Increase you Graphics Performance by increasing Monitor Refresh!!...

I found this thread very informative and thought of sharing it with my fellow nForcers
Read Here
Markoul

or just enable tripple buffer and be done with it...
moreover, most drivers come with a Vsync OFF nowaday, so...
And it is always a good idea to use your monitor at it's max refresh setting, as it will be more confortable anyway (as long as your VGA can follow).

Mac mini VPN headless, slow graphics performance when no monitor plugged in

I am using a Mac mini, headless, with no monitor, keyboard or mouse, via VPN from a Windows machine over a LAN. Everything works fine and setting everything up was a breeze. However, something very odd I noticed was that if my Mac mini does not have a monitor plugged in to its video output, the rendering of the graphics over the VPN is very slow. It is most noticable when hovering over the dock and activating the animations etc, though it is noticable all the time. It's so bad that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to watch a video clip or simple animation. It's as though frames are being dropped. Now, this can be immediately fixed if a monitor is plugged into the Mac mini and turned on, and the VPN to the Mac mini from my Windows machine works flawlessly and the graphics are rendered perfectly, with little to no delay or frame skipping.
I have a hunch that the Mac could be disabling some kind of graphics acceleration when the monitor is not plugged in, but I am not a Mac expert by far, this is my first Mac experience. It was purchased solely for the VPN and headless use, so if I can't get it working properly, it's a waste.
Note, I have tried several VPN client/viewer combinations and they do not change the situation.
Thanks in advance.

Also, when I try to use the remote with the Mac mini (pressing the menu button), over VPN with no monitor attached to the machine, I simply get a white blank screen until I press the menu button again.

I must have been HALF ASLEEP when I wrote this.
I do not mean VPN, I mean VNC!!. Sorry for the confusion.

Graphics performance - external monitor

Hello everybody.
I've run into a problem..
When I add an external monitor to my rMBP 15", the graphics performance is reduced by quite a bit. Example: when I play League of Legends on my built in monitor, it runs smoothly at 60fps with almost the highest graphic settings. But when I play it on the external monitor, with the lid closed, it's going at 30fps with the lowest graphic settings.
Here's the twist..
I bootcamped it, just to test if there'd be any difference. And surely, there was. Suddenly I could play with the highest graphic settings at 60fps on my external monitor.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro Retina 15", mid 2012.
Asus VE278Q
The monitor is connected with a HDMI cable.

I have the same hardware, a rMBP with the quad 2.6, 16 gigs of ram and the NVidia 650. I don't have the problems you are describing but I play different games - mostly borderlands, so perhaps that makes a difference.
The first thing I would suggest is to use something other than an HDMI cable. I can't remember the details but I recall reading that the throughput of the HDMI is limited, especially compared to thunderbolt, so I would try switching first. Of course you are roughly quadripling the pixels you are pushing when you go from 1440x900 (native retina) to 2880x1800 .... so that could be it, and I would also try to scale the external monitor 1440x900 ... and see what happens.
Lastly, most games run a lot faster under windows than OSX. Sad but true. I sometimes run the same game on my server ( a proliant with a Xeon quad @ 3.3 ghz with either a decidedly low end GT630 video card. It smokes the retina MBP, badly for whichever game I have ever tried. They look better, they run much faster. That said, I still like to game on the Mac and only use the Server when I need a third machine when my daughter comes to kick my butt. I personally will take the ease and elegance over the speed, since the rMBP is fast enough.

Is there a way to increase the refresh rate of the Worklist portlet?=10GR3

BPM 6.x used to refresh the worklist a lot faster. Is there a setting (in Studio and in Server) for 10GR3 that can increase the refresh rate... Did not find it in workspace.properties file... Anywhere else to look for it?

Chanege the size of the frame

Get the best graphical performance

I've been developing an application where the graphical appearance is very important, so every panel has a 1280x1024 size with a 32-bit color depth picture control as large as the panel itself used as background; moreover there are a lot of other picture controls.
In this situation, loading and displaying panels is very slow, so I need to know form some CVI developers how I can improve these operations:
is the performance of LoadPanel() affected by the size of the whole uir file, or by the size of the panel to be loaded? Is it a good idea having more than a panel in a single uir, if the uir size is more or less 100MB? I think there should be no difference...
while updating tables, the performance increases if they're set as invisible before updating, and set as visible at the end. When a panel has been loaded, but not displayed yet, is the graphical performance affected by hiding or showing controls? I don't think so, because I think that if a panel is not displayed, all its controls are invisible, but I'm not sure...
Thanks

After having reduced the images as possible, there are 2 or 3 uir files with a size of 20MB. All the uir files are then embedded into the executable files (that is more than 100MB large).
I've already considered other design schemes for loading images, but this one is the best for my application: the problem is that the graphical performance of CVI are quite bad (as already discussed in the past)
I've been trying to get the highest performance from CVI, but the improvements are not so easy.
I don't have any particular issue with tables: it was only an example where a quite simple workaround dramatically increases the graphical performance.
You could update all the values, then refresh the display rather than refreshing the display after each data update
How can I suspend the display refreshing in CVI? I know LabVIEW has a panel property, but I haven't found any CVI function to do the same. I call ProcessDrawEvents() to force the refresh, but how can I suspend it?

[SOLVED] Graphics performance on AOA 150 netbook and composition

Hello everyone.
First of all, I'm unsure is this post a bug report, a call for a help or a "how to". :-)
I'm using Arch on this netbook for 2 years now and I have to admit, that there is constant graphical performance slowdown with each version of xorg and xf86-video-intel increment (graphical controller is Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)). When I just had installed Arch, I'd had about 600 fps with glxgears (yes, I know, that glxgears is not a benchmark, but it's affected by all the same lags as overall graphical subsystem). As of few upgrades, fps became ~300. Then, when vsync was made necessary by Intel, I'd had ~60 fps. Now performance of graphical subsystem is extremely low -- ~25-30 fps. This slowdown affects both 3D and 2D, the gears in glxgears are rotating with pauses. The most interesting thing is the mouse activity influence. When I move the mouse during the test, fps increases. If I'll move mouse constantly during the test, I'll get ~60 fps.
For this two years I'd used different window managers and desktop environments in different combinations, but result was the same: desktop composition had always decreased fps rate. But with cairo-compmgr I'd got very strange result. If it's active, fps is constantly ~60 and gears are moving smoothly, no matters how I move the mouse. As for me, the main question is why is this happens and how this result can be achieved without any composition (cairo-compmgr is quiet buggy for now).
As of practical usage, now I use gnome3 in legacy mode (because of lags under mutter) with cairo-compmgr running, all it's visual effects are turned off. Fps is ~60.

Performance issue entering monitor etc

Dear Sirs,
Our system currently feels quite slow. When entering the monitor for a load, or managing a cube the system it takes a while.
In SM50 I can see it reads at table (sequential) på RSMONIPTAB (which contains 1 millions records).
SAP help.sap.com describes a process u201CArchivation of Request Administration Datau201D, which might help? Look below. However, I do not like the paragraph marked in bold. What kind of features do they reference to.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/ead8d7b55e1bd2e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Archiving request administration data allows you to store the administration and log information for a request in an archive. In BI, tables store the totals records that the system requires so that the request is not set to red because information is missing. This function allows you to limit the size of the administration and log tables, RSDONE und RSMON. This improves performance for actions performed for the request and in the affected InfoProviders and saves memory space in the database without affecting the status set by the system.
For certain functions and processes that access requests, you have to reload request administration data to the BI administration and log tables.
Any hints on the issue in general; performance issue with monitor, please let me know.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Guess note below describes gives more info about situation. However, not with a clear solution :=)
SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
Summary
Symptom
Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
with each request that is created.
Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
the following consequences:
When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
all affected data targets that contain the request.
The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
old data.
Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
More Terms
RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
Cause and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
requests.
After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.

Improving graphics performance in DIAdem 11.0 Report?

Dear Forum,
when working on a Report layout, the poor graphic performance of DIAdem is a real problem for me.
For example, many diagrams with lots of data are on one page. One opens the proficiencies of one of the diagrams and changes e.g. the curves color or whatever and closes the dialog window. After this, the whole Report page is refreshed - wich takes up to one minute, depending on the amount of data displayed.
The strange thing is, when I close the given dialog window, and while the report page is being refreshed sent DIAdem to the taskbar and open any other application window, the process of refreshing the screen takes only 1 second instead of 30 seconds.
The question is: Is there a tweak to improve the speed how DIAdem refreshes the report page? Or is there any workaround other than switching applications during refreshing?
Thanks a lot.
Greetings from Germany
Oliver

Hello Oliver,
The easiest way to speed up the graphics performance in Report with large data files (or 3D graphs with lots of nodes) is to turn off the "Data Layer" (German: "Datenebene") in the "View" menu (German: "Ansicht").
That function basically turns off the display of all data in Report, but retains the axis systems, texts, etc., so you can still move them, place them and edit them without having to guess sizes. Once you're done with the report, simply turn the data layer back on and you're ready to create a PDF, print or save the result as an image file (JPG, BMB, etc.).
I think the performance difference you described (1 vs. 30 seconds) is due to the fact that once DIAdem has drawn a page, it retains an image in memory and will simply draw that image when you bring DIAdem to the foreground (or maximize it). After any edits you make to the report (e.g. change the color of a graph), DIAdem redraws the complete page from scratch, which takes much longer then just re-displaying an image that has already been drawn previously. Someone from the DIAdem R&D team could probably do a better job explaining this, but I think this is the explanation for the time difference in drawing.
Anyway, the "Data Layer" trick should hopefully solve your problem, let us know if that works for you.

GPU/CPU Temps and Graphics Performance Questions

I am also experiencing some similar oddities with my 15in UMBP. As background on my setup I am running 10.5.7 (the problem began before the update) and I work in an air-conditioned office with a cooling pad for my frequently "toasty" MBP. I have noticed that my temps are significantly higher while running on the NVIDIA 9600M GT vs. the 9400M, and also I use iStat to monitor my system.
Here's the problems. With only Mail, iChat, Safari 4, and iTunes running (87-93% idle) I frequently see temps hit 150-155 F for the GPU 145-150 F for the CPU. While running on the 9400 with the same applications (87-92% idle) I see temps from 90-95 F for both GPU and CPU. When I had first gotten my MBP I used it mostly with Aperture 2 and I thought it was strange that I couldn't tell the difference in performance between the 9600 and the 9400. Later I tried to use it from time to time in Win XP (bootcamp) for gaming, but it would get so hot that i could hardly touch the keyboard and the graphics performance wasn't nearly what i thought it should be. In fact I was only able to run games slightly better than on my company provided Dell Inspiron D620 (old POS). On the Mac side I tried to test out the performance of my GPU by setting the graphics in X-plane just to the point that with the 9600M GT enabled the program wouldn't tell me that I had too many graphics options turned on. After getting that dialed in I switched over to try it with the 9400 and the performance was nearly identical, and maybe even a little better... I'm not a genius when it comes to computers by any means. I don't know very much about what kind of performance I should be seeing from these two cards, but I would think that the 9600 would greatly out perform the 9400.
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated

I used istat pro to get the temperatures and fan speeds. You can download it free here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
I turned it on a few hours ago and the temperature of one of the cores reached 70 degrees C and the fan speeds all went up to around 3000 rpm. I'm just going to leave it off for now and take it in to get serviced. Only problem is I have to make an appointment and who knows how long it will take to get it in. Hope it works out for you.

Graphics Card and Two Monitors - Split VRAM

When you use two monitors with one graphics card, it splits the VRAM and affects graphics performance, correct?
1) Is there a way to temporarily disable the second monitor to free up VRAM?
2) What happens to icons on the desktop of the second monitor if I disconnect it (after shutting down)?

T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

Hi everybody,
I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
Anybody experience on this?
Kind regards,
Daniel

IMac 27 mid 2010 graphics performance issue

Hi all
my iMac has a strange problem and I need to understand how to fix it.
First of all, this my configuration:
iMac 27'' - 2.8 ghz - 12 Gb RAM - ATI 5750 1GB GDDR5, Mountain Lion 10.8.2
The problem is simple. After a while, the graphic performance slows down quickly with fluctuant speed (fast then slow, then fast...). I've noticed that in 3D games, in Photoshop and in other applications that uses GPU or intense graphics operations (also Finder animation like window animations)...
I can't understand if it's a hardware failure (but note that Apple made me an AHT just a couple of days ago, during the 1 Tb Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program and nothing was found) or a Software problem... But OSX is a fresh install, for example...
Is there a way to check GPU deeply?
Please help me, i'm really hopeless

It certainly sounds possible that your video card is failing. You might want to reboot from your Original Installation Disk and run the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) or the Extended Apple Hardware Test to check for hardware failiure.. Other than that, time for a trip to the Apple Store for a check up.
Hope this helps

Performance analysis and monitoring of a Forteapplication

Hello,
It would be good if one could do some performance analysis and monitoring of
a Forte application at production time.
By performance analysis I mean measure the time some selected methods take
to return. In a CS application such a method would be some selected method
of a key remote service representative of the application's activity.
One would like to mesure the min, max, average time, and also give a
threshhold which when reached will automatically generate an alarm or some
pre-defined processing.
The most powerful way would be to use a SNMP application through a Forte -
SNMP gateway. (see the G. Puterbaugh paper "Building a Forte-SNMP gateway"
in the 96' Forte Forum proceedings).
But before going that far some simple means accessible through EConsole
would already be great.
A collegue of mine when to that Forum and reported that Puterbaugh said that
such an agent is currently missing, but that its implementation is not
difficult.
I looked at all the agents and their instruments. I came to the following
conclusions :
1) instrumented data are available at the granularity level of a partition,
not at a smaller granularity. For example, the DistObjectMgr agent gives you
very useful information : the number of events (sent/received) and the
number of (remote) methods (called/invoked), but this for the entire
partition. Thus it prevents making tuned observations (unless you partition
in a special way your application to put in a dedicated partition the thing
you want to observe and only this thing).
2) there is no instrumented data related to processing time.
This leads me to the point that no information observed by the standard
agents help me figuring out my performances. Thus I have to add at
development time some lines of code to the methods I potentially want to
observe later at production time to generate the appropriate information a
custom agent will then display (process) with the appropriate instruments.
Does someone share this position ?
Has someone implemented such an agent and assotiated means ?
PS: I will probably implement my own one if no other way around.
