Improving performanc​e.

Before i wiped my computer, i was able to get 60 frames or higher all the time in a game called Guild Wars. Since then im lucky to get 30. Ive closed start up programs, and requested help by email and nothing seems to help it. I was told to do memory tests and such, but i have no idea whether it worked or not. Any other suggestions?

When you say "frames" do you mean frames per second as in video frames?
I'm assuming Guild Wars is an online game - you got the correct NIC & video drivers loaded?
Get a copy of PC Wizard from sysinternals.com and test/benchmark your fresh machine.

    Hello pcyservice
    There is NOT a way to downgrade/roll-back/revert to a previous firmware without wiping all data.  This is specifically mentioned on the firmware update page:
    " CAUTION!
    This update is not data destructive, however, ALWAYS back up your data before performing any firmware update!
    Once you have updated the firmware, you will NOT be able to revert to an older firmware version."
    I recommend you disable any unnecessary features/protocols such as Media Server and Active Folders, then reboot the unit.
    If you are still experiencing performance issues, please contact LenovoEMC support to troubleshoot further.

  • Will Installing more RAM improve performanc​e, IF laptop has "available memory" not being used?

    My laptop has 2x 1GB of RAM.
    Right now, and usually, The Physical Memory shown in Task Manager, shows that there is "available memory" (currently it's 500megs worth). (And "system cache" says 300megs.)
    There is also, right now, 2.5GB of page filing being used.
    If I were to replace the 2GB of RAM with 4GB (of the same Mhz), would there be a noticable increase in performance?
    (windows XP 32bit OS)

    A matched set of DDR2 ram will perform a lot faster one memory not matched. Its required for the double data rate to work. Hence 2+2 is the max you'd need/want in a 32bit machine. Windows 7 was built for large memory footprints. XP was built to run just barely in 64MB but really needed a min of 128MB to support a network connection and printing. It was never enable to truely go a whole lot further than a few machines built capable of 1GB. There was even a bug which was patch causing problems if a !GB or more was available. Just because it can see it does not mean it actually uses it !! The kernal by default is swapped in/out of ram even in larger memory systems. Why, it was is not aware of the extra memory and does not change its behavour from a 512MB machine.
    As for the 1333Mhz ram the timing may be faster than the other memory used. Hence it flow the data faster on the bus. Fewer delays in various cycles including the RAS/CAS etc but thats all under the hood so to speak.

  • Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.

    Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
    As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
    How can this be stopped?
    Macbook Pro 2010 i7 8GB RAM
    Thanks,

    To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
    Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
    I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card.

  • How to improve and boost my laptop's performanc​e ?

    Hi there,
    My personal laptop is Lenovo THINKPAD T500 2055, and its main specifications are as follows:
    - Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2)
    - 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module 4 GB (2 x 4 GB) 1066MHz DDR31066/PC38500 DDR3 SDRAM SoDIMM Kingston
    - 2 GB Intel Turbo Memory hard drive cache
    - ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256MB.
    - 160 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm.
    - Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1 (x64).
    My problem precisely and concisely is that I am NOT happy nor satisfied with the performance of my laptop at all, and I need your assitance and advises to boost my laptop's performance.
    I do NOT use my laptop for games at all. Also, I do NOT use my laptop for working with graphics at all.
    I am using my laptop for surfing the Internet (Chatting, Reading, Watching Videos...etc).
    Also, I have Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive, from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041OSQ9S) that I use for Software development (Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Vmware) purposes.
    Though I don't have any heavy applications running on my laptop such as (Norton AntiVirus...etc), I feel that my laptop is not fast. BTW, there's no viruses or malicious software that are affecting my laptop or its memory. 
    Therefore, I want to ask you, what can I do to improve the performance of my laptop and increase its speed ?
    I would greatly appreciate your inputs.
    Thanks for your consideration of my request, and I very much look forward to hearing from you soon !

    Once again, I am NOT happy nor satisfied with the performance of my laptop at all, because it is not fast, and I am not impressed at all by its poor performance. Truthfully, I regret so much that I have bought it.
    I can conclusively that I am having an extremely unpleasant experience with my laptop, and I wish to get rid of it as soon as possible.
    More than 7 years ago, I bought a desktop PC (Pentium 4: CPU 2.5 GB & 2 GB RAM), I swear it has the same performance with my current laptop.
    Do you feel me? Do you understand why I am sad, not satisfied and unhappy about my laptop?
    I paid a lot for this laptop, and I bought extra RAM, and I bought external hard drive (To keep my hard drive empty)…. What is the result? Just a very normal laptop performance…
    When I open two word documents files with a movie (Windows Media Player or any other player) and I try to open one small PDF file, then, it will take more than 15 seconds to open the file…. Why on earth this is happening?
    When I work with Vmware, Windows Virtual PC, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or Hyper-V… The laptop becomes very sluggish with totally unacceptable performance, it is just dying, and when you open a PDF file or word document, it will take about 30 seconds to open.
    Do you feel me? Do you understand why I am sad, not satisfied and unhappy about my laptop?
    Both application load time and process response time are embarrassment.
    When I swtich on my laptop, it takes about 3 minutes to display Login-Screen. When I enter the password, it takes about 30 seconds to open properly though there is no startup programs (Programs runs when the OS starts) at all.
    @ColonelONeill
    You wrote “Run CCleaner”.
    Could you please provide me more details? I mean: Could you please give me a link of the specific tool that you have mentioned?
    Also, you asked me “Is your drive well defragged”?
    Well, I think yes. Sometimes I right clicked on the drive C:  -> Properties -> Tools -> Defragmentation.
    Also, you wrote “Make sure the power settings are configured for optimal performance.” 
    Could you please provide me steps and instructions to do so?
    @Q-Ball   &   @Ideasmiths
    Your suggestion about buying SSD is very logical, However, I am not going to buy it. Simply because the whole laptop is not worthy and somehow I believe that the feeling of 'slow' speed will never stop. I already did a mistake and bought extra RAM for this useless laptop…. What happens ….nothing really has changed.
    Also, I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, and I don’t have fingerprint reader feature.
    @ lead_org
    You wrote “When you say not fast, can you precisely define what you mean?”?
    Please read the first parts of my post.
    You wrote “check whether you are consuming up all your CPU resources”?
    Yes, I do that. About 30% CPU Usage and 2,9 GB PF Usage. My laptop has never approached 100% load.

  • Would upgrading my internet speed improve Netflix performanc​e?

    I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding netflix and ISPs which I'm not really interested in. I just know my netflix streaming is terrible right now and I would be willing to upgrade my internet speed if it meant that would improve. Any idea if it would? Thank you/

    NO! Don't do it.
    You'll just be throwing more money at Verizon with no change in performance. Realistically you could probably downgrade your speed, save yourself money, and see no change in your Netflix performance.

    Greetings, Kanuski!
    You have a quite the set-up there.
    I see you want to expand your storage capacity, so I'd suggest to check out WD Green drives. They are recommended for primary use as secondary storage for archiving and have increased reliability, which is ideal for storing your photography files.
    You can check them out here: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=78​0
    I hope this will solve your storage concern.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Does rooting Xperia L improve its camera performance

    Does rooting Xperia L to custom ROM improve its camera performance

    As uliwooly said.
    You should know that rooting is just unlocking the lock that has been put on the system by sony so that users don't delete/ change anything in system by mistake.
    So it's obvious camera quality won't change unless you do some changes with the camera files after rooting.

  • FI-CA events to improve performance

    Hello experts,
    Does anybody use the FI-CA events to improve the extraction performance for datasources 0FC_OP_01 and 0FC_CI_01 (open and cleared items)?
    It seems that this specific exits associated to BW events have been developped especially to improve performance.
    Any documentation, guide should be appreciate.
    Thanks.

    Thanks to all for the replies
    @Sybrand
    Please answer first whether the column is stored in a separate lobsegment.
    No. Table,Index,LOB,LOB index uses the same TS. I missed adding this point( moving to separate TS) as part of table modifications.
    @Hemant
    There's a famous paper / blog post about CLOBs and Database Flashback. If I find it, I'll post the URL.
    Is this the one you are referring to
    http://laimisnd.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/lobs-and-flashback-database-performance/
    By moving the CLOB column to different block size , I will test the performance improvement it gives and will share the results.
    We dont need any data from this table. XML file contains details about finger prints and once the application server completes the job , XML data is deleted from this table.
    So no need of backup/recovery operations for this table. Client will be able to replay the transactions if any problem occurs.
    @Billy
    We are not performing XML parsing on DB side. Gets the XML data from client -> insert into table -> client selects from table -> Upon successful completion of the Job from client ,XML data gets deleted.
    Regarding binding of LOB from client side, will check on that side also to reduce round trips.
    By changing the blocksize, I can keep db_32K_cache_size=2G and keep this table in CACHE. If I directly put my table to CACHE, it will age out all other operation from buffer which makes things worse for us.
    This insert is part of transaction( Registration of a finger print) and this is the only statement taking time as of now compared to other statements in the transaction.
    Thanks,
    Arun

  • Follow up to Apple TV & TCmuch improved over last two days

    I finally have it working.
    copy a .m4v file internal hard drive to TC at 15.5 M/sec acceptable
    add to itunes library in just a few seconds...
    upload to Apple TV from TC speed is fine, much improved and acceptable, getting peaks of 11.15M/sec
    Capacity on Apple TV shows and is correct
    no dropouts from itunes
    I had to change a few things about my previous network...moved the TC to center of house near open door wall pointing at Apple TV.
    Set TC to N speed wireless at 5 ghz , it will be dedicated to Apple Tv.
    My network is complicated...TC is main router with two Extreme N bridged and one Express along with Vonage, HP USB 24/7, xbox360, e-cable to imac downstairs along with windows notebook.
    Moving all these N + (B/G) extreme N routers towards the outside walls of the house helped also.
    Message was edited by: Smokerz

    Interference was a big issue with all those routers set to N + (B/G) at 2.4 ghz.
    TC is set to N at 5 ghz.

  • BlackBerry z10 battery poor performanc​e

    Hey i have a question with regards to how am I supposed to improve my battery on the z10. I bought this phone last year at full price from my carrier. Since then the battery performance has been very poor... even after the number of updates and reducing which apps are running, it still won't last more than 5 hours when using the phone. in fact I would say it drains very quickly. I see the % sign on the battery and it moves from 100% to 87% very quickly like within an hour when i am using my phone. I have done a lot of research over the past year and read forums on how to improve it and have had no results. Can anyone provide me any advice? Perhaps someone from blackberry themselves? I am really disappointed because I could have spent that money on a different phone which has a battery that actually lasts the day. Thank you and I will await for some feedback.
