Why do I often get significantly better performance out of the integrated GFX on the new MBP 15"?

I have the new lower-end 15" MBP. I have never once experienced a time where the discrete GPU outperformed the "HD Graphics 3000". Just the opposite, in fact. On a particular itunes visualizer, I get around 55fps with the integrated GFX, and around 32 with discrete. When playing games from The Orange Box, I get 90-140fps on integrated gfx and 30-50 on discreet. These are the only specific benchmarks I have, but I have noticed the same trend elsewhere too. Is there something wrong with my computer, or is this the norm?

@ds_storeI thought the HD 3000 didn't really have any RAM, but it could borrow 384 megs from the system RAM?
Yes the HD 3000 uses main memory where programs and working files are stored, assuming the 384MG is assigned when the machine boots up. If one places more RAM in their machine, there is the possibility that more memory could be used by the HD 3000.
With about 11 on the OpenGL for the dual core with HD 3000, the quad core with HD 3000 might be around 22 or so on the OpenGL which might be just around as fast as the descrete Radeon 6490M. (which is a poor card BTW)
If certain programs were optimized for the HD 3000 by default, yea sure on this machine it's looking like certain programs may be faster on the HD 3000 than on the descrete card.

I understand if the HD 3000 gfx performs better at encoding/decoding video, it has a whole new instruction set for that, but it seems like if it performs this well all around, apple shouldn't have wasted the space for the discrete card...
It's looking with the low end 15" one has the same performance on either, all depends upon the software if it's written for integrated or descrete graphics.
Some 3D games won't run unless it has a descrete video card, what's the use.
You can see here though, descrete graphics is way ahead of integrated graphics

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?
Ciao.

Why can't we get free aps with out an ITunes card or a credit card. We used to be able to.

Help me! I have 2 problems. My sons wifi won't connect. It says incorrect passcoad.Or no avalibel network. Also why can't we get free app with out an ITunes card or credit card. When I got my first iPhone I could get free apps with out an iTunes card or a credit card.

I believe to upgrade or an update is actually free purchases...so for billing purposes you'll need a method of payment...either a credit card, or PayPal attached to your Apple ID...NOTE, you won't be charged...it's just a part of the check and balance verification.

I am getting occasional Safari is out of date messages but checking for new software says "up to date".

weI am getting occasional Safari is out of date messages but checking for new software says "up to date". Initially we subscribed to Support but did not realize that it has expired. We have upgraded the OS once but have not received any notices of additional upgrades. So far I have not come across a way to update on my own.

I suspect this is the issue but wonder whether it is wise to upgrade my model:
Model Identifier: iMac11,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i3
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
Will it run it?

Any general tips on getting better performance out of multi table insert?

I have been struggling with coding a multi table insert which is the first time I ever use one and my Oracle skills are pretty poor in general so now that the query is built and works fine I am sad to see its quite slow.
I have checked numerous articles on optimizing but the things I try dont seem to get me much better performance.
First let me describe my scenario to see if you agree that my performance is slow...
its an insert all command, which ends up inserting into 5 separate tables, conditionally (at least 4 inserts, sometimes 5 but the fifth is the smallest table). Some stats on these tables as follows:
Source table: 5.3M rows, ~150 columns wide. Parallel degree 4. everything else default.
Target table 1: 0 rows, 27 columns wide. Parallel 4. everything else default.
Target table 2: 0 rows, 63 columns wide. Parallel 4. default.
Target table 3: 0 rows, 33 columns wide. Parallel 4. default.
Target table 4: 0 rows, 9 columns wide. Parallel 4. default.
Target table 5: 0 rows, 13 columns wide. Parallel 4. default.
The parallelism is just about the only customization I myself have done. Why 4? I dont know it's pretty arbitrary to be honest.
Indexes?
Table 1 has 3 index + PK.
Table 2 has 0 index + FK + PK.
Table 3 has 4 index + FK + PK
Table 4 has 3 index + FK + PK
Table 5 has 4 index + FK + PK
None of the indexes are anything crazy, maybe 3 or 4 of all of them are on multiple columns, 2-3 max. The rest are on single columns.
The query itself looks something like this:
insert /*+ append */ all
when 1=1 then
into table1 (...) values (...)
into table2 (...) values (...)
when a=b then
into table3 (...) values (...)
when a=c then
into table3 (...) values (...)
when p=q then
into table4(...) values (...)
when x=y then
into table5(...) values (...)
select .... from source_table
Hints I tried are with append, without append, and parallel (though adding parallel seemed to make the query behave in serial, according to my session browser).
Now for the performance:
It does about 8,000 rows per minute on table1. So that means it should also have that much in table2, table3 and table4, and then a subset of that in table5.
Does that seem normal or am I expecting too much?
I find articles talking about millions of rows per minute... Obviously i dont think I can achieve that much... but maybe 30k or so on each table is a reasonable goal?
If it seems my performance is slow, what else do you think I should try? Is there any information I may try to get to see if maybe its a poorly configured database for this?
P.S. Is it possible I can run this so that it commits every x rows or something? I had the heartbreaking event of a network issue giving me this sudden "ora-25402: transaction must roll back" after it was running for 3.5 hours. So I lost all the progress it made... have to start over. plus i wonder if the sheer amount of data being queued for commit/rollback is causing some of the problem?

Looks like there are about 54 sessions on my database, 7 of the sessions belong to me (2 taken by TOAD and 4 by my parallel slave sessions and 1 by the master of those 4)
In v$session_event there are 546 rows, if i filter it to the SIDs of my current session and order my micro_wait_time desc:

Get a better performance with audio interface?

Hi all.
I got a silly question. I run Logic 7 on a Powerbook G4 12" with 1.33 Ghz and (only) 768 Mb RAM and a (hard to built in) 160 Gb Harddrive.
After having often the "Disk is too slow..." message I was thinking about buying a external audio interface (presonus firebox).
My simple question is: does an external audio interface give Logic (or CoreAudio) more free DSP-Power? So that maybe I got a better performance? Or do I need to get something like a TC Powercore Firewire?
An answer would be great ... otherwise I have to sell my nice and small 12incher and buy an Intelbook ...
Thanks. Frank.
Powerbook G4 12" 1.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A new audio interface won't help.
You should start by getting an external 7200 RPM Firewire drive to put your audio on. That right there will help, especially with higher track counts.
Secondly, get more RAM. 768 of RAM is borderline for Logic. I always recommend at least 1 gig. Go ahead and max out that Powerbook to 2 gig of RAM, if you can.
All that to say, an Intel mac would be a huge improvement over the Powerbook. And if you do go that route, still get an external FW drive for audio, and as much RAM as you can afford.

Please help! I should be getting much better performance! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, there!
I've recently started using After Effects CC and I am getting extremely poor performance, especially given my machine specs (or so I believe).
Everything is very slow, including the actual software interface. Even with the Live Update switched off:
- Moving components on the actual composition view is practically impossible: click, drag, wait about 15seconds, release click and it has moved somewhat in the general direction required, but not even to the place the mouse stopped.
- Scrubbing doesn't work at all, even after the render bar on the timeview is already fully green.
- Standard preview (spacebar) can never play at realtime. The only way to play footage at realtime is to use RAM preview (numpad 0), but even then it takes ages to render small parts (10seconds of footage, takes anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes).
It's enfuriating! I am so convinced that my machine should perform SO much better than this!
I have tried everything that I can think of and everything that I have found on this forum and others through out the internet. Spent the last week googling this issue and have not made much improvement!
I have even checked the raytracker_supported_cards.txt file actually included the GeForce GTX 590. It does.
Any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated, cos I am stumped. Many thanks!

Have played with it in Fast Draft too, but rendering was quicked on Adaptive Resolution.
This is because for A.R. it uses multiprocessing, but for Fast Draft M.P. is disable (incompatible mode, it says).

Thanks again!

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Why do I often get blank frames while acquiring images using external trigger under Windows 7?

I'm using Windows 7, the latest LabVIEW and IMAQdx right now. The program was developed based on the example provided by LabVIEW. Everything ran well on Windows XP using internal trigger or external trigger. But when I wanted to run the program on a desktop with Win 7, I just cannot get the images continuously using the external trigger. Although I can get the images, the blank frames showed up very often. When I chose the internal trigger, there was no problem.
Once I thought there might be something wrong with my program. But I tried the LabVIEW example to select the internal trigger mode and external trigger mode, it had the same problem.
Is there anyone could give me some suggestions to solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
The images are either "all blank" or "all good".
The hardware setup is exactly the same.
The blank images are not acquired periodically.
Similar results were also seen when using MAX to control the camera.
We found a solution to this problem. But we don't know how to explain it. When we were using the 5-Hz external trigger, we thought the video mode would not affect the image acquisition and therefore we left the video mode option as default (15 fps). But when we change the video mode to 7.5 fps or 30 fps, the problem disappeared. So now if we want to get rid of the blank frames while using the external trigger, we just need to choose the video mode other than 15 fps. Interestingly, when we switch back to the XP system, the camera also acquried inconsistent blank frames if we set the video mode at 15 fps.
Thanks again for your help.

How to get better performance out of iMovie?

I have a 13" MBP (2010) with 2.4GHz. I bought the machine to edit video on the road and it did great when I first bought it running Snow Leopard. After upgrading to Lion, I noticed it started to play back some choppy video clips while inside iMovie. The rendered clips play fine, so I wasn't too concerned. A bit of a hassle. Then I figured I would upgrade some RAM and am now running 8GB. I don't think the graphics card is limiting, because it used to run the clips fine. The video just doesn't run smooth and I am wondering how to fix. I played some clips while in iMovie and the app starts consuming 150% of the CPU resources from 2% when no video is playing. Is this what others get?
Thanks in advance!

I found a good article on this topic here: http://helgeklein.com/blog/2014/06/customizing-installing-lenovo-w540/
Published on June 17, 2014.
"With Windows 8 the product key is not printed on a sticker on the device’s underside but stored in the BIOS instead. According to the rare information to be found on this topic a plain vanilla version of Windows may or may not accept that key. In some cases additional certificates have been added to the vendor images without which the BIOS key cannot be used. Long story short: I had to try it out and had to be prepared to supply my own product key."
He doesn't comment on if he was actually successful retreiving the Key from BIOS. Does the last sentence imply that he actually had to get another product key?
BTW: just worked with the TrackPad and yes it's very noisy and clunky to click. Luckily I always use a mouse with my laptop.

Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.? I set the burn on the highest quality. The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v. They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer. I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

Hi
DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
I use
• iMovie HD6 or
• FinalCut (any version) or
• FotoMagico™
As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

Why can't I get my ipod shuffle to do anything when I know the battery is full

Why can't I get my Ipod shuffle to do anything? Before it stopped playing, saying or doing any thing I checked battery and it was full! This has happened before with another Ipod shuffle and I took it back. well, my new one is doing it. It plays for a while and then it decides to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
Headphones in properly. Check !
Battery full. Check !
I can not even see a light when I switch it on and off. No voice over to tell me anything. Zero music!
Played music for about 1-2 hours max. Should be more than this! Checked battery before it stopped anyway and this was fine.
Help!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

Hello People,
My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
Any suggestions please post below this thread.
Best Regards,
Kieran

You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

Why does Chrome insist Adobe Flash Player is out of date, but I have the latest version?

I run Mac OSx 10.5.8. I am trying to use Chrome, but the Flash is not working on either Safari or Chrome. Chrome insists Adobe Flash is out of date
, but I have the latest version available to my OS.
I have tried uninstalling, disabling plugins, reinstalling and enabling.
I have tried updating via Adobe website over 10 times.
I have tried switches which just run the outdated plugins...
I have tried renaming the system plugin in the Library and pasting in Chrome package contents
I don't have two flash plugins in the chrome:plugins
This is the error message in the chrome:plugins
Flash - Version: 10.3.183.23 Download Critical Security Update
The link goes to the Adobe website to install version 10.3.183.23, which I already have.
Please help?

Yes, it is indeed! Sorry I missed you're on OS X 10.5.8.
I reinstalled Chrome...
Can you confirm it is version 21.0.1180.79? It's important you confirm you're at the latest version of Google Chrome too.
... and I have the same issue of the Flash player not automatically updating.
I would repeat myself... "available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates".
Chrome automatically updates when new versions of Flash Player are available. The integrated Google Chrome Flash plug-in cannot be uninstalled using the Flash Player uninstaller. You can only enable or disable the integrated plug-in.
Therefore, as it's showing you're at the latest version 10.3.183.23, it would appear it is an issue 'internal' to Chrome's system updates; reason why I had referred you to their support, or alternativelly, post to their forums.
However, you can try Adobe's Help page (for Mac) here >
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
And alternativelly (Flash Player with Google Chrome) here >
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html
Regret couldn't do better for you but please confirm by return how it goes.
Good Luck!

How can i get a memory card out if i inserted it in the wrong place?

I was entering a memoery card into my mac when i accidently pushed it in to the CD opening instead of the one right under it that is for memoery cards out of cameras. Now the memoery card is stuck in there and i tried everything but i cant get it out. if any one has any suggestions on what i should do please reply back!!!!

If the card does not come out of the optical drive when you turn the iMac on its side and gently shake it you have a problem. Some users have reported success by inserting a thin piece of card into the drive to dislodge the memory card but you risk damaging the optical drive mechanism/optics or pushing the card in further.
It will be an expensive repair as it will not be covered by warranty. It may be cheaper to 'write-off' the internal drive and by an external OEM USB drive. Do not buy an Apple Superdrive as it will not work.
