Very low video performance

Hello everyone. I have an intel gma 950 video card and I think it's not performing as it should.
From what I've read here at the forums, this card should be getting ~1200 FPS in glxgears (a couple of owners of this same card reported that). Mine is getting about ~750. 
I really don't know how to tweak my xorg.conf anymore so please help me. Maybe the owners of said video card could let me see their xorg.conf ?
Here's mine:

Hmm, triple buffer doesn't seem to make a difference because enabling it was the last thing I tried, but no matter what I do, my FPS stays at ~750.....isn't that strange ? I know I've seen several posts here from Intel gma 950 owners that they get around ~1200 FPS.....
Although,
glxinfo | grep direct
does return
direct rendering: Yes
Thanks for the response anyway....
EDIT: Just tried disabling triple buffer and the composite extension, and glxgears still returns the same result! I just don't get it

  • Very low HD Performance

    Hi,
    Using arch a few days ago (Recent Instalation) I noticed that it was very slow, programs were taking quite some time to open, then I tested my HD performance with hdparm:
    Cached Read is 680MB/s in Arch.
    After this, I installed CentOS 5.0 and tested hdparm again:
    Cached Read is 1700MB/s in CentOS.
    Then I Tested hdparm in Ubuntu 7.04 and in Fedora 7 and:
    Cached Read is ~ 622MB/s in both.
    My problem is that I want Arch (Of course) with that HD performance found in CentOS.
    I want some directions from you guys, I have already searched and tested this for a few days, but can´t make it work.
    I can get needed data from bot, Centos or Arch.
    Thank you!!

    Could it be some new driver, or something that has changed recently, CentOS is RHEL based, it uses older programs/drivers/kernel.

  • Very low video framerate when sound activated

    Hi Guys,
    hope you can help me with a problem that already cost me 2 days.
    Basically I used the AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 classes as a draft for my own implementations (see below).
                    DataSource video_ds      = getVideoSource(new Dimension(640, 480), 30.0f);
              DataSource audio_ds      = getAudioSource();
                    // when I use only one datasource here everything is ok (normal audio or 30fps video)
              DataSource[] sources      = new DataSource[] {video_ds, audio_ds};
              try {
                   processor_ds = Manager.createMergingDataSource(sources);
              } catch (IncompatibleSourceException e) {
                   return "IncompatibleSourceException creating data sources";
              processor = javax.media.Manager.createProcessor(processor_ds);
                    .......The problem I have is when using both datasources, video and audio creating a merged datasource.
    Then the framerate drops down to 1-2 fps. I tested this on 2 different pc's here with 3 different cameras and with JMStudio it seems to be the same.
    When capturing audio and video and transmitting via RTP, the resulting frame is showing video with 1 fps (Monitor seems to be ok).
    When using AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 without any changes I've the same problem.
    Is this a known problem that a webcam stream with audio can't be transferred fluently?
    When needed, I can post the code of my two classes to be run standalone (It's quite big so I leave it out for the moment).
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Edit:
    This is the output of my capture program:

    I thought I would need two RTPManager instances for the two tracks, so one socket for audio and one for video.
    But, when I configure my receiver only for listening on port 5030 with one RTPManager instance, I get both, audio and video.
    So, what's the normal approach to implement a video/audio transmission via RTPManager?

    Hi captfoss,
    thanks for your reply.
    "Highest possible quality" and JMF shouldn't really ever be used in the same sentence. JMF is 10 year old streaming technology designed to run on machines and networks that were medocre 12 years ago.I know, I was just referring to the 640x480 resolution. This has to be enough for the moment and maybe next year we will see how to improve that.
    So, make your code work like the AVTransmit2 example works. They wrote the example the way they did for a reason.That's exactly how I have it implementing now.
    private String createTransmitter() {
             DataSource ds = dataOutput;
             PushBufferDataSource pbds = (PushBufferDataSource)dataOutput;
             PushBufferStream pbss[] = pbds.getStreams();
              SendStream sendStream;
              String portNumber;
              String media = "";
              int port = 0;
             try {
                  for (int i=0; i<pbss.length; ++i) {
                       SessionAddress address = null;
                       RTPManager mgr = RTPManager.newInstance();
                       if (pbss.getFormat() instanceof VideoFormat) {
                        port = localVideoPort;
                        media = "Video";
                        videoRtpManager = mgr;
                   else if (pbss[i].getFormat() instanceof AudioFormat) {
                        port = localAudioPort;
                        media = "Audio";
                        audioRtpManager = mgr;
                   address = new SessionAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), port);
                   mgr.initialize(address);                    
                   mgr.addTarget(address);
                        sendStream = mgr.createSendStream(ds, i);          
                        sendStream.start();
                        portNumber = (port == SessionAddress.ANY_PORT) ? "ANY_PORT" : Integer.toString(port);
                        log.info("RTP Manager for " + media + " capture created on port " + portNumber);
         } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
              return e.getMessage();
              return null;
    It's working very good and stable now. When I transmit H263_RTP video with DVI_RTP audio, it works great (apart from the resolution, just the FPS which are constantly > 25). The problem is when I change to JPEG_RTP (640x480) with DVI_RTP, then the framerate drops until 1 FPS. This just the encoding part of the processor, the capture format of the datasource is always RGB and it not touched when I change the encoding format.
    Also, I can transmit JPEG_RTP with 640x480 and 30 FPS but only when I disable the audio track in the processor.
    Any clue why this could happen?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Photoshop CC2014 very low printing performance.

    Hello.
    After upgrading from CS2 and CS3 to CC2014 Photoshop and Illustrator send each copie separate to the printer.
    Originally the .PSD has 63MB but it gets send to the printer 10 times instead off one and copying it 10 times like it used to work under CS2 and CS3
    I already tried to use the latest printing driver without success. It is a Canon IR ADV C5250i.

    Here is a great video explaining the issue:
    I would recommend a resolution at 300dpi, but that is often dependant on the image you are printing. I often set it at 300ppi for a photo quality.
    Here is the link if the video doesn't display: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/pixels-image-size-resolution-photoshop/
    I hope that helps, please post back with any questions

    Each PC consists of ASUS CUSL2-M (this mother board is listed in HCL) which has 3Com 3C920 onboard network controller.
    I tested the network thoughput between them by the netperf, I got only 2.7M bit per sec!
    I also tested following:
    Solaris8(3C920) - Solaris8(Intel Pro/100) 2.6Mbps
    Solaris8(3C920) - Linux(Dec tulip) 81.2Mbps
    What's wrong? Configuration problem? Device failure? Or driver problem?
    Anyone tell me the solution, please.
    Thanks, yuki.

  • Very Low performance Firewire

    Hi
    First.. sorry for Bad translating.
    i notes very low performance of my FW800/400 (i think after EFI/SMC Firmware Update)
    FW800/400 More slowly the USB2 and FW800 cannot see External Devices that working fine with my macbook pro.

    Hey Noorldin,
    I think I have a similar problem. I have always had some issues with the ports (owned the MacPro since the first month it came out) but several months ago things took a turn for the worse. External harddrives no longer work properly. USB drives won't mount, firewire drives will mount but the transfer rate is roughly 1MB a sec and after ~10 MB I get an error and the transfer stops. Other peripherals work for the most part but not well. My external usb microphone will not stop receiving audio signals when turned off and my canon HV20 drops frames during transfers. My awesome fujitsu scansnap scanner, printer, and usb mouse transmitter all work fine though. I used to be able to play many 1080p videos at the same time, now I can not play one without frames dropping even when booted into a new clean internal HDD. The MacPro will only sleep if I manually set it to sleep. The autosleep feature will have the internal hdds spinning up and down all night.
    I spent 20 min on hold to get an Apple rep and then 47 min on hold to get an Apple Specialist. The specialist was very kind and tried many things with me. In the end, the specialist concluded that my Logic board or CPUs were most likely bad and that I should get them tested and possibly replaced. You may need the same.
    One weird thing I tried just the other night was to unplug all USB and Firewire devices, including my 30 in display and wireless mouse hub, and then I plugged in just one firewire hdd. It worked fine!? So, I will continue testing on my own for a while and let you know what I find out from my tests or from the Apple repairs, as I have only seen one other person with an issue like mine and what I believe might be yours too. I have seen many issues with the front ports not working right though.

  • Video files show very low resolution poster image

    Using Indesign CC and the latest tools and content viewer I am creating Autoplay video animations for the cover of our weekly magazine.
    With each issue I have published the same problem occurs where the poster image for the video file is very low resolution and makes our content look very amateur (for a brief moment) before playing the video file at full resolution.
    I have tried creating animations using flash, photoshop and Edge Animate, exporting MP4, MOV and OAM files. The problem is present with all movie files and with the Edge animation files a white flash appears before the file plays.
    Is there a solution for either of these issues? We are looking to continue to use animations for our covers and need them to look 100% crisp and clean.

    Sorry to jump in but I'm having the same issue too!
    I have an H.264 mp4 which I created in After Effects and inserted using the Media panel within DPS.
    As you see below, it plays on page load and I have chosen the finished front cover to be the poster image when it ends from within the Folio Overlays panel. I have set the video to stop on the last page.
    When the video stops you can see all the artifacting around the text which I would expect to be as crisp as the original PSD file I uploaded as the poster image.
    Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything that can improve the quality of the final still?

  • Rendered video very low quality

    My camera shoots in MTS format. I converted the file to mp4 and edited it. I then imported that footage into After Effects and when I tried to render the video it was very low quality. I made sure the composition settings and render settings matched that of my video. I tried saving it as H.264, mov, avi, m4v, and mpeg2 non of which were good enough quality to use. The avi format came close in quality for the video but everything seemed to move in slow motion. The audio played perfectly though. I also tried rendering video directly from the MTS file and it still didn't work.
    Is there a specific way I should convert or encode the file? I tried some different settings within Adobe Media Encoder but when I brought the file into AE and tried to render I got the same issues of it being low quality.
    This is for a client so it's very important that I get the needed effects added to this video. Thanks in advance for any help!

    I understand how After Effects rendering works and different file types. I just wanted to try rendering in different formats just make sure I hadn't missed something. I figured something out that came close to the quality I need so I guess it will have to work.
    My original MTS file is 1920 x 1080 and 29 fps.
    I rendered it with these settings originally
    NTSC, 1920 x 1080
    29.9 fps
    Bitrate CBR 30 Mbps
    The file came out choppy and noticeably lower quality.
    The last time I rendered it with these settings:
    NTSC, 1280 x 720,
    59.94 fps
    Bitrate CBR 20 MBps
    The quality was much much better. It still had a little distortion with a lot of movement but it was much more bearable so I guess that's what I'm going with. If anyone knows of any better settings it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    How do I clean my mid 2007 iMac?
         The disk space is running VERY low and I would love an idea. I make videos and upload them to youtube and I need space to do that. Thanks for your time!                              
                                       If you have an idea please respond!

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Select single to RSEG with very low performance

    Hello experts,
    We have recently upgraded our sap basis from 701 to 740 and we are experiencing a very low performance with the following abap instruction:
    select single * from rseg into lw_rseg where ebeln = lw_output-pedido and
                                                                ebelp = lw_output-item and
                                                                kschl = lw_output-kschl.
    Could it be anything from the upgrade?
    Any suggestions?
    If we change the "*" for only one field of the RSEG table, would the improvement in te performance be significant?
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Raquel Oliveira

    Hi, Raquel!
    In SELECT statement you are not using the key fields for RSEG table.
    Replacing "*" by a single field won't do the trick.
    In our system we've got a table index on EBELN and EBELP fields in RSEG and it helps a lot.
    In case you don't want to set additional indexes you can find all incoming invoices for the purchasing document items in EKBE table and then go to RSEG having BELNR, GJAHR and BUZEI fields.
    If you already have table index on RSEG with EBELN & EBELP fields - you can trace SQL statement in ST05 and check whether it uses the index.
    And apart from that - anything can be from upgrade

  • Very poor video streaming from youtube

    I cannot watch a single video from youtube or any other site. I have OS v6.0.0.522. Is there anything i can do?? It will play a video for a few seconds then just starts to buffer. I have a BB 3G 9300 with Sprint

    Hello mikeswitzer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    As you have already figured out poor signal strength equals poor bandwidth performance. This, of course, will be noticeable for both audio and video streaming.
    I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the Time Capsule (TC), note the readings, and then, go to the location where you currently have the Mac Mini.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at the Mac Mini, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your TC. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the TC or the Mac Mini until they are within a 20dB SNR range.
    Another option is to utilize a transceiver on the Mac Mini to try to increase the Mini's built-in AirPort antenna ability to pick up the signal from the TC. One vendor that provides these is QuickerTek.

  • Very low on system memory warning with plenty of memory left

    Hi,
    I am using Premiere Elements 7 on Windows XP, AMD 3GHz dual core with 4GB memory. I create DVDs based on AVCHD files from a Canon HF100, almost no editing, 1 hour of DVD content (8 GB worth of AVCHD files) . I have done this with the same configuration in the past without problems, but lately Premiere has been very unstable, either crashing outright or giving me the following warning:
    Adobe Premiere Elements is running very low on system memory. Please save your project and proceed with caution.
    When I try to burn a DVD, this warning is always shows within minutes, followed by a transcoding error. I tried everything to free up more space, nothing else significant is running on my machine, and I have exited most other background processes. When the above warning is shown, physical memory consumption is is reported as following:
    Commit Charge: 1.8 GB
    Premiere Elements process: 1.1 GB
    Free memory: 1.5 GB
    I also have virtual memory set to 8GB. Premiere scratch directories are on a disk with 500GB free space. I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere, but no improvement.
    Other relevant software on my machine, some of it installed after I had my last successful DVD burn:
    Norton 360 2010 (Disabled Firewall and Autoprotect)
    Adobe Web Premium CS3
    Adobe Lightroom 2.5
    Copernic Desktop Search (Disabled)
    A number of free video tools, like HandBrake, AutoGK, AVISynth, VobSub, DVD Decrypter, Xvid
    Tivo Desktop (Disabled)
    iTunes (Disabled)
    Could there be any side effect from the other software? Any potential hardware problems I should investigate? Everything else works perfectly, including the other Adobe products.
    I very much appreciate your help, Premiere is unusable at the moment and I have some DVDs I desperately want to create.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Have you rendered your timeline?
    If you're sceneline mode, switch to timeline mode. Is there a red line above your clips? If so, press Enter and let the program render your timeline (the red line will turn green).
    This should greatly improve your program's stability and performance.
    Also, ensure that the disc where you are storing your video files is formatted NTFS and not FAT32 (as they are when they come from the factory). FAT32 drives have a file size limit that can choke video work.
    And, if this 500 gig drive is not your C drive, ensure that your C drive also has at least 30-50 gigs of free space, freshly defragmented and with its temp files regularly cleared.

  • How do I fix my ipod classic that says very low batter after I have charged it and the problem persists?

    I have an Ipod video 30g that says Please wait very low battery. I charged it for about a day and the problem persists. I've tried using some solutions on the internet and none of them worked including: holding the menu and select, holding select and play to put it in disk mode with no avail. Is there anyone who can help me!!!

    Have you read this post written by another forum member?
    The Sad iPod icon.
    However, as your iPod was purchased on Boxing Day, why not get it serviced under the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
