I get really low rates by playing games.

From: Talvos

 
I just got a new PC and I installed the Orange Box having all the updates and patches and its operation to a really low rate does anyone know who this little problem

PC: m8200n

There 3Gigs of ram and a HP Pavilion Media Center AMD Athlon 64 X 2

Processor Dual-Core 6000

Graphics card: GeForce 6150 SE

Windows Vista 32 bit

From: Andy [YaYa]

Hey Talvos,

You have a good system, but your video card is not for games. Integrated video cards just not make games, but also a dedicated video card.

Fortunately, I think I know what system you are using the same if you post your model number of HP (cough, cough), and you have a PCI-Express slot in your system, simply go to your local retailer favorite and look into buying a video card. If you talk to someone, tell them what game you want to run and what system you have and see if they have a recommendation.

I would recommend an nVidia 8600 or 8800 (all that you can accept), do not go lower than the 8600. Amount of RAM on the card doesn't really matter, but you'll more than likely 512 or 320megs. Make sure the box says PCI-Express somewhere on it and not AGP.

Slap this bad boy in your Inbox, or find a friend who knows what he does to help, download the latest drivers from nVidia.com and repeat the game.

For the moment, but if you want to improve your framerate, to drop your resolution in the game down for like 800 x 600 and adjust advanced down a bit, or make sure they are all failing. Turn off stuff like

Anti-Aliasing, it is nice, but it takes a lot of processing power.

If you want to go with an ATi card, the HD 2600 is also a good choice. (Valve preferred and less problems of compatibility with most of the games)

    What do you think is the problem?

    It is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is, but for you, it's portable clean.
    Maybe there's a lot of dust inside and dirt block cooling rack.

    When the laptop cannot be cooled correctly the material temperature reached the critical level very quickly and portable will switch down without any warning or message.

  • What is a good frame rate Flash for a file that I have to get really small?

    I know it depends on. I work at 30 fps in general, or 26 if Im slumming, but need to really tighten something down.

    I know that there are other ways to reduce the size of the file in addition to fps, but did not know if there was a rule. Like 30-26-20-16 or other "tiered" yours below.

    Must it always be even numbers?

    What makes you think that the rate reduction will reduce the size of the file? I've been around Flash for some time and would never consider more low rate to reduce the size of the file... seems that if a Flash file has 1000's of executives more content... to read the file you still 1000 executives and all content. Using a low setting only average it will take more time to play through all frames... am I missing something?

  • Get an Access Violation error when playing games

    OP: Access Violation errors!

    I have download games on a game site that I trust and don't usually have problems. In the last 4 months, some of the new games that I downloaded and tried to play, give me the Access Violation error when I try to open the game to play the demo. Now just recently I noticed that several of my games that I bought and played for months, give me also Access Violation errors. I worked on it for months with people in customer service (on the site of games) and have not solved. The strange thing is, I can play some of these games on different websites without any problems or Violations of access at all. Yet the customer service people keep trying to 'fix' my computer, as if it were from my computer something to make this happen. At this point, I'm so frustrated that I had to try to get you all to see if anyone has experience this problem before and/or solved this kind of case before. I tried to turn off my Norton before download and play without success. I've updated everything that could be updated in regards to drivers, and such go.
    My system is Vista 32 bit, IE8, Norton Security and anti-virus.  Thanks for any help!

    Hello saund477,

    My research, I find that it is a known problem with Big fish games. I also see that some users were able to solve this problem and play games by disabling the antivirus program on their computer.

    I suggest that you turn off the Anti Virus program and check if you are able to play the game.

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    You can refer to the thread below that I found that the forum of Big fish:

    http://forums.bigfishgames.com/posts/list/4106.page

    I also suggest that you post your question to the Bigfish forum for a better answer to this question, because the problem is only with Bigfish games:

  • Get black borders while playing games...

    I have the Dell Studio 15 with 512 MB graphics card Ati mobility radeon hd 4570 and windows 7 Professional.

    but then that play games like the sims 3, sabotuer im getting the black borders. Even the resolution of my screen is 1366 * 768.

    so please help me on this problem.

    Thank you.

    rashri,
    Are you getting these borders on all sides of the image or just the top and bottom of the screen?  If your laptop is capable of 1080 p, what happens when you set a resolution of 1920 X 1080.  If your screen can only do 720 p then try the 1280 x 720 resolution and see if that makes a difference.

  • whenever I'm on facebook, play games, I get a message that if I continue to use scripts, can lock up my computer

    whenever I'm on facebook, play games, I get a message that if I continue to use scripts, can lock up my computer.

    I don't understand what that means.

    What can I do to fix this?

    I have windows xp

    I guess that your topic is not correct, since it is the problem with the site NOT updated.

    The problem of script depend on the site Web that when you play a game, there are several scripts written in the game that cause your browser becomes slow. Try to delete your browser history and also update your Windows.

    It is advisable to report this problem to the game devloper, since this question primarily related to the design of the game, they could solve it.

    Hello

    To help you, we will need files DMP to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

    If you don't know where the DMP files, here's how to get to them:
    1. go to the Windows\Minidump folder.
    2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.
    3 download the zip containing the files DMP to Skydrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste in your answer.

    If you plan to use Skydrive, but do not know how to download it, please see the following:
    http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

    Please note that all "cleaner" such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove files DMP when using because of their place too.

    If your computer doesn't generate DMP files, follow these steps:

    1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

    2. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

    3. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > failure > ensure there is a check mark next to "Write an event to the system log" > make sure that "automatically reboot" is unchecked.

    Ensure that the partial memory image is turned on and make sure the path is % SystemRoot%\Minidump.

    4. check that the viewers is ENABLED:

    Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

    If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

    Kind regards

  • Low rate display on a good laptop!

    Hello

    Recently I bought a new laptop called the: HP 15-P032ND

    Specification of the laptop:

    Processor: AMD Quad Core A8-6410 2.0 GHz (up to 3.5)

    RAM: 12 GB / HARD drive: 1 TB + 8 GB ExpressCache

    Graphics card: AMD Radeon R7 M260(2GB)

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Mainly for school purposes and sometimes a little play.

    Then I started Minecraft and noticed that I had really low framerates! (All about 20-50 FPS)

    The first thing that comes to my mind is; "Why have I not display on a newly bought these low rates.

    with record decent laptop?' So I tried a few things like;

    -Minecraft setting for the smallest possible settings! (Still only around 40-50 FPS)

    -Allocate more memory for minecraft

    -Turn off VSync in the AMD Catalyst Control Center

    -Minecraft setting a high priority in the graphic menu AMD switchable

    -Javaw setting a high priority in the graphic menu AMD switchable

    -Addition of Minecraft in the games/3DSettings menu

    -Addition to the games/3DSettings menu Javaw

    -Try to change the graphics mode in the BIOS CH instead of DYNAMIC

    (This is not possible because I don't have the ability to change my graphics mode!)

    But none of these options worked, I always get the same FPS rate as I did before!

    If anyone can help me solve this problem, then it would be amazing!

    Hello

    The problem you are experiencing is an old question with Minecraft.  I'm not too surprised.  Google the question of Minecraft.  Must be able to go far beyond 100 + FPS if you change the setting of the game proper.

  • Qosmio X 770-107 - question GPU acceleration and low of the FPS game while

    Hi all

    As everyone knows (i) hope including Toshiba tech we face breakdowns of sparks/Framerate GPU limitation/Low FPS during the game, even in the game of old or new brand and down or in the highest video settings.

    So lets start with the history of the mine: I bought my Toshiba Qosmio x 770-107-3D about $2600 so I was in Qatar to the 13.04.2012... In fact since the beginning of the purchased when I am faced with this famous problem of limitation GPU... I tried a lot of things, cleaning the fan, bios and driver chart updated-decommissioning, using software overclocking, combining different versions of graphics drivers with different versions of bios drivers, also including the suggestions in this tread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=63615

    2 days ago, I sent an email to Toshiba UK support and local support. Unfortunately I have no answer, I probably wouldn't be as usual. And I left one term of 7 months. As everyone knows; even if I sent it to Toshiba repair service, 99% they say the fault of the user or the dirty vere fans and we reflash the bios. who has no sense for us and they're going to get him back without GPU acceleration problem soving...

    In summary that I am out of options, I'm really tempted to try to solve this problem of trottling gpu...
    Maybe I should sent cell phone service and with their report of nonsense I should consider rights costumer Court in my country... will be 4 to 6 months, but in the end 90% I win.

    I am really bored and tired of playing the games lag in every 10 minutes.
    Yesterday, with and without external display, + with slot and overclocking, + video settings further down, I played Company of heroes 2 and Battlefield 2 and 4 with ventilation of the limitation and the new GPU framerate... it's totally waste of money and my time of 2 years. I want to buy alienware instead of Qosmio 2 years...

    What should I do? You really have a permanent solution for this? I await your comments.

    Win7
    BIOS v2.10
    Graphics driver v33x.x

    Kind regards.

    I read the reviews of users and customers in the thread you link above and it seems that the limitation issue was already resolved. The combination of the BIOS (v1.1?) and nVidia Driver seems to be the key.
