shd Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sup folks... I have a situation here, and I want to see if I could get any help... I have an Core 2 Duo 2.0 with 4 gb RAM and a GeForce 8400 GS 256mb 64 bits and my Warcraft 3 on OSx have lower performance than Windows Vista (32 bits (3 gb RAM)) and I wanna know if I can get a better driver or something... This thread is worthless without pics =p Windows Vista OsX86 (Kalyway 10.5.2) with default nvidia driver (256mb) ----------------------------------------- Edit 26/09/2008 I've discovered what makes the performance of the board increase.. When system go to sleep mode, and back, the performance increase considerably... 3x better then before... I'm currently using the NVkust driver and no idea why this issue happens... Anybody can fix it? =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shd Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 GOD DAMNIT! yesterday I did something here and fps were to 140 with everything on high on 1440x900 now they are back to 50 on 1024x600 and I don't know why =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobb1x Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 i have a similar gfx card and i think too it is slower than on Vista, i could be wrong but i think about a 30% slower. i have read too something about tweaking, don't remember where, but it was about beam, and i could be wrong again, but it seem to me it was related to open GL performances only.

shd Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 i just get 140 fps again and i dont know why... didnt do nothing... then restart and back to the same {censored} =/ its possible to see the change on the performance by opening something as grid in dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 This issue was reported since 10.5.2 No need to sleep the whole system, you can make just the display sleep for less than a second and you gain performace. With the latest 10.5.5 update I have from 40~80 FPS (before Display Sleep) to 800 FPS (after Display Sleep)on the OpenGL Extensions Viewer tests. With previous kexts the max FPS were 400. You can set a hot corner to make the Display to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I dont know if is the same, my Geforce has 128MB and the Device ID is 0x0427. Maybe because the screen size could be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that ??? "sleep and then faster " a problem of a lot / all GFes, also 8XXX Models ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I dont think so, My 6600 and 9800GTX don't have it, and I read that 8600 and 8800 also haven't that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the screen size could be different. now im curious how do you get 800fps on the opengl extensions viewer? my board has 256mb, but has the same id as yours and what i get is, after the sleep, 400fps +- in all tests, except the 2.1 that goes to 55 fps =/ im currently using the NVkush driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Before 10.5.5 I also have ~400 fps (updated to 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3. and 10.5.4 when each update was released). What I did is a fresh 10.5 install, then update to 10.5.4 with combo update, then to 10.5.5 with delta update, but even after 10.5.4 (combo update) I got ~800 fps. So I guess updating directly to latest did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shd Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 what i did was install kalyway 10.5.2 and install directly the 10.5.5 combo.. just that.... what driver do you use? inject? kush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 NVinject 0.2.2 from XDarwin installer. Kalyway, iAtkos or others could have a lot of modded kexts. Best bet is a Retail Installation (DFE boot-132 is the best way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shd Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 i'll try install nvinject 0.2.2 just to see it how it goes... btw, do you know what exactly i have to delete to remove completely nvkush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
