There are two resolutions to be aware, one is the screen resolution, with a max dictated by the AR (aspect rate) and the size of your monitor.
The other is what is being discussed here, the texture resolution. Upscaling is not really increasing the resolution since it can't help with fine details the real resolution brings. What it does is calculating boundaries so to smooth the image, still, after some point it will contribute only to make the image blurrier
Understanding that difference is important for a game can run at 1080p (for example) with very low texture resolution or run at, lets say 1600x900 with greater texture resolution. The first will show more things, the second will show less things but more detailed. For PC games even this is not granted for a game may present the same image at different screen resolutions, losing only sharpness in the smaller.
Besides, the better upscaling is not always linear, some games may present strips and glitches if just doubling the original resolution, tripling and so... I remember a few that ran better at 1200x1200 than 2x the original (which presented the mentioned strips). Use that information to test and find better values if certain game does not upscale well.

^ Does anyone have screenshots of PCSX2 games at the higher resolutions? Like 6x, 8x etc scaling. Interested to see the maximum visual output the PCSX2 is capable of.

i had noodles tonight so this might be wrong.
Agreed with above could be CPU too.
But there is something called "Bottleneck"
I am sure you will know what it means.
if not then check Wikipedia.
it means that if you have an GTX 690 GPU(just think) with an old P4 means you CPU is bottlenecking your GPU.
The formula is CPU = GPU You need to have equal amount of strength in CPU and GPU to harness the performance of your PC.
