[deluxecbk]

hey there ,

I get major low fps' when I play games

phenom II 965
4870 1gb
650W
m4a77td pro


When I play games I get super low FPS' and then...believe it or not... I have to run Speccy (www.piriform.com) in order to get my smoothness back.... why the hell!?!?!?

its been doing this recently for no apparent reason

any explanation about what Speccy fixes?? or what the actual problem is ??


thanks alot

His last post just sums up my thoughts and displays his wonderful attitude.

Topic has gone fairly off-track to be fair.....seems a fairly bespoke issue that without testing various things an answer/solution is unlikely to be found. As LEWZA suggested, a complete re-install is possibly the only test you can do to be certain if something on your system is causing the hiccups.

Then if you are so clever why are you not sorting your own problem eh?
SMARTASS!

I came here for help because I am obviously out of ideas

I didn't expect teenagers to jump in the thread with their non sense.

If all you can do is post useless benchmarks that are nowhere near being pertinent in the thread then you're no help.

Thanks to adrian and lewza , i'll try that tonight and see how things go.

You keep bringing up the benchmark thing that i had already said was appernt with the thread ages ago...

Your card is crap simple buy a new one.

damn man , another helpful comment , thanks!!


I keep bringing the benchmarks because that's all you can in this thread with and you kept on defending them.

this crap card , as you mentioned , ran my games fine before and now it doesn't. Can you help by figuring out why? or is you knowledge limited that all you can suggest is buy another one ?

Age is rather irrelevant. I'm only 20 myself, as is LEWZA..

 

[lewza]

Personally id reinstall windows and software, if problem persists its hardware.

Because I am here moderating this silly thread which at no point should have escalated into this mess... (btw my curiosity is what kept this thread for closure)....

I'll put in my two cents.

Speccy likely does not improve anything. It may be blocking a resource that is using up cycles on your system however. I'd start with this knowledge and run an application called processmon.exe Its from the microsoft systernals suite.

This tool will show you whats running, resources and files in use related to each process and hopefully pinpoint something taking more resources than needed. It may also show virus/spyware issues if they are problematic in their resource usage.

on anther note: without specy I'd still check to see if the CPU (while the game is running) is not being down clocked. Even with Cool'n'quite disabled, I have seen where it really isn't disabled.

Also check power settings - make sure its not set to balanced. Speccy may be pushing the CPU to its rated speed, thus giving you the performance you expect. - Try updating the bios just in case Cool'n'quite is part of the problem.

It is irrevelant. Considering the fact he is 21 and is acting like a kid.

I've been expressing my satisfaction to you and lewza as you've been on track and trying to actually solve the issue.

Is this tool as reliable as running performance monitor built into windows? Or does it do more or less the same thing?

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

It shows more then the built in performance monitor. IF you find the tool useful - that will depend on your knowledge and ability to use the tool effectively. Its pretty straight forward though, but if you have any questions just ask.
