Games slow to load after upgrade of graphics card.

I have a Compaq presario sr5123wm. Running Vista service pack 2 . Had trouble with it shutting down or freezing up while playing games or or using the internet, it seened to do it more if I tried to do more than one thing at a time. So I changed the graphics card to Radeon HD 4550 and the power supply to 400 watt. I Also cleaned the inside, ran Norton scans and ran updates. That seemed to fix the lock ups. Now when I try to load sims 2 it stops responding and when I try to play World of Warcraft it load very slowly. any suggestions?
This question was solved.

HI,
It would have handled 4GB. It actuall would use only @3.25 GB in a 32-bit operating system.
The advantage is the way the memory bus sees a pair of identical memory modules. Your motherboard is capable of running them as Dual channel memory. If you don't have identical memory sticks in the slots the motherboard will run them single channel mode and that creates a bit of a bottleneck and slows down your PC. 
Unfortunately, you chose a non gaming video card. That is the central of the games loading slowly. The lack of memory in dual channel mode just compounds the problem.
You can bump the video up quite af ew notches with a NVIDIA GeForceGT 220 or 240 series video card. You may want to consider upgrading your PC instead of sinking funds into an older platform PC. There areplenty of games your pc is not capable of running at this stage  of its lifecycle.
Best regards,
erico

  • Safari slow to load after upgrading to 10.10.2

    Ever since upgrading my brand new Mac to 10.10.2, Safari has been exceedingly slow to load -- sometimes refusing to load, altogether.  Any help with this?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Pogo Games won't load after upgrade to Lion

    Upgraded to Lion recently.  Everything seems to be working okay, except that I play a lot of games on Pogo.com, and now none of the games will load.  I made sure everything (Java, etc) was up to date, but none of it fixed the problem.  I tried the games on both Safari and Firefox, and got the same result.  Any game I try to open just says "Now Loading (Name of Game)..." and that's all it does.
    I went back to an older mac that is still running Snow Leopard, and the games loaded just fine. So I figured it was an issue with Lion.
    BUT... on the Snow Leopard computer, I noticed I had an old version of Firefox installed, so I upgraded that to the newest version, and now Pogo games won't load on that either!  So, the problem isn't actually Lion.  It's the newest versions of the browsers.
    I tried contacting EA (pogo) support, but their help page is completely useless.  I thought I'd check and see if anyone here has any ideas.
    thanks,
    Dan

    I'm using Fouiny packages for a year (now it's cvs-20060621-1), as he provides ~all of them & they worked without issue ever since. Latest version's getting a bit old
    EDIT : known problem with new openssl !
    Finally found it here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=192536#192536

    Just upgraded my graphics card to the PCI ATI 9200 but now I have slower video playback than I had with the OEM Geforce AGP card. Does anyone know why this has happened? I thought I was gonna get better playback by upgrading

    Hi,
    Well, you have me scratching my head, that's a real puzzle.
    Try an Open Firmware re-set, do the 're-set all' procedure:

    Hi team
    my iphone got slow on keyboard after upgrade...  Any hints ?  Tia .

    No, I have not done a restore with no backup but I'll try (when my job will let me some time to spend for myself).
    Contacts, music, calendars etc. work fine (I don't have pictures on my iPhone) but everything "feels" slow and intermittent.
    I'll let you know about the complete initialization.

  • FPS drop in the game Counter strike after updating my graphics card.

    Hi, i just updated my graphic card drivers and after that the fps on a game i like to play dropped to about 5. Before it was 70-100.
    Its just unplayable and i cant figure out what it is, it has to do with the update.
    I tried another game and it floats the same way as before.
    The pc is a HP-Pavilion and the mode name is VN278AA-UUW m9860sc.
    The graphics card im using is ATI radeon HD 4650.
    Any idea what it may be?

    Hi TIMOWN,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 
    I am sorry to hear the your FPS has dropped so low after updating your Graphics card. I will try my best to help you with this. I suspect that you had a bad update and would suggest rolling back the driver to the previous version.
    The steps to rolling back a driver are in this document for Device Manager Information for Windows 8.
    I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
    Good luck and have a great day!

  • Slow video playback after reinstalling Geforce2 MX  card

    Ok, reinstalled (took out the 9200 card) my Geforce2Mx card and now everything is in super slow motion - video, scrolling, typing, opening and closing of apps, pull down menus, loading of web pages - everything. It's like being back on an old SE30 and now even that seems fast to what is happening now. What did I do wrong? Tried rebooting a few times and resetting pram with no better results.

    G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Installed the modified Radeon ATI 9600 Pro for G5 Edition card and I still have the same slow video playback results. However when I boot up from another internal hard drive I do not have the video problems. Everything works just fine. Both of my hard drives had no video problems before screwing around with the ATI cards and now the one still has the problems with the video playback. This one also has Classic on it and Classic also runs slow. BTW I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I ran a search result for "ATI" no files are installed on that 2nd hard drive which is playing video and loading pages with no problems. Would trashing all those ATI files on the slow drive do anything to help? Or is this just a coincidence?

  • Will Upgrading My Graphics Card Speed up Export Time?

    Hello:
    I am new to FCPX and I shot my first movie yeasterday and loved editing in FCPX. Here s my computer specs before I ask my question
    Mac Pro 2009 Quad Core 2.93 GHZ
    24GB Ram
    Graphic Card - NVIIDA GT120 512mb
    I use this computer for my recoridng studio and it works perfectly but now when working with video there are two things I noticed while working with my first project. I shot a 1920 X 1080 60P on my HD camcorder and the moive was 32 minutes. Here are the issues
    1. Im FCPX the play head in the time line sometimes seems a little choppy and the background render is pretty slow at times as well.
    2. When I went to export, the movie was going to me almost 10GB, so I purchased Compressor and in FCP went under FILE, SEND TO COMPRESSOR. I choose a 720P setting and started to process the batch. It took almost 8 hours to compress that footage which brought the file down to 1.5GB which was really great and the quality looks stunning, so I am happy aobut that.
    In doing some reseach, I found that upgrading my stock graphics card may be the solution to some of the speed issues in FCPX. I nver gave that a tohught as I am new to the video editing world. I was looking at a
    Sapphire HD 7950 3GB MAC Eddition
    This seems like to would be a mjor upgrade to my graphic card. So my question is, by upgrading my graphic card woudl this help my issues I described aobuve? I got to image that it could not hurt for sure.
    Thnaks for your time in advance.

    I hope that other people more knowledgeable can comment on the matter of the graphics card.
    I think that 8 hours is way too long for your hardware.
    Did you turn App Nap off? If not, do it NOW for FCP X and Compressor.
    Select the apps in the Finder, and hit Command I. In the Get Info window, check the box that says "Prevent App Nap".
    Also, I think that you could probably do the same export in less time in FCP X itself.
    FCP X has several export options. Compressor can be useful for a number of situations, especially for complex workflows, and if several macs can share the workload. I don't think Compressor makes any use of the GPU, so you would probably see no gain from the faster GPU in that export.
    In most cases, a single export like yours can be done faster and easier from FCP X itself. FCP X DOES use the GPU.
    As a test, I suggest that (after turning off App Nap, as described above) you try the same export from within FCP X.
    File->Share->Master File
    and in the Settings choose "Computer", H264 Better Quality and 1280x720.
    I bet it will take substantially LESS than 8 hours (maybe close to, or a little above real time at most).

  • Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
    I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
    Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

    Hi Emonn
    Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
    The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
    You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
    Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
    I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
    This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

  • I sit possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Macbook Pro?

    I own a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics card. I'm finding this graphics card pretty shocking when it comes to even the simplest of 3D games...i know probably my fault for choosing a laptop not suitable for gaming but still i did expect it to be able to handle graphics like on football manager.
    Anyway my question is, is there any way to upgrade my graphics card and how much would it cost?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I wouldn't expect Skype or iWork to be a problem. I don't know Spotify.
    Have you used Disk Utility to correct permissions? This is a routine maintenance procedure that can improve some things. If you are not familiar with using this utility it's sufficient to see at the end 'permissions repair complete' or similar. There are likely to be some messages saying certain things couldn't be corrected but usually these are not serious issues.
    The other thing to watch is whether you are running on battery power or mains. When there is intensive processor activity & some other internal activities too the computer might need mains power to perform at its best. You can try various things on battery alone then on battery & mains together and compare performance.

  • I want to upgrade my graphics card.

    I have issues with playing the newest games. I must use the lowest graphics settings. I want to upgrade my graphics card. I have a AMD 5450 PCI 2.0  now in a HPE-560z machine. I want to be able to play games on ultra settings if I can. What card do I buy that will run on my computer. I'm looking for more power, better graphics more memory and so on. But I have no idea what to buy that will just plug and play on what I got now. 

    Here is what "reading between the lines" sounds like is happening, but it is always better to spell things out...
    1st gen?
    ATI?
    GT120?
    Then can I surmise that you have the ATI X1900?
    Have you been checking for dust and cleaning it regularly?
    I don't know about Softimage, and ATI vs Nvidia drivers.
    If you look you will see that the GT120 is not supported. There is still the Nvidia 8800GT (there is one model for yours, and another for the 2008/2009 Mac Pro).
    Your most powerful card, if you look at the benchmark tests at Barefeats and OWC/MacSales is the ATI Radeon 4870.

  • I want to upgrade my graphics card, what's the restrictions?

    Hello. My MacBook description is 13" Late 2011. I want to upgrade the graphics card. It's currently Intel HD 3000. I want to play games like Guild Wars and Sims City once my finals are over. So probably nVidia something?
    However, is there a restriction? Can the MacBook support it?
    Also what is the price we're talking about. I called a repair centre a few minutes ago, and they said 1300 SGD! A little obscene! Is it really that price range?

    only practical way for you:
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/echoexpresschassis.html
    plus some gaming card from ATI preferrably
    but gaming PC will be just better for less
