Title: How To: Increase frame rates (FPS)
Post by: Neave on July 30, 2007, 12:29:15 pm
Select a subject
- Important note. If enabling Visual Effects to Very High, or even High bugs you down, its a CPU issue. Shadows and Visual Effects are run on the CPU

Adjust the Visual effects as you'd like.

Note: 07/12/2009:

These guides are now two years old but the potential of them is the exact same. The only difference is the way nVidia Control Panel, and ATIs control panel work. This is still a very simple process, but may require a few extra seconds of looking for an option

Note: 11/15/2011
Seeing as this post in now two years older than I last said that, and the potential is ever greater, compared to the tech from 2009.

Find out what video card you have... And then choose High end or Low end depending on your card, Match it up with whats listed in green

Im going to try it out (not sure about the anti aliasing part for the low end!)

ill post here again if it got improved

EDIT: Yes it really did work, I turned off the frame limiter now + anti aliasing and it works a little faster now

EDIT again: I got 256 mb video card and its a nvidia geforce FX 5600, so maybe I should use high end?

tests show that AA can hurt fps on even the highest preforming cards i always have it off(especialy i First person shooters where a smooth running game is paramount)if you have a good card (we are talking high end 7 & 8 series ) x8 realy is the max id try x2 and x4 first ...

AF however can yield great results in clarity at only lower costs in fps

Oh and a little tip I use a little prog called Teamspeak overlay , it is a gadget that gives an overlay displaying your TS channel in the game (shows whos talking in a channel who enters , who leaves)BUT it also displays the Framerate handy to check you tweaking results ingame (or does samp have a command like games as battlefield 2142 already ?) -an exelent benchmark test for your card btw that game is

Title: Streamline v 3.0 ATI and nVida Overclocking
Post by: Neave on July 30, 2007, 04:21:26 pm
The following guide will explain how to Overclock you nVidia graphic cards
Do you really want to keep your Graphic settings as high as they can be? Buts its slow? Well this may fix the problem!


Windows Update Secrets!

Visit this website and when it ask Express or Custom, Click on custom.

After you clicked on Custom You will see on the left of your screen Various Free Programs and Updates that are NOT Automaticly installed by Windows update!

http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us (http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us)

If you didnt read my first guide then please do! http://www.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=6166.0 (http://www.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=6166.0)



Warning: Going out of the Green zone could result in system instablility.



Please download nTune from the nvidia Website (Or get the link from my previous guide)

Step 1: Open nTune

Step 2: Click on Adjust GPU Settings and NV Monitor
            Don't see That option? Then look under Performance and Then look for Accept Agreement, Accept it

Step 3: Notice on the NVMonitor the Green boxes near GPU Core (3D) and GPU Memory? Keep an eye on those boxes at all times

Step 4: At the bottom of the nTune window you will see the Fan controls, Click on Direct Fan control and change it to 125% Speed, Then click on Apply
           Look at NVMonitor to make sure all the boxes are still green (All of them)

Step 5: In nTune click on Custom Clock Frequencys

Step 6: (Keep NVMonitor in veiw at all time)

Step 7: Make sure ALL 3-D Programs are closed, includeing GTA:SA

Step 8: Slowly (About 25 MHz per time) change the Speed of each bar, i recommend adding about 25 MHz each time then clicking Apply and taking a look at NVMonitor to make sure that speed you chose is stable

Step 9: Keep on raising the bar until it turns Yellow
             Never allow it to be yellow or Red for more then 5 Min

Step 10: When it turns yellow very slowly lower the bar until it turns green again

Step 11: Run GTASA and verify that these settings are okay

Step 12: You're done!


FAQ

Q: What if i were to make the settings to nigh and my computer freezes?

A: IF this happens simply restart your PC with the Power Button or the Restart Button (If your PC has one)

Q: Is this safe?

A: Yes it is, I know what i am doing nad my 7950 GT Cards have been over cloed by 300 MHz (about 30%) for a Year now, No problems   

Q: My performance is worse.. Why?

A: Some older video cards were never built for Overclocking, Performing an action on a card that wasent ment to be done can result in this


***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***

Skipping ANY of these steps can result in System failure, GPU Burning, CPU Burning, or can even result in your graphic card being destroyed

I've been doing this kind of stuff for about 4 1/2 Years now so I do know what I am doing

overcloocking can be VERY dangerous, as at first hand i learnt that overclocking can lead to your cpu fan setting on fire and burning the inside of my pc :D

Because of the antialising Ö

Antialising removes the jaggy edges of objects

Anisotroper increases the detail of distance objects

Try doing this, Make all the settings Application-Controlled and then turn Frame limitor OFF, And then make the Maximum Recording FPS for Fraps at 100

Well a simple way to cool down your system is moveing all of the long skinny fat wires in the corners to increase air flow, If you video card dose not go above 70 Degrees Celcius (You can find out your video card temp on NVMonitor) then your video card is okay

I mean, sometimes when I play a game the whole game gets pixelated. Even when I dont do anything warm air comes out the computer. So if I overclock it I got a higher change it does that I guess

So I say no... (dont wanna lose my pc  :lol: )

BTW: I got 1.8ghz processor not 2.0 so I guess I shouldnt do it anyway!  :)

If you see white dots appear then i recommend Lowering you Overclock by alteast 100 MHz

It was from my brother one year ago maybe he overclocked it.. It only happens once in 6months though or when my computer is on really long

But im thinking if I overclock him now that it wont be 6 months but every week.. (more heat)

As long as the Grapic card dose not go about 75 Degrees Celcius then your okay, But if it stays at 70+ Celcius then i recommend lowering the MHz of the card

Ill download it and try it out...

Should I keep something on the same level so it wont increase?

WAIT Can I use nvidia fx 5600 too? (dunno if its the 6 series)

EDIT: in your other guide it says it has 128mb but it says it has 256mb on my computer..  :neutral:

This stuff is alright compared to my mate linking 20 2.0ghz proceescors together to make a pc that set on fire lol.
overcloocking can be VERY dangerous, as at first hand i learnt that overclocking can lead to your cpu fan setting on fire and burning the inside of my pc :D
had to buy a new tower ut i learnt if your gunna over clock rember your defualt settings else your buggered


Well first of all... Its impossable for your computer to "go on fire" Once a video card. CPU or any other PC Park gets to high, the computer automaticly shuts off and wont turn back on untils its cooled enough...

I have 2048 Mb of ram, the GFX card can reach up to 884Mb using the CPU ram.
Anyway, I found the problem, this new GFX cards need to run in order to function better and better according to the time you spend pushing them to the limit.
or else they will just use 128Mb of dedicated mem and not use their full potential.

Hello i would recomend another tool

ATItool works for all Nvidia and ATI graphiccards
You have two choices either do it automatic or manually..
Automatic
Click on find max core and find max mem and it should be optimized but if you want to try more do it manually

Manually done
If you see random white pixels then it means that you have setted the speed to high. Deincrease the speed and it should work.

I just want to say i thing off-topic.

It's near impossible to make a game look 100% real-life. If then you had to make each water part like tiny tiny tiny small 3d parts that can seperate etc. You had to make 3d flexible as atoms to make it look real.

Sorry guys. But i never heard a game 100% like real-life without having lines and bugs and shader problems.

Awesome graphic tough.

well a store i worked in had a signed deal with Asus as official distributors, so Asus sent a guy to be with us for a week and teach us some of their work ways,anyways,during one coffe brake we asked what he thinks what is the best pc sys

reply: durring my work expirience i learned:

-work computer(video editing, cad, 3d design.....) Intel multy-core cpu and ATI grafic,

-gaming computer AMD cpu and good Nvidia grafic

reasons: working pc guy needs a multy cores to multy task(example one core renders video, one burnes dvd, one is for windows stuff and still has one to work confortably with),plus ati is more work oriented(just look at their site and how often they release hotfixes for games)
            gaming pc need one strong cpu to push the game to max and a grafix that can run it smooth(Nvidia is more 3d, directx oriented)

Title: Re: Vastly Increase Gameplay Performane; 500%+
Post by: Kitsune on May 27, 2010, 09:41:03 pm
I've just noticed a detail on the guides that seems rather outdated. With regard to the step that says, "turn frame limiter off", you should actually leave it on, since SA:MP now has an /fpslimit command, which you should set to slightly under your average FPS (you can find out your average FPS by using a program like FRAPS, which displays your FPS on the screen).

The point of setting it to slightly under your average is to help prevent the lag caused by when you get significant FPS fluctuation, whilst maximising game smoothness.

nVidia's laptop video cards has extremely weak FPS with anti-aliasing.. Try using the 8 series guide, but set anti-aliasing to 0.

Try with Catalyst, removing all AA stuff, etc...

But well, you'll not run GTA IV fine on max settings with 5570, Unless you have 4GB memory and a quad core processor.

I have a 9600GT, Phenom II X6 1055T and i can't run on max, because my memory is 2GB DDR3 1333.

Is a 40mhz overclock really mentionable? :O
Oh and by the way, SLI is nvidia. For 2 AMD cards its Crossfire.
And i wouldnt run my GPU fan on constant 100%. Its noisy and reduces the life span. Just turn it on Automatic from catalyst control center and it will adjust the speeds depending on the temperature.

If you plan buying a new computer, wait till 2012, because this year, AMD's bulldozer series are getting released (16-core/8-core processor)

Bulldozer series promisses delivering 50% more perfomance than actual i7's.

About video card, don't use Crossfire, it's not good, consumes more energy, and you'll need a better refrigeration system.

I'd sugest wait more for 2012 also. 7000's/8000's series are comming up.

By the way, ATI doesnt exists no more, it's AMD Radeon now.

that's the AMD Radeon HD6990, actual world's fastest comercial gaming video card.

If you have this video card, you will probably not run on max.

if you are willing to buy one video card, i sugest you purchase a HD 5870/5850 OR HD 5770/5750
If you're choosing nvidia, go with GTX 460/280/260/450
also, i HIGHLY sugest you purchase a DX11/10 compatible card.

and OFC, all depends on power supply you have, and budget.

Also,alot depend on resolution ull play on. Its wasting of money if you buy 5850 or 5870 to play on <20 inch. For 22'' curentlly is perfectlly enough something like 5750/5770 or Gtx 460 from nvidia. And only if every single frame means to you then buy something above 200 euros/dollars.

Sorry but it's not out yet. And when it eventually is it will be hotter, consume more energy and be less powerful than the GTX590 that's coming out soon as well. Just look at the current cards lineup GTX560 owns a 6950 and a 570 a 6970. Yes, a 6950 can be bios flashed to a 6970 but that's risking bricking it and the clocks 560s achieve push the boundaries of sanity. And then there's the flagship 580 which is.. well.. flagship ,no other word for it, really. They're cooler, quieter and use less power. If you told me Nvidia'd be making cards like that a year ago I'd have laughed in your face and told you to go hide in a hole...

Last year you'd be a total idiot to buy NVidia.. oh how things have changed.  :lol: Ever since the 460s came out the only way for Nvidia was up up up.

I really doubt Buldozer beating a 950 by 50%.. that's just a retarded claim by AMD which will never come true - look at how bold they were about the 69xx and then they came out.. and everybody per brainless fanboys saw they sucked.

I have 4GB ram DDR3 and C2D E8290, So? ....

@Wayne: GTA IV is a game based on cores, it uses processor way more than the GPU, and in case you have a good CPU but GPU can't make up to it.. it's just too old.. Once you change GPU to a newer one, you shall be able to play it.. the fault is not on the ram, game recommends 3GB in fact, so 2GB is still good!

@FastShoot: What about your graphics card.. but even if you have a good one, your C2D E8290 is not enough to run GTA IV..

I used to run GTA IV at 20-25FPS max with C2D E6400 + 8800GS + 2GB ram.. I later changed GPU to HD4670 and still had same results because my CPU was just crappy.

Also, the 5570 is a low-end card, don't expect much out of it..

Personally I use a GTX 280 with AMD Athlon II x4 640, with 4GB DDR2 RAM running at 800MHZ

Basically I went down the Graphics list, maxed out everything going down, everything is max except one setting which is at three quarters. (As I have 1024mb Graphics Memory and GTA IV needs a lil bit more for max)

I get about 50FPS. However, what I thought was rather strange is that technically I'm running it at a higher capability than its able, as my Graphics Memory Usage is saying 1100mb/1024mb.  Ie, using more than I have.

Jelly :(

But you should improve your RAM from DDR2 to DDR3, use 1333MhZ or 1600.

Yeah, lol.

When I bought my PC, they person I bought the bits off was saying how fantastic DDR3 was, absolute necessity. I asked him for a specific board, and he had no DDR3 boards in stock. He backtracked saying I'd barely notice the difference.

Hm, I'd need a board compatible with my stuff, AMD Athlon II x4 640, GTX280, but with DDR3 RAM.

Would need to be less than 40GBP, ideally have 4 slots for RAM.

http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78LM_LX_V2/ (http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78LM_LX_V2/) Only has 2 slots but is cheap.

http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78LMUSB3/#specifications (http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78LMUSB3/#specifications) - Costs a tiny bit more but apparently has 4 slots.

I've used both of those boards in builds for customers and they are both excellent.

The game works fine on a laptop dated from 1999, you don't need i3.
