weak unless it's dedicated w/ a PCI-E
Just an idea, being that your GPU is your biggest loser why not get the latest svn

Use Software Render and enable in Speed Hacks
MTVU hack
MVu flag hack
Enable INTC spin hack
Enable wait loop hack
And set EE cyclerate to 2
In Gsdx set the render to Software and the Extra rendering threads to 6
I hope that helps you
Set software threads to 3, he doesn't have a octo-core CPU, So he can't do 6.
