hi
Ive been trying to play a range of oldish (cod2) to newish (cod4,5) and the fps in them are crap! Im wondering if thats due to the onboard Nvidia GeForce 7025 graphics, or the 2gb of ram for win7 + games.
thanks
btw my pc spec is my signature!
Because of the onboard gpu (atleast in new games)
and if I read correctly then your ram is 267mhz? - thats a bit to slow for todays games!!
If youre planing to upgrade then I suggest you get a decent Graphic Card (nvidia 9somethin ot maybe 200 series card -- If your psu supports it!! ) and if youre at low fps then then upgrade to a faster ram, 2gb is enough!!
I got a Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 OC'd from 2.4 to 3.5ghz ; 4gb of Kingston 800mhz ram and a Nvidia GF8800GTS 640mb gpu on a Asus Striker II Formula (got it for the guaranty cuz my Asus Striker burned)-- and mostly I can play all new games on MAX spec except, of course CRYSIS
Thats weird, they play fine on my Fuze... Maybe change ROMS?
HAHAHAHA
update
the ram is pc6400 at 1607mhz
btw my computer is 50 days old today! Everything is brand new as of the 26 july 2009
then its 100% onboard gpu fault!!!
get nvidia card with hybrid power so you can use your onboard gpu and your GPU when needed!!!
write your PSU specs and Ill write some gpu's which will work with hybrid power and your psu will support the wattage!!
the psu is a colours it! 550w. And i was thinking of getting an XFX GeForce 9600GT XXX AlphaDog Edition which it £80-£90. What du think?
what are the fps ?
because if vsync is on you will only get as many fps as hz your screen refresh with
with is anyway the max fps people can ever get visually
but there are alot! of myths about this stuff
but buttom line is your screen refresh with a sudden hz and that mean thats
the number of times a second it draws the screen so
even if turning vsync off mean it will report much more fps it don't mean that your screen is displaying those fps
i dont know how to check fps in cod4 du no?
And whats vsync?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_synchronization
basically that the backbuffer is not blittered to the frontbuffer before
the frontbuffer is don't being drawn on the screen
about cod4 sorry never played any of those games
My fps in cod4 is 3!
How do i get that up?

Get a new GPU!!!!
and the 9600GT will do !!! it will work on the 550 W psu!!!
I have a 8800GTS 640 (eats more electricity and its on a 480W )
have you tried to set everything on min specs in video options(ingame) ?
yes i have set everything minimum. But still no luck!
I have decided to get a zotac GF 9800GT
Will that work
I will have to wait until i get some money cause im only 13! Might get it for crimbo!

save up some!!! Im 15 years old (almost 16) I have Touch HD (100% mine , bought for my money) - worked for it !!
sounds almost like you're using a generic vga driver rather then the real driver for the video card even if it's an onboard gpu
Yeah but i have installed the correct nvidia vga drivers. It might be a good idea to reinstall.
thx
hi again
i reinstalled the drivers to the latest version and set all the settings on cod to low.
BTW what is SLi and can i use it on an N68-S ASRock board
thx
Please don't get the 9800, although it is a powerfull card, if you get Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E Graphics Card £83.40 its will destroy the 9800 in any game, as for SLI i really wouldnt bother unless your monitor is 1920x1080 and your not getting a high (50+ constant) FPS. Also the 4850 will have no issues with your motherboard or Power supply.
yep i have the 4850 and it beats the crap out of all others in that price range,,,although it's not sapphire....but powercolor works fine too
I did a test on my LG Optimus 2X (P990) using 2 independent software
that I downloaded from Android Market.
The SW used is: Elixir and Phone Tester.
The result on both tests showed like this:
Total RAM: 372 MB
Free: 132 MB
Memory Limit 32 MB
Threshold 12 MB
Max Memory for VM 32 MB
But the specs for this phone show - Total RAM size to be 512 MB.
See GSM Arena Website: 512 MB RAM
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_2x-3598.php
Where is the remaining 140 MB ?..Why is it missing ?
Please, does anyone here know the reason or explanation for this ?
Thank you.
it's used by the gpu.

128 MB is used by GPU
384 MB is available for user
128 + 384 = 512

This tutorial is for anyone who wanted this phone for gaming. You will get buttery smooth gaming performance compared to the latest jellybean. NO JOKE!
1. Download v10a.kdz
2. Flash it
3. (Optional but recommended)Get gamebooster 2 and put it on "Hard gaming" or "Ultra gaming" and the extra ram tweak
Please note that v10a has appalling battery life so only use if you're desperately wanting to play games. Battery life can be brought back to normal by restricting the cpu with lg gearbox
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Basically v10a was like the one x first rom, not enough thermal control. Great for gaming, bad for battery and your thumbs comfort (BURN!). The control is there, but its so subtle you wouldn't notice. I'm surprised hardly anyone knew how well v10a performs. When I have time I will post the throttling values to see how they differ with more recent roms.
Update: There are no throttling values
Games tested:
GTA VC-Smooth as silk
Spiderman-1.1.7 playable, 1.1.4 is smooth
Need for speed MW- As always this game is badly optimized but its a lot less noticeable, just slight slow motion at the road blocks
Dead trigger- Minor hickup at game start but overall higher frameratr
Contract Killer 2- No more stutters when shooting
Gangstar rio: Exactly the same, just a glitchy update
Block story: smooth unless draw distance is increased

I can play Real Racing 3 (Medium Settings) and Vice City with V20A, not so smooth, but you can play. I think everything will be fixed with other updates or XDA developers will do that, if you can play without problems with V10A.

There are no throttle tables in v10a, so even though theres a throttle value in tegra_thermal I don't think its doing anything.

The thing is - the apps are not optimized for quad-cores.
Using LG Gearbox and limiting to one core will do the trick for most games, but Gearbox won't work for JB 4.1.2.
what about battery ? at least one day ? ( i mean, charge, overnight, at day some games and evening charge again)

This is true for ea games. Thing is gamelofts optimization isn't that bad, most play smooth on one x, I would say this is on par with one x stock rom

I recently bought an tablet in China for only 70 euros, its so smooth and battery is great (RockChip 3066, dual core @1.6ghz and quad core Mali-400 GPU) and it runs games better then my phone.. that sucks, my phone also needs to be factory reset and reinstall the backup when i charge it from 0 to 100% in off-mode (WTF!?) I kinda want an other phone, but i guess im still stuck to it for 1.5 more years..
(Unless AOKP releases.. best rom ever on legendary HTC HD2.)

Your phone is wierd. If youre desperate for games try this rom. After further testing I find the battery isn't too bad afterall.€70 Is pretty good for those specs, I'm considering a kindle fire at some point this year, good cheap tablet in the UK

I'm playing just two games. Real Racing 3 have an app in Play Store to change graphics settings without root very easy (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), so you don't need LG Gearbox to run game at Medium, and Vice City have Visual Effects settings (Low, Medium, High, Max). Bottom line? I don't need Gearbox for now to trick games I have just one core.
Hi, i also change graphics for RR3 (via app on play store, and triey manual way too) but always I have problem run game offline - Needs download 1MB ... so game after change graphics dont work offline, only online ... how solve it ?

I'm not sure if that sort of links is allowed as well, but it's OT on a thread about settings for hardcore gamers on the LG 4X...

After seeing a goclever tab (rebranded chinese tab) brick itself for no apparent reason and no way to recover I will stick to brands I know. And yes, stay on topic
