[FF2000]

I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to increase my FPS on Pcsx2? I can only get around 34FPS during FMV's and it stays right at about 44 during regular game play.

Specs
Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Quad Core 2.4ghz
4gb ddr2 ram
ATI 4870 1gb

Plugins
Graphics GSdx ssse3 v0.1.8
Cdvdrom Linuz iso cdvd .8.0
Sound SPU2-X 1.1.0

Yeah overclock cpu arround/over 3 Ghz depending on the games if your motherboard supports it, but for that make sure your cooling is good enough, there are various threads here about the same thing use the search function (also you can google to learn more about overclocking).

Overclock a 9.2ghz computer??? that seems a bit odd. Also the emulator itself is saying that its only using 35% of my cpu anyway. Any ideas?

quad/dual core =/= single core with all the frequencies summed up (simply put, quad core 2.4 =/= single core 9.6). Also PCSX2 only uses 2 cores (make sure you have MTGS enable). Have you toked a look at the guide ? PCSX2.net - Guide Also you could try the latest GSDX plugin.

Yeah I followed the guide looked on youtube etc. Ive just read on other sites how people have gotten games like FFX and X-2 to work at between 95% and 100% FPS all the time, just no one explains how. My comp is pretty high grade so PS2 games should be easy for it to handle.

Nope. Emulation requires more power than you can imagine.

FFX, no pb. Emulation is near perfect.

FFX-2, fmv's are slow whatever you do.

You need to overclock the cpu like i said to at least 3 Ghz (if you want full speed) ... also using DX10 Gabest also adds a speed boost.

I overclocked my e8400 to 3.27 Ghz and have a radeon 4850 and my movies/FMV's run 59-60 FPS, only slows down so far when i use basch's 3rd quickening. Gameplay is perfect. So yeah overclock and you should get full speed since you have a better graphics card than me.

What? Hungh? Someone called?

FF2000, check this thread for some discussion on PCSX2's needs. It should at least give you an idea of the basics to understand that it's not all about more cores. It starts about halfway through the first page.
