Slow processor performance with my s10 and 3d studio Max

Hello all,
I have an s10 6 megs of ram  a Quadro FX 370 video card and a Quad core CPU Q6600 @2.4Ghz,
I run Vista home premium 64 bit, this is my home workstation. I am an animator and I use 3ds Max, my system at work is a Dell Optiplex 550 with a core 2 duo E6550 @ 2.33Ghz with 4 megs of ram and a Radeon X700 pro video card.
When I am working on my home system with 3dsMax it really struggles; it's sluggish it takes at least a minute to refresh after doing a small 512 x 512 render , my render times are if anything slower or the same
even though I've got a quad core at home and more memory. I've repeatedly scanned for viruses, malware etc.. The system comes up clean eveytime, I've uploaded the latest drivers for videocard - still no go.
My questions are these; With a quad core CPU and more memory shouldn't this system be faster than the one at work? If I want to upgrade my processor where can I take it ? Has any body else had this problem with 3ds Max 2009 64 bit and the s10. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!

  • Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
    Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
    Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
    Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

  • 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

    Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
    What are you using to check graphics performance?

  • Processor Performance with Battery

    Hi All,
    When using the battery, is your processor speed / performance capped at all?
    I was playing with iDVD the other day on battery and when the app was rendering the menus in real-time I noticed a significant stuttering... I havent tried with main power yet, but would of thought my spec machine could handle it...
    Any thoughts?

    When using the battery, is your processor speed / performance capped at all?
    Check in System Preferences -> Energy Saver. Next to "Settings for" choose "Battery" in the drop-down menu. Then click on the Options tab. Towards the bottom there should be a Processor Performance setting, which by default is (at least for other notebooks) set to "Reduced."
    Changing that to "Highest" is a good option if you're doing work that requires the best possible processor performance.
    And there are other options in the Energy Saver preferences that you might want to take a look at while you're there. Just keep in mind that anything you change in the Battery sections will also affect battery life.
    You can also choose some basic Energy Saver settings from a menu when you click on the battery icon in your menubar.
    Note that I'm still using a PowerBook and can't check this on a MacBook Pro... yet. (Tomorrow I'll be able to.  ;-))

  • Very slow transfer speeds with Airport Extreme and MacBook

    I have been using a new Airport Extreme without problem at my home for the past six weeks. The speed and range was excellent with both my MacBook Pro and the MacBook which I purchased a few weeks ago. I came out to Greece with both laptops and a new AP Extreme box for my home network here. After set up I noticed that internet access was lethargic on the MacBook and file transfer between the two computers was extremely slow. The problem seems to be with the new MacBook (although it was working well in London). I've done some speed tests and the internet download speed is only 48 kpbs! I also notice that the range is very poor--in the room next to the router I am down to five bars. If I connect to the AP Extreme with cable I get the full 1Mbps I would normally expect here in Athens (ADSL nominal 2Mbps). The MacBook Pro has no problems with wireless access speeds or range, so I am assuming this has to be a problem with the AP extreme card in the MacBook. Is there anything I have overlooked? Perhaps something to do with setting up the new AP Extreme here in Athens?

    By process of elimination I realised that the only cause of the sudden slowness must be software that I had installed recently. The only software I had added was a wifi utility to detect available networks--open or protected. Unlikely as it sounds, quitting the utility (which I had set to load on startup) made a dramatic improvement in performance.

  • Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

    I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD.  I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly.  I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance.  I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads.  I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model.  I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive.  (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs).  Thanks very much!

    Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
    After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
    Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
    As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

  • Very Slow SMB Performance with DroboShare

    Hi there,
    We have a big issue with a DroboShare NAS device connected to a Drobo Drive (FAT32):
    If we connect to our DroboShare NAS directly via LAN, the performance with SMB is terrible. Browsing folders takes minutes until the contents (15 items) are shown, opening and saving files takes minutes.
    If we connect the Drobo via USB to one of our Macs and then share it via SMB, it is fast as ****.
    Problem is that we cannot leave it this way, as we only have portable macs, so if they are removed, nobody can access the Drobo.
    The problem nevertheless seems to be restricted to Macs: If we connect to the DroboShare with Linux or Windows Boxes, everything is as fast as expected.
    Does anyone has similar issues with weak performance and/or knows how this can improved?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    I just ported netatalk (AFP) over to the DroboShare.

  • Slow wifi speeds with airport extreme and win 7

    i have an airport extreme router that i love. i recently noticed that my wifi was running slow. after performing a speed check i confirmed that my speeds were about 3-6mb/sec. this was done on my win 7 pro machine. while seated in front of my pc, i ran the same check using my iphone and i get 50mb/sec. this continues to be the case now for like a week. does anyone know if a recent windows update has done something. router has been restored to factory settings to no avail. when i first set up the router a few months ago, both machines were getting 50mb/sec downloads. not sure what has happened. any help would be appreciated.thanks

  • Help with Elements 12 and Print Studio

    i have Elements 12 and cant get print studio supplied with my canon pixma pro 100 to install
    can any one help ??

    You messaged me (but please reply to the forum as it will help others with the same problem):
    "print studio just keeps saying its not compatible with elements 12 or vice versa??".
    Go to Canon's web site and download the latest verson and see if that works. It installed for me OK (not that it worked, as I don't have a compatible printer).

  • Newbie: 6020E (USB) slow performance with mixed digital and analog input

    Hi,
    I'm using a 6020E to do analog and digital input, and I'm getting very bad performance.
    Please note that doing IO in Labview is new to me!
    I have read the post about 6020E slow performance, and it says I should do buffered IO.
    Can anybody point me to some DOC or SAMPLE that actually shows or explains how one should do this. I need to read several digital IO lines (which I can combine in one port-read), and several analog inputs.
    Seeing how slow the reading on the 6020E is, I am amazed there is only one post that deals with this issue.
    I would be satisfied to get the 6020E into some sort of continuous read mode so that whenever I need data, I get the latest reading right away.
    thanks,
    Peter D'Hoye

    Hi Peter,
    Your cannot do buffered digital I/O with your daqpad. It doesn't have that capability. You can only make direct software calls with digital read/write from/to your port. So your digital IO is completely software clocked and not hardware clocked. The example you are trying is only for specific Simultanuous sampling boards or now also for M-series boards that are able to do correlated DIO.
    Use the Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi example for your analog measurements. (NI Example Finder) For your digital IO you can only use the examples like Read Dig Chan.vi, Read Dig Port,...
    There are indeed some slow performance issues with single point I/O Operations, that is correct.
    Check the explaination below:
    DAQPads are offered for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire). Both of these standards use a high-speed serial communication protocol between the computer and the device with a bandwidth up to 12 MB/s for USB and 400 MB/s for FireWire.
    During a single point operation, the DAQ device requires a complete set of configuration commands. This is done through serial communication (USB or FireWire), making the process slower than in a PCI-based board. The speed obtained for single point operation in a DAQPad is system dependent; this means that your computer processor, memory, bus speed, and other factors alter the speed at which you can do single-point operations with a DAQPad.
    For example, on the DAQPad-6020E, timed non-buffered analog input operations are limited to about 50 Hz. At higher rates, the software may become unresponsive. On a FireWire device, you can expect stable operation around 3,000 Hz. But again, these figures are system dependent.
    Regards.

  • Intel GM45 (x4500M) terrible 3d performance with intel driver and mesa

    I have following problem with my Lenovo SL500 laptop.

    Apparently yes,
    According to the thread:
    To restore to the old behaviour, put this in your ~/.drirc:
    <driconf>
      <device screen="0" driver="i915">
        <application name="Default">
          <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
        </application>
      </device>
    </driconf>
    But I don't come back to the same perfs as before (tested with eternal lands).
    I noticed that in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
    (WW) intel(0): Register 0x61200 (PP_STATUS) changed from 0xc0000008 to 0xd0000009

    (WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT before: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE VSYNC_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS
    (WW) intel(0): PIPEBSTAT after: status: VBLANK_INT_ENABLE
    There seem to be some problem with mtrr
    I found this problem which seems related but I only have 2GB of memory

  • SLOW report performance with bind variable

    Environment: 11.1.0.7.2, Apex 4.01.
    I've got a simplified report page where the report runs slowly compared to running the same query in sqldeveloper. The report region is based on a pl/sql function returning a query. If I use a bind variable in the query inside apex it takes 13 seconds to run, and if I hard code a string it takes only a few hundredths of a second. The query returns one row from a table which has 1.6 million rows. Statistics are up-to-date and the columns in the joins and where clause are indexed.
    I've run traces using p_trace=YES from Apex for both the bind variable and hard coded strings. They are below.
    The sqldeveloper explain plan is identical to the bind variable plan from the trace, yet the query runs in 0.0x seconds in sqldeveloper.
    What is it about bind variable syntax in Apex that is causing the bad execution plan? Apex Bug? 11g bug? Ideas?
    tkprof output from Apex trace with bind variable is below...

    Patrick, interesting insight. Thank you.
    The optimizer must be peeking at my bind variables with it's eyes closed. I'm the only one testing and I've never passed %anything as a bind value. :)
    Here's what I've learned since my last post:
    I don't think that sqldeveloper is actually using the explain plan it says it is. When I run explain plan in sqldeveloper (with a bind variable) it shows me the exact same plan as Apex with a bind variable. However, when I run autotrace in sqldeveloper, it takes a path that matches the hard coded values, and returns results in half a second. That autotrace run is consistent with actually running the query outside of autotrace. So, I think either sqldeveloper isn't really using bind variables, OR it is using them in some other way that Apex does not, or maybe optimizer peeking works in sqldeveloper?
    Using optimizer hints to tweak the plan helps. I've tried both /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ and /*+ index(ps pk_persons) */ and both drop the query to about a second. However, I'm loath to use hints because of the very dynamic nature of the query (and Tom Kyte doesn't like them either). The hints may end up hurting other variations on the query.
    I also tested the query by wrapping it in a select count(1) from ([long query]) and testing the performance in sqldeveloper and in Apex. The performance in that case is identical with both bind variables and hard coded variables for both Apex and SqlDeveloper. That to me was very interesting and I went so far as to set up two bind variable report regions on the same page. One region wrapped the long query with select count(1) from (...) and the other didn't. The wrapped query ran in 0.01 seconds, the unwrapped took 15ish seconds with no other optimizations. Very strange.
    To get performance up to acceptable levels I have changed my function returning query to:
    1) Set the equality operator to "=" for values without wildcards and "like" for user input with wildcards. This makes a HUGE difference IF no wildcard is used.
    2) Insert a /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint when users chose the column that requires the sub-query. This obviously changes the optimizer's plan and improves query speed from 15 seconds to 1.5 seconds even with wildcards.
    I will NOT be hard coding any user supplied values in the query string. As you can probably tell by the query, this is an application where sql injection would be very bad.
    Jeff, regarding your question about "like '%' || :P71_SEARCH_SOURCE1 || '%'". I've found that putting wildcards around values, particularly at the beginning will negate any indexing on the column in question and slows performance even more.
    I'm still left wondering if there isn't something in Apex that is breaking the optimizer "peeking" that Patrick describes. Perhaps something in the way it switches contexts from apex_public_user to the workspace schema?

  • KT880 Slow 2D Performance with Leadtek 6600GT AGP

    Issues:
    2D speed is so slow I can see the background color of most websites as the content is "drawn" line by line over top.
    Mouse scrolling causes the screen to fragment slightly
    The odd time on a cold boot (system off over 10-20 minutes minimum) I get a beep code of 2 long, and 5 to 7 short. I say five to seven as every time it happens it catches me just as I am walking out of the room.
    Fixes Attempted:
    Multiple clean installation of W2K using various combination of Leadtek/VIA Hyperion/Nvidia drivers
    Different BIOS options selected (Fastwrite on/off, AGP aperature 64/128/256, FSB 1:1)
    Tests Performed:
    Memtest 95+ ran it all day while I was at work
    3DMark2005 run multiple times
    Vulcan3D run all day while at work
    PCPitstop 2D test reports ~42MP/s (compare this to onboard SiS video at work which is 121.85 MP/s)
    I have read the information about PSU issues up top, and I am leaning towards trying this next.
    My current rig is:
    MSI KT880 Delta-FSR (VIA 5.04 Hyperion installed)
    Leadtek 6600GT 128MB (78.05 forceware beta installed w/DirectX 9.0C)
    AthlonXP 2800+
    1GB Micron RAM (PC2100)
    30GB IBM (DTLA 307030) + 120GB WD (WD1200JB)
    NEC DVD-RW (ND-2510A)
    Soundblaster Live! 5.1 (Most recent drivers)
    Onboard Gigabyte LAN (Most recent drivers downloaded from Microsoft Website)
    Windows 2000 (Clean installed with SP4 and all critical updates)
    Power supply: Vantec ION 400B (400W / +3.3V 26A / +5V 30A / +12V 16A)
    Now I have seen that 18A should be minimum on the 12V rail, but I have some questions about that. What about a dual rail powersupply like the Enermax EG475P? It has +16A on 12V1 and +15 on 12V2 - would that be enough power?
    The other power supply I am looking at is the Vantec ION2 460N which has specs of: 460W / +3.3V 28A / +5V 30A / +12V 30A
    Unfortunately due to cost, and local availability these really are my only two options that look like they might fit the bill.
    I am really crossing my fingers that a PSU upgrade will solve my 2D issues as I could not get this card to work properly in 3D in an older system. Now it works awesome in 3D, but 2D is so slow I can watch the screen "wipe" in Internet Explorer.

    "...I am just wondering could that account for the 2D speed being so slow?..." Question answered in my last post: First..memory. 2nd PSU.
    I apologize about seeming like I was ignoring you - I posted at the same time as you, and did not mean to ignore your recommendations. In any case I tried something that fixed it...  and also ends up I may not have had to buy a PSU. Although it will not hurt in resurrecting my old system for a backup computer. In the BIOS for my system there is an option "Vlink 8X Supported". I set this to disabled on a whim because I recall that was what the default was in my BIOS (only changed it because the manual showed it as enabled), and now my system is running 8X faster than it was in 2D. I still plan to upgrade the memory, but from what I can see I will have to do it fast as only one vendor around here is still carrying it when they all had it last week.
    I intend to install the new PSU this weekend as I know that earlier this week I did find that as a recommendation for the beep codes I get on startup. I could swear it was on this board that I found that information, but cannot seem to find it using Google at all anymore.

  • Extremely Slow Network Performance with 10.5.8

    Let me start off by saying I don't use my mac mini much at all but when I do, the network is incredibly slow and unbearable. Half of the pages don't load, ipsw files for the iPhone take 20-30 minutes (with 15mbps interwebs)
    My network setup:
    1. Modem (provided by ISP)
    2. 2 TB Time Capsule WPA2 security default settings.
    3. Airport Connection
    Now I would be for using 'openDNS' for a resolution but it didn't really improve the issue. Sure it sped up the internet on that machine, but I'm not willing to use a third party DNS when my MacbookPro connecting to the same exact network, doesn't experience this.
    I have removed the hosts file for airport, remove the network connection, reset SMC, to no avail.
    If anybody has any insight as to why my mac mini is the only device with poor performance, that would be greatly appreciated.

    I shouldn't have to use another user.
    Okay. It should also work with your current user but it's not.
    For testing purposes and to narrow down the problem, try another user and see if it works.

  • Slow download performance with windows 7 on Cisco 2960S

    has someone experience with the the windows 7 on Cisco 2960S.
    One customer had the issue with very slow download rate ( 500kByte) with 100MB / full duplex and  default tcp paramenter under win 7 with IOS 12.2.55SE1.
    No error was seen.
    The change of follwing in windows improve the performance a litte bit to 1-2 MByte.
    no compression, no tcp windowing, no received side scaling, no windows side heuristic, no checksum offloading and a smaller MTU size than default.
    After update the Switch to 12.2.55.SE2 the performance imporve to 4-12 MByte.
    Has someone an idea about the chances in IOS 12.2.55SE2. I cant find anything in RN about this issue.
    Best regards
    Steffen

    I have the same issues in WS-C2960G-48TC-L  . my downloads dropped in my lan from 2 mb/s to 100kb/s in all operating systems including linux workstations . my ios version is 12.2(44)SE5 in 2960 switches .
    i have 2 x 4503-E L3 and 14 2960-48TC-L switches but i can not access the new ios versions to test if the issue is coming from ios version because of end of support .
    can someone ensure that the new ios remove this issue ?
