I heard that you can also up the amount of threads your CPU uses in hardware mode but I don't know where to change that.
Hardware mode doesn't support Extra threads. ( you can only use the MTVU hack for a third core) and, that I-GPU is definitely a bottleneck in hardware mode. make sure you select the Nvidia geforce GT 650m In video adapter drop down list in gsdx plugin settings.

In the NVIDIA control center I made sure that my GPU works specifically for PCSX2 and in the plugins menu I select the GPU with DirectX 3D11 (Hardware).
Does software mode support extra threads?
What do you mean by bottleneck?
yeah, software mode supports extra rendering threads. you can select them at the software mode settings, which is located at the bottom of the GSDX plugin settings.
bottleneck is taken place where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or small number of components or resources. (In your case, It might have been your IGPU but, looks like it's not a problem now)

I honestly think it's the game because I also play Persona 3 with 5x native and it still runs okay. But even in native, the game struggles.
I also can't see the settings for extra threds in software settings, just anti-aliasing.
what version of pcsx2 are you using ?
we don't have SVN builds now, only git builds. get the latest one from
here.

Oh I'm sorry. That's what I meant. The latest built from git.

*facepalm*
Please forgive me. I see it now.
It goes up to 16x?! I put it to that but I think my CPU only does 8 threads because hyperthreading.
