See, I have a AM3+ motherboard, and currently a FX 6200 clocked at 4.2GHz, thing is, I feel when I try to play say BF3 on a 32 man server, My pc run's smooth, yet come to a 64 man server, My PC feels sluggish and well fails. Now I know Its going to effect my FPS and CPU usage with what settings in game am I running, well Ultra I don't use I mainly use a mix of medium and high, to Me its all about performance before eye candy, but BF3 seems to have no performance boost the lower I turn the settings down, I mean with one card I get 98-99% usage but in SLI I get 50% on each card with v sync disabled and on ultra I have even tried with settings on low and enabling v sync, lol that is just worse! I have been told the higher the settings, the higher the usage, and my cpu seems to be lagging behind.I know there is things to take into consideration like the Ram, Graphics, Hard drives, Lag ect, But I'm running two GTX 480's, 2 Velociraptor Hdd, 16GB Corsair Dominator Ram, a Corsair HX 1050w psu and Windows 8.Come January I'm planning a upgrade, but what My dilemma is should I move to Intel has I feel my issue is a major bottleneck with the 480's and my CPU, I don't want to buy a 200 cpu (8350) and a few months down the line have to invest in a Intel because the Pile driver has failed like the Bulldozer did! Or just upgrade to a Intel i5 or i7, I mainly game but do video work as well, even considering getting a i7 2600k or 2700k,
I bought a new laptop now and I am not so well with the technology it says: Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Management Engine Interface so what do I need to do now?
May I know can I disable Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Monitor & Intel® Management Engine Components or not? If I disable both of them will cause any bad effect?
just installed Windows 7 today! It looks great and functions really well, but I have a big problem that if I don't solve it I have to install Vista again. The problem is that all the USB inputs on the computer aren't working ... I can't use my mouse I can't use anything that connects with USB. In the Device Manager it tell me I have Code 19, which is a problem with the registry files. Can anyone please help me solve this problem? if not I have no choice and need to go back to Vista .
I have intel 845 GL/GV display card and i cant install its drivers on windows 7 or may not it supporting it so plz give me some idea to install the drivers.
I have an HP dv2890nr that was pre-installed with Windows Vista August 2008. I upgraded to Windows 7 today (finally successfully after using a flash drive, effin' Digital Rivers). Every time was nice and dandy until I realized Aero was not working. I checked out my graphics card, and it says Standard VGA Graphics Accelerator. I checked HP site, and there are NO updates for drivers. I checked Intel site, got the driver update .exe but it finishes with " Computer does not meet minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will Exit".
I recently installed an Intel X-25 M 120GB SSD in my VAIO SR290 notebook. The notebook has a Core2Duo T9600 cpu, 6 GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.Everything seems to be working fine, but the Intel Solid State Drive Toolbox app (version 2.01.00) is a bit flaky. Sometimes it won't "see" the SSD when I run it (I fire it up every week or so to run the TRIM function even though I shouldn't need to with Win 7). A reboot usually (but not always) fixes the issue.
I am currently thinking about overclocking my new processor. To be quite honest I am a little new to overclocking and just wanted to get a few questions answered before I decide to start.clocking from 4.0 GHz to 5.0 GHz. Is this feasible? My main concern is proper cooling and this is where it gets a little complicated, I do not want anything to do with liquid cooling (to be honest, the thought alone is unsettling). Are there any Air coolers that will fit my case (NZXT lexa s) and cool my processor enough to keep it stable at 5.0 GHz? Also, at idle my processor runs at about 12.7 C (around 55 F).
I have an Intel i5-2300 on a Asus P8P67 LE mobo, Corsair Vengeance 2x2GB 1333mhz memory and nVidia GeForce 250 gts.Build the computer myself along with an experienced friend about 5days ago, keep getting these annoying BSODs and have no idea why, tryed updating drivers, changing place on memory sticks etc.
Dont use Intel ethernet drivers if your adapter is working, Intel has still outdated 8.3.1.5 drivers on their page, stick with Windows 7 drivers for now 8.4.1.0.
i installed windows 7 build 7100 RC 32bit build on a desktop. Its a custom build pc so i don't have much info about it. I ran Intel chipset identification and go this:
I need to download the chipset driver. Can anyone help me please?
I have a standard vga graphics driver and it won't let me play a lot of games like WoW and etc. I have a Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Family Chipset I have tried to download the correct driver I need but all it does is load for like 10 minutes then it says Unknown error has occurred then it closes.
When I download the driver off the website it says it supports my chipset but when I look at the read me file that tells you what kind of chipset you need to install the driver mine isn't supported.
A new Intel driver for GMA 500 graphics has been released for the Sony Vaio P with noticeable improvements in video viewing, Aero performance (enables 3D acceleration) and web browsing. I have been advised that it Works only under Vista and Windows 7, no XP.
Apparently you have to install under Windows 7, use compatibility mode and select Vista as OS. Can someone please guide me on how to install using compatibility mode ?
So far I have installed all the drivers here but Im wondering if there are any more drivers I should be installing from this site.
The reason Im asking is because I have tried DriverMax and it reports that some of my drivers are out of date and need updating. I am loathe to use programs such as DriverMax to actually install drivers in case they get them wrong.
But its reporting the following as out of date:
Should I be concerned with this and try and locate the right drivers or just leave them as they are?
My computer has the ancient Intel GMA 900 videocard series. The 32 bit RC1 install includes the driver, and works fine. However when I tried installing 64 bit RC1, there wasn't any driver included and it showed up in device manager as "Standard VGA adapter". I've been looking around but the only 64 bit driver I found for this card only works for XP, and 7 refuses to install it. Any help?
i've had this new gtx 560 (previously had gt 240) I have seen a small fps increase in games such as Call of Duty Mw3, Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, and Team Fortress 2. However smaller games such as Payday the Heist, CSS and Magicka have increased a lot.What im asking is if I upgrade to a decent intel i3 or i5, will I see a big fps different.Also to mention in BF3, no matter how low the graphics are the resolution, i still remain with the same fps. I can play on high settings and low settings and see no fps difference. [code] I feel the fps i get at the moment is extremely low for a gtx 560 and i was worried that my q8300 was bottlenecking but when i upgraded I was not expecting to see such as huge bottleneck and low fps in games.
I would like to ask if anybody here can tell me if my Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz CPU is compatible with Windows 7. I've tried to register to the Intel community forums to ask there, but it's impossible, Maybe only to programmers/developers.
