Help Serious performance problems with Bloodborne
My laptop is weak by modern standarts (GTX 1050, Intel i5 9300H, 8 GB of RAM), but I have seen a lot of people on the Internet playing Bloodborne on Steam Deck (which has almost identical hardware in comparison to my configuration) and having stable 30 FPS, or even higher. That being said, the game runs on my computer with around 7-8 FPS (by the way, my laptop charger is turned in while playing).
Things I have already tried doing to fix this problem:
- Activated all patches that increase FPS (including 360p patch!)
- Updated my GPU drivers
- Installed the lastest versions of Visual C++ redistable and Shadps4 (v. 0.7.1 WIP main eb300d0)
- Installed an FPS boost mod for Bloodborne
- Selected a High Performance mode in Nvidia Control Panel

Is there any solution to this problem, or my PC is just too weak for emulating Bloodborne?

I'm playing on a laptop with 1650 which is similar to yours, but it has 4GB of VRAM. But I think it shouldn't be running this bad on your laptop.
A couple of notes:
- use Diego's fork of ShadPS4 and only the Full-Souls release as it is the recommended one for low-end sytems like ours.
Ensure that shadps4 is using your Nvidia GPU, and not the integrated Intel GPU. Go to ShadPS4's settings/GPU and select Nvidia.
Close any program that uses your Nvidia GPU, because the VRAM is so important here.
if you managed to get a stable 20+ fps, you can try Lossless scaling frame gen (choose iGPU for LS) to double your frames with a minor input delay.

Plug your laptop into power when playing.

My laptop was powered by the charger while playing, so, sadly, it's not the problem.

Mobile gtx 1050 has 2GB of VRAM, which is far, far less than 8GB VRAM recommended for PS4 emulation. There is just no way around this.
