Upgrading for better gaming performance.

Hey everyone,
I recently received this latop for Christmas. I really enjoy all around gaming from PC to Console. The problem that I am having is mostly on WoW. I ran the system via systemrequirementslab.com (the can you run this section) and it told me that I had the minimum requirements capable of running. For a few days it worked phenomenally but most recently the game slows to a crawl to the point that it takes 15+ minutes before I get two minutes of movement. Is there anything I can do to upgrade my laptop and run videogames better?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Not much you can do in terms of price/performance with the following specs:

Better gaming performance upgrading from 2gig to 4gig?

Hi all,
Just wondering what you think about upgrading from 2gig to 4gig to increase gaming performance? I've a MBP 2.2ghz 128mb VRAM with 2gig of RAM and thinking about upgrading to 4gig. Will I see a decent increase in frame rates for games from my current system? Or is the 128mb VRAM going to be the only factor?
Cheers:)

I dont think it would hurt. Nothing but good things could come from having more memory. 4gb is a bit overkill though for most programs and games available at the moment.
I do think that your videocard would bottleneck any potential gains you would see from more memory. But I think the extra memory can help alittle... not really that much better, but alittle better.

Upgrade for better rendering

Alright, I read everything I could and couldn't find anything specifically helping me figure out my situation. I recently got started using the Adobe suite and love it. I'm mostly using Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, Audition and After Effects for my projects right now. Most everything runs pretty well, except that After Effects is taking forever to render when using the ray-tracer. I figured it would take quite some time, but a 30-second project took 14 hours to render this week. Is that normal? It's also majorly impeding my editing ability because previewing is super slow. Premiere takes a while to encode as well, but nowhere near the time AE is taking.
Here's my question, given the below setup, what upgrades can I make to use these programs more efficiently, if any? Should I look at nVidia GPUs and install multiple cards on this motherboard or will my system even be able to take advantage of multiple GPUs in Adobe products with this setup? Do I simply have my AE settings configured wrong (quite likely)?
MB - Asus M5A97 R2.0
CPU - AMD FX8350
GPU - AMD Radeon R9 270x
16GB DDR3 Memory
Windows 8.1
Thanks for any advice you can give!

Hi Joey,
Most everything runs pretty well, except that After Effects is taking forever to render when using the ray-tracer.
This is a common issue. It is not recommended to use ray-traced 3D compositions any longer, especially if you do not have a qualified NVIDIA GPU (which you do not have).
Don't worry, though. Instead, look into using Cinema 4D Lite for your 3D needs, which is available from After Effects. Choose Layer > New > Maxon Cinema 4D file. If you do so, does Cinema 4D Lite launch? It should. Try it out.

Bigger, better, or more GPUs will not affect After Effects performance very much. After Effects is more dependent on CPU power and large amounts of RAM.
Do I simply have my AE settings configured wrong (quite likely)?
Just avoid ray-traced 3D compositions and you should be fine. You may want to familiarize yourself with After Effects, as well. Here's a great place to start: Getting started with After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC) | After Effects region of interest

Configuring HP Stream Tablets for increased gaming performance

A lot of Windows games (most in fact) can be downloaded and installed with their installers from their respective websites or Steam, etc. Other games can be obtained in the Windows Store (green and white icon that looks like a shopping bag). Many Windows Phone apps/games have Windows availability also, and visa versa, nowadays.
In a lot of games you may have to lower the graphics options to make the game run faster and perform better - but that doesn't mean they won't still be fun to play. It really just depends on the game and how good you can make it look without sacrificing performance. You can test settings and then adjust as needed to get the ideal configuration for each game on your tablet. Some games may not run at all if the RAM (memory) requirements aren't met, as 1 GB is pretty low anymore.
That being true, many games will run pretty well with only 1 GB RAM. Be sure to close all other background programs you can to free up CPU/memory and disk I/O performance. You can also open Task Manager (shortcut is ALT CTRL DELETE) or right click on the taskbar to access it - and go into the Details tab and right click on the running game or application you want, and choose "Set Priority" and set it to "Above Normal" this will devote more CPU cycles/resources to that game or app, thus making it perform better and run a little faster. This isn't going to fix all performance issues but it may help a little bit.
Another thing to increase performance is close anything you don't need from the taskbar tray (by default in the lower right corner of the screen). If it is possible for you to run a Steam game with Steam closed (by going to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Common\game name\ ) and clicking the game's .EXE file directly to run it without the Steam app running - it will further save CPU and memory and provide faster performance in the game.
It may help to update your graphics driver. The tablet uses an Intel graphics core. You can obtain the latest driver here or here. (Be patient because it might seem to freeze for a few seconds, give it a minute or so and it should progress forward and continue).
You can also disable unneeded things from running on login/startup to further increase performance. This is done via Task Manager on the Startup tab. Just right-click on the various items you want to disable from loading on startup and choose "disable" and they won't open on startup anymore. I already explained how to access Task Manager above.
Advanced Users Only: If you want to tune your system even more, you can run services.msc (or navigate to Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Services) and set certain things to manual or disabled (since those you actually need these can vary widely do not adjust these unless you know what you are doing or look up what each service does or what requires it to be running). For a good guide, check out Black Viper's guide for Windows 8.1 here and for Windows 10 here. Again, please be careful and only adjust these if you understand what you're doing.
I hope these tips help! They should aide you in getting the maximum performance in games on your tablet. Good luck!

I would recommend you to go for 2 WGA600N one for each...

Thread prioritization for better Player performance?

I have been developing an application to capture individual frames from a video clip on disk. I have implemented a Processor to load and play the video and inserted a custom Codec as a video track control to capture the frames. The code is fairly simple and hasn't changed since I have implemented it.
A noticable degradation in performance has shown up now that the rest of my application has increased in complexity. The video is choppy and often falls out of synch with the audio track. Is there a way for me to prioritize the JMF thread(s) in such a way to make it unaffected by the rest of my application's threads?
Thank you for reading this post.

I have increased the priority of the thread used in my Codec but have only noticed a marginal improvement in video playback. The audio track still skips at times. I have even decreased the priority of the other threads in my application but this seems to have little effect. I have the feeling I am not prioritizing the right thread(s)... How does one access the many threads used by the JMF in playing back a clip using a Processor object?

E62 Firmware upgrade for better peformance

Any idea wether we can make use of a swap file to increase memory available for applications in the E62?

The upgrade process is listed on the download page (click "show details"). Does this help, and if not what specific problem do you have?

Better Gaming Preformance

I have a question regarding a better gaming performance. I am planning to build a custom built gaming pc. However, I have not made up my mind regarding how I will have it connect to the internet. It will not be directly next to my modem so I will have to either send a very long wire to connect my computer directly to my wireless-n router which is connected to the modem. The other option would be to purchase a wireless adapter. (Side Note: Would this adapter have to be a n-version too?) Are there any other options and which of the two stated options would be better for online performance?
Thanks for any help
Eric

What is the model number of your N router?
What will be the distance between the router and the gaming PC?
For gaming application, you need good connection and good speed. If you want a wireless connection then it will be better to go with the wireless N adapter. The speed of the wireless N adapter will be more than the speed of wireless G adapter.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,
Kevin

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
1) to get better performance and.
2) for less network traffic
3) for better container resource utilization
I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
Please give detailed explanation.
thank you,
sudheer

Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
1) to get better performance
EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
2) for less network traffic
There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
3) for better container resource utilization
Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

What are the better load/performance testing tools available for Flex Application with BlazeDS RO?

In my application is designed with Flex3, ActionScript3, BlazeDS Remote Objects.
Just i tried with OPENSTA but i cant do the dynamic parameterization in their generated scripts because the response of the calls is binary values and also we cant get the response using with SCL language.
While testing with OPENSTA with HttpService, i can do the dynamic parameterization and got the response.
can give the information about the below questions
whether we can do dynamic parameterization with OPENSTA for Flex Remote objects?
and what are the better load/performance tools available for Flex Remote Objects?

Your approach is fine, depending on how many and what type of CFCs you are talking about. If they are "singletons" - that is, only one instance of each CFC is needed to be in memory and can be reused/shared from multiple parts of your application - caching them in the application scope is common. Just make sure they are thread safe ("var" or local.* all your method variables).
You might consider taking advantage of a dependency injection framework, such as DI/1 (part of the FW/1 MVC framework), ColdSpring, or WireBox (a module of the ColdBox platform that can be used independently). They have mechanisms for handling and caching singletons. Then you wouldn't have to go to the application scope to get your CFC instances.

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow. Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro?

Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow.
Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return new computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro? I'm mostly still happy with existing MacBookPro, but Aperture doesn't work, the computer can't handle it.
Other possibility is setting up virtual machine with Snow Leopard server software on new computer.
Any opinions on what would allow moving forward with the least hassle and best workflow continuity?

DO's & DONT's for a better application performance

I am very new to tuning. What are the sql & pl/sql do's and dont's and best sql & pl/sql practices for a better application performance?
I was told by somebody to check explain plan for tuning db & sql statements. But i am bit confused by seeing the explain and don't know from where i have start and what i have take into consideration from explain plan to improve application preformance?
Can somebody help me in this regard?

> I am very new to tuning.
Good. Not having to tune means that the code is performing as it should.
And this is THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION.
Do not write and design code that needs to be tuned and twisted and modded in order to perform. Write and design code with the core requirements of that code being:
- performance
- scalability
- flexibility
- maintainability
Good design = good code = good performance
No amount of tuning can turn bad code and a bad design into a well performing and scalable system. Which is why I dislike the concept of "tuning code". Start with a good and solid design. In other words, tune that before the code.
> What are the sql & pl/sql do's and dont's and best sql & pl/sql practices
for a better application performance?
The 1st basic rule is actually quite simple.
The "data layer" rule: Maximize SQL. Minimize PL/SQL.
Do not do in PL/SQL what SQL is very capable of doing. Fact. No other language is faster and better than SQL at crunching data in the Oracle RDBMS.
The 2nd basic rule is a logical extension of the 1st.
The "application layer" rule. Maximize PL/SQL. Minimize Java/C++/C#/Delphi/VB/etc.
Do not do in a 3rd party language what PL/SQL is extremely capable of doing. Fact. No 3rd party language is as capable as crunching data in the Oracle RDBMS as PL/SQL.
Stick to these two fundamental rules and your Oracle application will have a solid foundation for being a well performing and very scalable solution.

Scale out SSAS server for better performance

here how i scaled out my SSAS server for better performance
adil

Just trying to get a definitive answer to the question of can we use a Shared VHDX in a SOFS Cluster which will be used to store VHDX files?
We have a 2012 R2 RDS Solution and store the User Profile Disks (UPD) on a SOFS Cluster that uses "traditional" storage from a SAN. We are planning on creating a new SOFS Cluster and wondered if we can use a shared VHDX instead of CSV as the storage that
will then be used to store the UPDs (one VHDX file per user).
Cheers for now
Russell
Sure you can do it. See:
Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
Scenario 2: Hyper-V failover cluster using file-based storage in a separate Scale-Out File Server
This scenario uses Server Message Block (SMB) file-based storage as the location of the shared .vhdx files. You must deploy a Scale-Out File Server and create an SMB file share as the storage location. You also need a separate Hyper-V failover cluster.
The following table describes the physical host prerequisites.
Cluster Type
Requirements
Scale-Out File Server
At least two servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The servers must be members of the same Active Directory domain.
The servers must meet the requirements for failover clustering.
For more information, see Failover Clustering Hardware Requirements and Storage Options and Validate
Hardware for a Failover Cluster.
The servers must have access to block-level storage, which you can add as shared storage to the physical cluster. This storage can be iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS, or clustered storage spaces that use a set of shared SAS JBOD enclosures.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Can I performa an In Place upgrade for 11gR2

Hi all,
I goofed a bit, I downloaded and installed 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0) and installed it. After installation I went looking for the patchsets. Then I learned that as of 11.2.0.2 these are not patchsets, per se, but full installs. (I'll know now to log onto My Oracle Support first!)
I've read the various threads hear regarding upgrades for 11g and none are quite the same - trying not to recover existing discussions.
Because I'm installing this as a backbone for Windchill (a CAD file data vault), and I will allow the Windchill installer to create my database and so my installation was software only. The Upgrade Guide e23633 and other documents advise against in-place upgrades. This is a Single-Instance Oracle database with no database created yet, Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, x64.
In this forum and others as well as various blogs, have threads and articles on the relative difficulties people have had de-installing 11g.
Would you recommend I do an in-place Upgrade to get this to 11.2.0.3.0 or use the Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) and actually start from scratch installing 11.2.0.3.0?
(I'm still downloading the 7! zip archives for Patchset 3, so I have a moment before I have to make this decision!)
Thank you,
PT

Thank you for the reply Srini, but it really didn't answer my question.
I've already been through the Upgrade Guide, that's what lead me to post my question for advice and suggestions. My question is, was it really necessary to perform the Out-of-Place Upgrade - the preferred method - when I had only installed "software only" of 11.2.0.1.0 and had no database created to upgrade? Save the time by simply an In-Place because I was already software only.
I fully understand reasons for and have practiced the preferred out-of-place upgrade. The fault tolerant undisturbed source database is the only way to go - when there is an actual database.
Unless someone advises against it, I'm going to simply run the 11.2.0.1 De-Installation Utility first, rather than upgrade in place. Then install back in the same base path the 11.2.0.3 version was. Not that it matters if it is in the same base path or not, but I'll de-install ~0.1 anyway, why not do it first since I have no database to upgrade.
Cheers,
PT

Please help to modifiy this query for better performance

Please help to rewrite this query for better performance. This is taking long time to execute.
Table t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change contains 1200000 rows and table t_acctnumberTab countains 200000 rows.
I have created index on ACCOUNT_ID
Query is shown below
update rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
   set account_number =
       ( select distinct b.account_number
         from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab b
         where a.account_id = b.account_id
Table structure is shown below
SQL> DESC t_acctnumberTab;
Name           Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID     NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER VARCHAR2(24)
SQL> DESC t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change;
Name                    Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID              NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER          VARCHAR2(24) Y

Ishan's solution is good. I would avoid updating rows which already have the right value - it's a waste of time.
You should have a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint on t_acctnumberTab.account_id
merge rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
using
      ( select distinct account_number, account_id
from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab
      ) t
on    ( a.account_id = b.account_id
       and decode(a.account_number, b.account_number, 0, 1) = 1
when matched then
update set a.account_number = b.account_number
