Hi!
I have serious problem with mgs3, fps is like 10-20. I have tried to config with help of PCSX2 configuration guide without help.

Here are my specs:
Amd athlonx2 6000+
radeon hd4870
2gb of ram
windows 7 64bit

Thank for the help beforehandSmile!
Use DX10 in GSDX and enable all speedhacks except for VU cycle stealing. I have similar specs and I already finished it with very decent FPS.

Didnt help. What setting is VU cycle stealing on speedhacs?

I just checked my graphics card activity from ccc and it was 0%. It supposed to be bigger (when pcsx2 uses graphics card). Had some error on console

Heres picture of it

if you don't see this speed hack, you are probably using the latest stable 0.9.6 of pcsx2, get the latest official beta pack of pcsx2/plugins from this forum. vu cycle stealing works great with many 3d games, but don't overdo it, test it on slight or moderate first.
Its still not working. This maybe the problem: pcxs2 uses 0% of my gpu (checked from ccc)
Use the latest beta, use GSDX with Direct3D10 (hardware) check the "native" option there, use "Vu cycle stealing" set to the max.
Now its working better (but still about 45fps, helped that i installed catalyst 9.6)

and when i save its crashes the game.
If you mean by using savestates try changing both controller plugins to Lilypad and running pcsx2 as admin (right click)

Thanks, that helped for the saving problem.

Still having little lagging (50-60) but its not big.

Now its even using like 30% of my gpu.

Update to Catalyst 9.8 with hotfix.

If you can, purchase a copy or import of MGS3 PAL version, that way you will get full speed. In this case, the PAL version will run better as I have experienced!
