Sadly I can't check right now as I'm at work but it's fairly straightforward now. Smoothest settings I have found are EE set to 1 (default setting) VU set to 2 (any higher and animations get very choppy when post processing effects are present), Make sure MTVU is unchecked at this causes slow down for me and GDX set to directx9 at 3x native res. The default setup is enhancement settings (compliment/enhance the original game's image, without changing it's overall tone & feel) and pretty neutral, so people who don't want to play with the settings can just turn it on and use it.Settings wise you don't really need to tinker with much as too much VU Cycle Stealing actually impacts performance or in the case of SotC it internally skips frames despite showing a solid 50/60 vfps.

Use the documentation comments inside the configuration file for instructions on each option. Settings are clearly sectioned, and labeled. More information and downloads can be found hereĪsmodean: "You can enable, or disable each effect, from inside the shader settings file.

The collection is supplied by default with PCSX2 starting with version 1.3.0 (see the most recent development builds). It's also associated with a configuration file GSdx_FX_Settings.ini that can be modified by the user. This is a collection of shaders included in GSdx.fx file. You can find a number of shader.fx files created by the community in this forum post.Try to fiddle with settings until you find the one that better suits your need for a particular game. On low end systems the combined use of Fx Shader and FXAA and/or a high custom resolution can hinder rendering speed. Enable the Use FX Shader checkbox in the GSdx settings.Enable the external shader in GSdx using one of the three methods below:.Rename the extracted file to shader.fx (remember to back up the existing shader.fx file in case you will want to restored it later).Note that from PCSX2 version 1.3.0 the shader should be placed in a special shaders folder instead of the root folder. Extract the *.fx file inside your PCSX2 directory (where the main executable file is located).
