Game description: God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War - far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed, his fate. God of War II sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars. In God of War II, players retake the role of Kratos. Armed with the deadly blades and blistering rage, players are aided by new breath-taking magic and new brutal combat moves. The journey takes them through vividly striking environments where they are faced with a labyrinth of challenging puzzles and mini-games intricately woven into the story. The violent world of Greek mythology comes to life in gory detail as Kratos encounters new mythical characters, and compete in epic boss battles in his quest.
God of War II is a third person action-adventure video game. Sequel to God of War, God of War II is loosely based on Greek mythology, and is set in Ancient Greece. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, the new God of War who has killed the former, Ares. Kratos is betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, who strips him of his godhood. Kratos is saved by the Titan Gaia who instructs Kratos to find The Sisters of Fate, who will allow him to travel back in time, avert his betrayal and change his destiny.

Hi i'm new to pcsx2 scene so sorry if this has been said already.I own a ps2 and i wanted to test some games on the emulator in order to see if i will be able to play them at better resolution than the original console.
Unfortunately this is not the case of both gow and gow2, you all know, the green screen, so it must be run in software mode, so no better resolution.
by the way i've noticed very poor performances, i got 24 fps with the hacks (gow 2 inital screen).
but i've noticed also that my 4.2ghz overclocked xeon cpu was doing almost nothing, 4 core + 4 hyper thread at 20% load, something was wrong..
i've changed the value inside the file GSdx.ini in my inis folder.
extrathreads=10
God Of War 2 Pcsx2 Cheat
i found that values between 10 and 12 gives the best performances for me, i've gone from 24 to 80 fps!! now the game is smooth 100% everywhere (well i've played only the first 10 minutes of both gow and gow2).
reading on various threads they say to put a value lower than you max cores, that was not true for me, performance increases up to 12, then it start decreasing.
the start screen of gow2 is heavier than in game, at least at the beginning i get up to 90 fps during the initial fight.
i'm using the latest 5731 build, GSdx5727 sse4.1 directx11 software mode.
speedhacks as on the screen below, if you have a good pc you may even try to disable them completely or lower the 2 sliders to minimum (as default)
all the rest is 'default'
God Of War 2 Pcsx2 Vertical Lines
so basically have a look on your task manager when you run games in software mode, you mast have at least 65/70% load on all cores, else you have to increase that value from the ini until you find the magic one. the start screen on gow2 is a nice benchmark cause is static.
