Getting very low frame rates in every game in my pavilion dv6-3121tx windows 7 64-bit

hi sir/mam i like to play games on my laptop but half of the games which i play lags on my laptop i even updated my graphics card driver but after installation it a message appears showing that your device is not compatible please help me in solving my problem

Here is a link for update for your computer http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4319343&lc=en&cc=in&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=in

Some downloaded music videos, very low frame rate.

I download various music videos, the majority play without any problems, some however virtually freeze even though the music is still playing fine. Any feedback or suggestions welcome.
Also getting the occasional itunes lockup.
Running 64bit Vista, 768 8800 Video card, 2 gig mem, Intel core 2 duo 6700 2,66 GHz and running twin raptors in Striped raid 0.
Am also using latest version of itunes.

Someone here may have suggestions as to possible workarounds, but I can tell you that iTunes (and QuickTime) are not compatible with nor supported on any 64-bit version of Windows. In some cases it may work, but it's quite likely that there will be problems or failures.

Bootcamp Vista and Low Frame Rates

Hey Guys,
I've got a MBP Santa Rosa, and I've loaded Vista (both 32bit and x64) at varying stages onto bootcamp, and I seem to get very low frame rates. In TF2 I'm only topping out around 50 to 60 (vsync isn't on)
I've tried the official bootcamp drivers and also some from Laptopvideo2go. I'm at a bit of a loss here.
Can anyone recommend a decent driver set or at least provide some numbers on what they're getting in TF2 or the Source engine stress test?
Screen settings are at 1280x1024 with all settings at default recommendation.
Tried 3dmark06 but it runs at about 15FPS in the first test and I bail out cause I can't bare to watch it like that.

Fair point Sorry

Why do I get low frame rate for games while charging?

I have a Lenovo g505s laptop , and when I play games while charging(plugged in) , the frame rates for every game drop to 15-20 fps. Is there any driver update that I require? Or any other solution to this problem?
Solved!

Poor performance / low frame rate

Hi
Well I have a scenegraph with some objects imported
from vrml files and a lot of boxes (1200 Box objects)
So when I move the view (camera) to see my model
when i pass near the boxes i have a very low frame rate
3 ,4 ,5 max.
When I don't include the boxes into my scenegraph
i get a better frame rate 15 16 17 max.This scene contains about 30 objects loaded from vrmk file.
apx. 1000 boxes are so hard to render?
they are grouped together like in a container terminal.
what can cause this?
is this scenegraph to large?
The computer is very good 2Gb DDRAM, a very good graphic card (128 Mb).
Please answer to me or give a hint
Regards
Cristian
PS. I have also noticed that when I tried the well known java3d HelloUniverse program with 1000 colored cubes it was very slow when i resized the window?
Do i do something wrong or java3d is slow ?
Thx again

Well, 1200 boxes equals 14,400 faces/polygons (2 per side of the cube) to be rendered. Plus, with the addition of the objects imported it'll be higher.
The graphics adapter may not be powerful enough to render this amount at an acceptable frame rate. Having 128MB of RAM doesn't mean it's fast.

9400M intermittent low frame-rate : let's get heard !

hello
i have the exact same problem described on this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2085771&tstart=1
" Has anyone else noticed, the performance of the NVIDIA 9400M graphics chip is intermittent. Sometimes everything will be fast and smooth and fluid, and suddenly it will switch to having a low frame rate.
A good example of this is in iPhoto's Full-Screen Edit mode. As you tap through the image with the right/left arrows, the animation can be quite jerky and slow. Then suddenly it will switch to being really fast.
Have Apple just not optimised the NVIDIA 9400M graphics drivers yet? Will its performance be better in the near future? "
sam problem, except it's on a 24" iMac . (latest one - 2 X 2.66 ghz + 4go RAM + 9400m)
the problem happens constantly when i use my firewire soundcard. guess what : i'm a musician, and my firewire soundcard is on all the time !
it also happens when i copy files from my external firewire hard disk, or if i use my macbook on target mode.
the only way to make this problem disappear is to switch to 1280 X 960 resolution (or below). therefore the 9400M has enough power to overcome the drain created by ... either bad drivers or a problem with firewire... i don't know.
anyone knows when the drivers will be updated ? if a new firmware is in the work ?
thanks

i guess not so many people use the firewire 800 port.
had to pay 15 euros to get a 800>400 cable, so no wonder ...
here's my bug report
hello
here's my setup :
iMac 2.66 ghz / 4 gigs of RAM / 640 go HD / Nvidia 9400M graphic chip
Leopard 10.5.7
when any firewire device is in use, the frame rate switches from fast / fluid to slow / lag-ish.
simply launching Dashboard shows the frame rate drop. same problem with Expose.
the problem happens exactly the same weither i use my firewire soundcard (echo audiofire 8), my external hard drive (WD mybook 750 go) or my macbook in target mode.
the problem disappears when i turn off my soundcard, or when the external hard drive is idle. another way to "fix" the problem is switching to a lower resolution ( 1280 X 960 ).
i've spent more than 30 minutes with apple on the phone, we did a lot of tests, and the technician came to the conclusion the computer was perfectly working.
this definitely looks like a driver problem.
i've started a discussion about the matter here :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2085911&tstart=0
some users have the same problem :

NVidia GT 120 and intermittent low frame-rate with Expose, Dashboard...

I have an iMac early 2009 with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (256 Mo) graphic card.
I have intermittent low frame-rate problems with Expose, Dasboard and several other large animations...
For example, when I trigger Expose or Dashboard, the animation may sometimes be choppy (with few intermediate images) to very choppy (practically no intermediate images)...
The second after, the same animation may feature a very high frame-rate...
Neither Apple diagnostic tool nor TechTool Deluxe finds any hardware problem.

I have the same iMac, and also have this same problem.
When I first activate Dashboard, the animation is choppy. If I activate it several times in a row very quickly, the animation smooths out noticeably. It's as though the video card is asleep, or cycled down, and then wakes up and springs into action.
This is testable. If I run the command line utility OpenCL Bench immediately following a restart, my iMac's GT 120 gives a time of 14 seconds. If I open iTunes, turn on the visualizer, and then run OpenCL Bench again, the GT 120 gives a time of 1.7 seconds! If I turn off the visualizer, wait a few seconds, and re-run OpenCL Bench, the GT 120's time increases to 5.6 seconds.
The same performance increase/decrease shows up with Dashboard. If I open Dashboard with the iTunes Visualizer running, right off the bat, Dashboard's animation is very smooth. If I turn off the visualizer and wait about 30 seconds, Dashboard's animation is back to choppy.
This is not dependent on the iTunes Visualizer. I can have the "OpenCL Procedural Grass and Terrain Example" running, for example, and get the same results from OpenCL Bench and Dashboard.

One swf running on lower frame rate

Hi,
I have a basic loader swf, which loads several external swf's and displays them in a browser. Now all the other swfs work just fine, at 24 fps, but one particular swf drops down to 12 or 11 fps in the middle of the timeline. Why is this happening?? And how can I get it to run at the same frame rate as the others.
There is some heavy animation in all the external swf's but that does not seem to affect any other files, only this one. Also, the animation is not heavy throughout, though the low frame rate persists...
What could be wrong???Any help will be greatly appreciated..as the entire site is looking bad because of this file...:|

Have you tried just loading the problematic file? Does is play better? Does this problematic file play correctly alone?

Getting a good frame rate going

It seems like even with the simplest flash app, I'm not
getting a great frame rate. I wrote the attached code just to
display the frame rate.
If I set the movie frame rate to 60, then I'm seeing
displayed frame rates of around 37. If I set it to 30, I'm seeing
around 24. My computer is fast enough to run high-end games at
solid frame rates, so I don't think that is the issue.
Is there anything that I'm missing, or is this just something
I need to live with?
Thanks.

sorry jigidyjim i don't really have a solution for you but i
thought some diagnostic information may help.
i tried your code on my dual-core 2.1GHz machine.
At 60FPS, i was seeing about 55-56, and at 25FPS, i was
seeing pretty close to 25 most of the time. So it pretty much ran
as expected.
good luck with it!

Very low Transmit Rates

I am experiencing very low transmit rates when using the 5GHz band. It goes down to Transmit rates of 56, and when i use the 2.4 n only it's still low at 90-117, I think it's really effecting my download speeds on the Apple TV when we're renting HD movies. It says it'll take and hour to be ready to play. Do you think that our Time Capsule is faulty?

On 2.4 GHz band, the link-speed (transmit rate) you are getting is average.
However, when you downloading a rental movie, the bottleneck is your broadband connection.
Have seen Apple's published figures on buffering time before you can start watching an HD movie?
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html#movierentals
Most people have a broadband speed between 2Mbps - 768kpbs, so the wait time is somewhere between 2 - 8 hours.
IMO, your TC is working correctly, there is nothing to worry about.

JPEG viewing low frame rate.

Hi, I am trying to play a list of jpeg files using player, as if it is a jpeg movie. But I am getting low frame rate, like 10 fps. However, by using the same jpeg files, and make it in a .mov file, the player could play it at 30 fps (the setting during making the stream). The .mov file is produced using the same setting as the program JpegImagesToMovie posted on the forum.
The testing applet that run the movie in full rate is (simplified, without exception catching):
url = new URL(getDocumentBase(), mediaFile);
mediaFile = url.toExternalForm();
MediaLocator mrl = new MediaLocator(mediaFile);
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(mrl);
player.start();
For the JPEG file stream, the player is created as:
Player player = Manager.craetePlayer(customdatasource); // refer to below for the custom data source class
1. Is it I need to make the data source format to something else , so that the player will play it with 30 fps instead of the slow 10 fps rate?
2. How would a player render a jpeg image faster? I checked the timing, the loading time for each jpeg file is less than 1 ms, but it took the player around 100 ms to render the loaded image.
I created my own PullBufferDataSource and PullBufferStream. Below is the list of my program. I make the datasource and datastream to load a image file each time the:
read( Buffer buf)
method is called in the datastream class.
public class MJPEGDataSource extends PullBufferDataSource {
protected InputStream sourceStream = null;
private MJPEGDataStream streams[];
public MJPEGDataSource(int width, int height, int frameRate, String sourceFile) {
     streams = new MJPEGDataStream[1];
     streams[0] = new MJPEGDataStream(width, height, frameRate, sourceFile);

if(in.length > 4) return -1;
int result = (in[3] << 24) + ((in[2] << 16) & 0x00FF0000) +
((in[1] << 8) & 0x0000FF00) + ((int)(in[0]) & 0x000000FF);
return result;

Hi again.
I found the solution to my problem. In the read(Buffer buf) function, the buf timestamp and sequencenombur should be set in order to play at the expected frame rate (30 fps in my case):
public void read(Buffer buf) throws IOException {
if (infile.available() <= 0) {
System.err.println("Done reading all images.");
buf.setEOM(true);
buf.setOffset(0);
buf.setLength(0);
eofMarker = true;
return;
byte data[] = null;
if (buf.getData() instanceof byte[])
data = (byte[]) buf.getData();
byte byteSize[] = new byte[4];
infile.read(byteSize);
int size = byteToInt(byteSize);
if (data == null || data.length < size) {
data = new byte[size];
buf.setData(data);
infile.read(data, 0, size);
buf.setOffset(0);
buf.setLength(size);
buf.setFormat(format);
buf.setFlags(buf.getFlags() | buf.FLAG_KEY_FRAME);
// ====== added line ========
long time = (long) (seqNo * (1000 / format.getFrameRate()) * 1000000);
buf.setTimeStamp(time);
buf.setSequenceNumber(seqNo++);
Thanks for reading.

IPad 2 freezes, RAM memory gets very low

My iPad 2 WiFi (ios 7.02) will often freeze when memory gets very low. A memory manager shows the RAM gets as low as 20mb. It was doing this before upgrading to ios 7. It is even worse now. No apps are set to refresh in background.

You cannot be certain at all that the freeze is memory related, otherwise it would be happening on all iPads.
Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

Why lose mbps when conform to lower frame rate?

When I export a QT pro res HQ movie out of MOTION 4, with the same settings as the sequence (Pro res HQ 422, 59,96 fps 1280x720p), it renders out a good, same 221mbps file, but when I then take that file into Cinema Tools and conform it to 23.98fps, the file is now 88mbps? Why and how, and did losing 140mbps somehow lose also color correction and other quality capabilities?
Why does CT lose many mbps when conforming to lower frame rate?
Thanks
K

Thanks fo replies - I shot in 60 fps 720p to purposely slomo the shots in MOTION using Optical flow - then I conform to 23.98 using Cinema Tools, though I guess I could do the same by exporting to 23.98 out of MOTION 4. Wonder if there is any advantage or otherwise using CT over MOTION export to 23.98?
Nick is right, I can see a decline in visual quality/sharpness in the footage now conformed at 23.98. Should I export out of MOTION at PR HQ or 4444 or uncompressed? Hoping to preserve what I think is 10-bit footage recorded on ATOMOS NINJA at PR HQ422, which is 10 bit correct? But when I choose PR HQ 422 in MOTION export, it says (at the bottom summary of my codec) that it's HQ at 8-bit? Why and how to preserve 10-bit for color grading?

Low frame rates under Windows 7?

Greetings Mac users! I bought Windows 7 Home Edition today with the intention of dual booting with Snow Leopard. I have a 17" Macbook Pro purchased back in May of 2008. The installation of Windows 7 went off without a hitch - as well as the installation of the BootCamp drivers. I've updated to the latest Nvidia display drivers as well.
The problem I'm having occurs when I try to play games on the machine. Using Half-Life 2 as an example, the frame rate starts out as a strong 100+ that is consistent for about two minutes. After a small period of time it will drop to around 40 - 70 fps, with noticeable video lag.
I'm aware that official BootCamp support for Windows 7 is not yet available. Is my problem related to an old set of chipset drivers that are not compatible with 7? It's very frustrating because every application besides the games run fine. I have had Windows Vista before on the same computer with no problems at all.
Thanks in advance for any advice. My apologies if this is a topic that has been addressed somewhere else in the forum - I searched around and did not find anyone with this specific problem.

Memory (and resources) are not just RAM, but also one's Windows Virtual Memory, i.e. the Page File.
Many programs and Processes load at boot up, and a lot of those are not really needed. Computers from retail companies are some of the worst offenders, as tons of bloatware are usually included. These rob necessary resources.
This ARTICLE will give some tips on getting your machine ready for an editing session.
There are also several FAQ entries that give tips on optimizing the program, the OS and the hardware. Those are all worth reading.

High Latency with low frame rate

I'm getting 30 seconds of latency (between source video and
FME input window) when frame rate is set to 1.00 fps. With higher
frame rates, latency is very low.
Odd behavior: when switching from, say, 29.97 to 1.00 fps, I
see every frame (no frames are dropped), but they paint at only 1
per second (which means a large buffer is building somewhere).
After several seconds, the behavior switches to the expected 1 fps
(with all intervening frames dropped), but the whole thing is
delayed by roughly 30 seconds.
build: FME 2.5.0.2086
format: H.264 or VP6 (happens with both)
size: 352 x 240
bit rate: 200 Kbps
keyframe freq: 1 sec
Am I doing something wrong?

My encoding machine is a Gateway Pentium 4, 2 GHz with 1
GByte RAM, Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Video capture is done with a Pinnacle 510-USB peripheral,
Pinnacle driver 4.0.46.0.
Here's how I observe the problem: my input video is a color
bar pattern with burned-in time code. When I switch frame rates
from 29.97 fps to 1 fps, I see each and every frame appear in the
Media Encoder monitor window (as verified by looking at the
burned-in frame counter). However, only one 1 frame per second is
rendered. For example, I first see 01:00:00:01, then 1 second later
I see 01:00:00:02, then 1 second after that: 01:00:00:03, etc.
After several seconds, I then begin to see the burned-in time
code jumping in 1 second counts -- the expected behavior:
01:00:20:13, next second: 01:00:21:13, next second: 01:00:22:13,
etc.
The problem occurs when switching from any rate lower than my
source video rate of 29.97 fps, it's just that it's easier to
describe what happens at the lower 1 fps rate.
