What about pcsx2 and pc games, is the performance what you would expect? What temps do you have while gaming? Sounds more like hardware issue to be frank.

Yes, I have performance issues with old and new versions of the emulator.
I just tested PCSX2 for you with DX11 at 3x native resolution, here are some screenshots with framerates way above 60fps:

Here's dolphin running other games at >60fps (dunno if they're really that graphics intensive, any suggestions to test? I remember that my older hardware, Q6600 @3.2ghz, couldn't get WW or DKCR to 60fps though):

Temps aren't a issue, as I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
Here are the temps while running SMG and while running a CPU stress test:

There aren't many CPU intensive games nowadays, as they're mostly GPU intensive (more so than CPU intensive, at least). I've finished GTA IV recently, though, and I remember it is regarded as really CPU intensive. There wasn't performance issues with it.

If yet this is really a hardware issue, how can I confirm that? Thanks again.
