When I try to run MGS3 on windows 10 I get about 13-19 fps any advice on how to boost that to at least 50? Some additional information the lowest FPS happens during cut scenes with an average Frame rate of about 14 but during game play it jumps up to 20 fps. How can i fix this issue?

enable all recommended speedhacks + fiddle with ee cycle rate/ vu cycle stealing.
set windows power plan to perfromance mode, and make sure you aren't running on batteries.
This way, you should be able to reach around 30-35 fps during gameplay, 20 during cutscenes.
If you want to reach 50, get a cpu with an STR above 2100. MGS3 is really demanding
Why does the steam version of MGS5 run well then? like at full FPS? is it because its specialized for a computer system vs. an iso that was for a console?
