Framerate programs
« on: January 23, 2010, 01:15:01 PM »
Does anyone know any programs that will make your frame rate go higher and eliminates the unwanted programs that eats your framerate up.

FSAUTOSTART will cut out the programs running in the background but it's not a cure all for FR issues.

Frame rate has alot to do with your amount of Memory you have and what Video card your using also closing certian programs but like that abover poster said that's not the cure, Memory & Video Card , i run 8 gigs DDR3 1066 memory and twin SLI'd XFX 260 GTX 896DDr2 memory VideoCards i dont worry about frame rates 210 in furrball , but you dont need what i have to play this game i also use mine for 3D Cad and othe home design programs. any card with at least 1gig memory built on will rock the game very good, and no less than 2 to 3 gigs memory  :aok

"260 GTX 896DDr2 memory VideoCards"

GTX 260's use GDDR3 memory. :P   Or at least mine does.


If I remember right, GrnEagle, you mentioned having on-board Video.  You're gonna have troubles getting much in the way of good frame-rates anyways if that's true.  Just be sure to run really low settings (256 texture, no AA, 1/4 sliders or so, only Bump-map option selected in Advanced).

One thing to do to help Frame-rates, and overall system speed is to open "Msconfig" (Start>run>msconfig) and go to the "Start-up" and "Services" tab and unselect anything you know you can safely turn off.  Most computers will end up having a bunch of things start-up that aren't needed like "CTSched" I think is one on mine, it's a Creative Registration reminder and is un-needed.  If you use the Msconfig way, Google everything before you turn it off, and check multiple sites since some will say everything out there is spyware/malware/trojan (clearly a lie).  The thing with most gamebooster type things (Only used a few so I can't be sure of them all) is that once you're done gaming it re-opens the programs, even the ones you never use and with MSconfig you can turn them off permanently until you need them.  Again, Only turn off things you know are safe to turn off as some things when turned off can cause the computer to not function properly,

Do keep in mind, 512MB memory modules run faster in lower-end video cards (8800GTX+, 9800GTX+, GTS250, etc...).
