Lower performance in PCSX2 for seemingly no reason

This is my first ever attempt at setting up PCSX2 so I guess the Noobs forum is the best place for it.

I tried copying a config from another guy that apparently reached 60fps in Shadow of the Collossus and assorted games. I set it all up, but the game was ridiculously bright and run at nearly half speed, making it unplayable. I then found another config on youtube that used the same CPU as me, with a worse GPU (I have an i5 3570k and GTX 770), yet I copied his settings and it made the graphics look even worse with extremely low quality and white artifacts appearing, and still not a solid 60 as he got in his gameplay demonstration.

I copied every setting from both examples, what could be causing such a slowdown for me? I'm using the latest dev build, could that be it?

PCSX2 is such a finicky emulator that it really is difficult to troubleshoot it sometimes because it really varies from game to game and individual systems.

I would suggest watching this video from @SIMPLY AUSTIN on getting it setup and also checking out the wiki page for it for individual settings.

Turns out the video and post I were using were 7 years old. That's probably a pretty big reason :P

Someone else gave me a config and it managed to get the game running really well, I'll give it another try when I get a better CPU I guess. Thanks for the youtube link though, I'll see if I can get any of my other games working with it.
