prevent frame rate shutter with out turning graphics down.

[olds442]

ok so with FULL AA in aces high and grass on. you get frame rate shutter. meaning that you run out of Vram and it uses the harddrive as extra ram. droping a frame rate of say 60 to about 4 until the vram catches back up. well i think Ive found a solution.

OK first turn AA ALL the way to none in aces high.
now quit aces high and download a thing called gameboster 3. it ends processes your not using or don't need improving frame rate alot.
now go in (ATI only idk about nivida) AMD vison and click 3d application settings.
now look for Anti-Aliasing. uncheck the box that says "use application settings" and then pull the slider all the way to the right or 8X(or in the middle 4X AA if your still getting problems)
Ive found this takes away all frame rate shutter in game. and yet no graphics are lost

why not just get rid of processes you dont need to begin with. this website is highly rated for helping you get rid of unnecessary processes permanently http://www.blackviper.com/.

as for gamebooster.  their parent company has been caught stealing virus definitions from other sources.  based on that I dont trust it, I also had it and when i uninstalled it, it game me so many problems i had to reinstall my os.

besides why add processes to lower the number of processes?  that's what gameboster does.  it will add 2 or 3 processes to lower the number of processes you can do on your own. so cut out the middle man.

I really don't recommend using game booster either, you're better off going to BlackViper like semp suggested and disabling the processes manually.

A system that is tuned and tweaked properly should not require a program like game booster to free up resources.

Gamebooster is easy to use, no need to know anything in computers for it to be efficient. And If you use your computer for other things than aces high you might don't want those processes to be gone forever! Windows 7 x64 going down to 44 processes with a couple a clicks is not too bad

problem with any other program it takes a while to figure out what you need and dont need. game booster also has a video recorder that is pretty good.

I agree with the others about Iobit. They've been caught, more then once, stealing other companies code. Just recently they took their 'Toolbox' util off their site, and I'm hearing it's because they got caught stealing reg cleaning code from another company. Not a company you wanna trust...

Blackviper is an excellent site. Been using it for years. You can select your o/s pick which services you want disabled, etc, etc, and then the site will create a batch file to do the implementation, and another to restore the system to it's defaults. Simple.

If you want to try a game booster util, then try Jetboost. You can also do a search and find a few other game boost utils that are freely available.

Wow! Several years ago I asked if someone could code a batch file for this purpose and I was told about FS-Autostart, the predecessor of AlacrityPC. Blackviper sure knows how to serve his non-paying customers. The batch file certainly must be the most lightweight tool for the task, since it doesn't run anything in the background.

Thanks for the information.

I cringe every time someone mentions they use gamebooster.

Ditto. I've found simply turning off readyboost and superfetch has increased performance.

will windows Aero damper ingame performance? I've read a few benchmarks that indicated it didn't influence anything.

[Skuzzy]

Aero can impact performance as it reserves a portion of video RAM for its own use.  If the video card is running tight on resources, Aero can impact those resources further.

i've seen a good number of instances where aero caused stuttering and other issues in another mmo game. ya just never know.

And with that advice, thanks but NO thanks.

It's easy to make an option to turn AERO on and off.  I found a method that works great at the following website:

Started with black viper then installed gamebooster
I ran it once to see what it disabled wrote list down deleted gamebooster and manually stop the processes each time before gameplay
