Right, some of you out there play on Netbooks, not so high specification laptops and computers, and what I'm sure some of you want is to speed up the game, even by a little bit.

This Mainly applies to VC and SA I would say.



Introducing GMA Booster

This is effectively an easy overclocking tool for a small range of Graphics Cards by Intel.

Please bear in Mind, I do not bear any responsibility if this does damage any Hardware, however, I seriously doubt it would harm anything.



How it starts: Intel make their Graphics chips, and for Netbooks etc, they think, hang on a minute, these do not need Graphics performance, and they need Battery Life, so they take the Graphics Card, and they underclock it, slowing it down, this effectively means that these cards can be more than doubled in speed without damaging them, as this is how they were designed.



This is specifically aimed at people with the Graphics Card 'Intel GMA 950.' Click on the Image to link to it's download page

  This download is aimed at people with the 'Intel GMA 950' Graphics card, the picture links you to its download location.



SAN ANDREAS ONLY BELOW

If you have a really slow PC, download the first link to low res mod, THEN the second.

Found the following Low Resolution Mod Packs for San Andreas on THIS topic, contains some instructions.

Standard Low Resolution Pack Link

If you have a very low FPS, download the above Mod Pack AND this one linked below for an even greater FPS Boost.

Lower Quality Particle.txd



It is relatively simple to understand, the performance boosts can vary, but every little helps eh?

Again, I take no responsibility for any Resultant Hardware/Computer damage, however unlikely it may be.

Overclocking laptops/notebooks is BAD...
They already almost overheat if you keep them on your warm lap for a while.

Laptop clock frequencies are low for a reason.
And that reason is not to save battery life..

I put down 'I am not responsible' However, this is actually perhaps the safest overclock you can do, as these cards only come factory underclocked to save battery life.

No you cannot, however, I believe the person who created this releases updates and new versions every so often, so maybe in the future there will be one.

Downloaded it and it insisted I download ALL their programs.

From there I actually tried using it and it LOST me 2FPS on my netbook, my solution gained me 10.

If you used the right mode, then sure you would get more FPS :lol:

Not worth it for like 2

Anyway, I play on a netbook, theres NO way that the Graphics Card would be improved a huge amount.
