So I've finally been able to get the emulator up and running well.
I've been having most of the same issues with things in FFX that everyone else has. The menus are running swell, >45 FPS, but the intro sequence runs quite slow, the most I've achieved is about 1.8 FPS? But it does look phenomenal, I must say. Swell swell work guys.
Specs:
Well, my GFX card I believe plays a major role in my speed issues, I'm running a GeForceFX 5600XT. I know you mentioned the 5000 line isn't supported, but I came up with some peculiar happenings while running the emu with it. Pretty much everything would run correctly but at a much slower pace. And also, I don't believe my card has any kind of Pixel Shader 2.0 support, but it runs that setting with the GSDX9 plug like it's nothing and also I have no problems running ZeroGS with it (except for a slight speed decrease beyond what GSDX9 was giving me.) I don't know exactly what contributes to it, but nevertheless things aren't moving too fast. I'm looking to upgrade my card soon, though, probably an ATI card for a change. Would any of you recommend an ATI over an nVidia chipset, one way or the other?
