PCSX2 running really slow. Please help. Thread starter dy Start date Jul 11, Forums Software PC Gaming. JavaScript is disabled.

But every game that I've tried so far runs like crap. My computer seems to be way above the recommend system requirements. But I can't get more the 20fps in any game, and the games are pretty much unplayable because of all the slow motion stuttering. My system specs are: Amd A8 k Gtx ti 8gb ddr3 4gb x 2. Rogue Leader It's a trap! Dec 22, 30, 1, 95, 3, None of the PS2 games on that emulator play as good or even close to as good as the actual PS2. I gave up on it a couple months ago.

I think its the emulator, not your PC. I forgot to add that I overclocked the a8 k to 4. Nov 13, 0 10, I have problems playing games with it on my rig too, and it can handle AAA titles with ease.

To be honest your processor is a bit weak for it. They recommend an FX or an i5, and I have to agree, everything I've read says its very demanding on the processor.

Your CPU isn't enough to begin with. Don't waste the time. I guess they need to update their recommended specs because according pcsx2's website these are the recommended specs. Yeah take those with a grain of salt. It wishes it worked that efficiently to work on those processors.

How well do you think my specs will run dolphin? I'd really like to play splinter cell again! Probably just as crappy for Wii, but less on Gamecube games.

Emulators need a lot of horsepower to work right. Yeah I've had better luck with GameCube, as sad as that is. May 2, 14, 90 75, 3, I've tried dolphin and pcsx2 on a k and it worked fine with res and textures turned up.

It should be enough, check your cpu and gpu usage. Is the ik stronger then an Ak? The ik is far faster than your processor. I know that A series apu's dont have an L3 cache so that makes them preform a lot worse then the older model intel's.
