God of War III [BCUS98111]

Those sound like too much problems for a "playable" game, also, 22-60fps even on a 9900K?? Yeah that doesn't sound like playable to me at all

You are totally right.  As I observed, the game framelimit is set to AUTO.  So, some area perform well with 30FPS or 60FPS (it depends).  Also, if you have those condition, the game lags so much::- 

• RPCS3 = HDD & Backup = HDD  ==>  Very Slow (Loading blackscreen)
  
• RPCS3 = SSD & Backup = HDD  ==>  Normal speed (sometime Loading blackscreen + Hanging/Freezing)
  

Therefore, I suggest  

• RPCS3 = SSD/NVMe & Backup = SSD/NVMe  ==>  Very Fast!!
  

when using NVMe storage (e.g. 3500MB/2500MB), the FPS dropping/recovery just happened very fast in second. Even Compiling Shader happened in blank. you rarely feel few lagging or FPS dropping.


Check your storage speed transfer.
