How does Win7 improve graphics performance? Ways to improve graphics performance

  
                

We play games on Win7 computers and sometimes feel very card. It may be because the performance of the CPU or the graphics card is not good, so that the game will feel the card. How to improve your graphics performance? Next, let's take a look at the way Win7 improves the performance of the graphics card with Xiaobian!

The steps are as follows:

Experience platform: A8 3870K processor, Kyushu Fengshen Black Jade Extreme Radiator, Minghao A75 motherboard, Soyo GTX550Ti Dragon Graphics, Kingston 2G DDR3 1333 (overclocked 1600) , Seagate 1TB hard drive, Onda 400W power supply, etc.:

One of the tricks, physical acceleration, the game is more than 4 times better!

Physical Acceleration is a technology that NVIDIA uses to accelerate system performance with graphics cards. NVIDIA's physics acceleration (PhysX) is now widely used in games and other aspects. Especially in the game, more applications, such as "Batman: Arkham Asylum", "Dark Day", "The Edge of the Mirror", "Iron Armor", "JX3", "Famous Dance", etc. Wait. Support for physics-accelerated games, turn physical acceleration on and off, and the game runs very differently. The GTX550Ti graphics card relies on 192 stream processor units and high frequency power, and its physical acceleration performance is even stronger. Run "Iron Armor", before and after the physical acceleration, the game FPS is 15.7 and 83 frames respectively, open the physical acceleration, the game performance has increased to 4.3 times!

Open physics acceleration is very simple, there are special & ldquo in the graphics card control panel; set up PhysX configuration & rdquo; option, the default is automatically selected, choose your graphics card, you force the system to use the graphics in the game physically accelerated (PhysX):

Physical acceleration, used to be a patent of NVIDIA, is now widely used. However, the method of application is different and the effect is different. In some games, physics acceleration can improve game performance by a factor of ten, while most games do not see boost. This is because many support the physical speed of the game, just install the PhysX drivers, the game will automatically call PhysX driver, open without opening physics acceleration effects are the same. Gamers know that most large 3D games cannot be played without the PhysX driver, which fully demonstrates the importance of physics acceleration for graphics cards.

The second trick, graphics card CUDA acceleration, performance doubled!

The CUDA technology developed by NVIDIA's parallel computing architecture utilizes the parallel processing power of the GPU to dramatically improve the system's scientific computing performance. The stronger graphics performance, CUDA accelerated the better. CUDA technology is now widely used in all aspects. And with daily use the most is video transcoding. Currently, most video transcoding software support CUDA acceleration technology, MediaCoder is one of them. Open MediaCoder CUDA transcoding is very simple, as long as the sections in a video encoder clicking the GPU, the software will automatically detect graphics acceleration. Through the GTX550Ti graphics card CUDA transcoding test, before and after CUDA acceleration, transcoding 134M AVI video, the time is 61 seconds and 18 seconds, CUDA acceleration makes the transcoding speed increase by 2.4 times!

Video transcoding is now part of the daily application of many users, and transcoding speed is very important. The graphics card CUDA transcoding technology can double the transcoding speed and provide great convenience for the majority of users. Moreover, the graphics card CUDA transcoding does not require the harsh conditions like the Intel Core processor transcoding, as long as it is an N card.

The third trick, update driver, graphics card game performance soared nearly 20%!

The new listing of the graphics card, the driver is not perfect, the manufacturer will gradually improve in the future. Therefore, updating the graphics driver generally improves system performance. However, it is often seen that many friends update the driver is not unable to install, it has no effect. In fact, to update the graphics driver, first of all, it is best to uninstall the old graphics driver, then use the system cleaning tool to clean up the garbage and registry, and finally restart the computer before installing a new driver. In this way, as long as the driver is suitable for your graphics card and system, you can certainly install it.

As for the effect, it depends on your graphics card and driver. If the graphics card is a few years ago, and the manufacturer has already updated, the new driver is only the function of updating the graphics card after the replacement. Updating such a driver has no obvious improvement for the old graphics card. In addition, the graphics card driver is updated frequently, the driver difference is not big, and there will be no obvious effect.

The Metster GTX550Ti 枭 显 graphics card in the experience platform, the original driver is 285.62, the current latest driver is 296.10. Not only is the graphics card the latest product, but the driver versions are very different, and the performance of the graphics card after the update is very obvious.

Using 3DMark Vantage test, the score of the graphics card increased from the original 10012 points to 10273 points, an increase of 2.6% (this article compares the data in the "hands to bring you GTX550Ti enhanced graphics card tutorial, package you a key overclocked G" There is a text, no longer on the map):

Each driver version upgrade, there will be instructions, the user can follow the instructions to see if you need to update the driver. The new version of the driver, which can improve the performance of "Dust 3", "Battlefield 3" and other games. The actual test also showed that after upgrading the graphics driver, "Dust 3" increased from 91 frames to 103 frames, "Battlefield 3" increased from 67 to 80 frames, which increased by 13.2% and 19.4% respectively:

See if the update driver has a noticeable effect on other games. Among them, "Lost Planet 2" increased from 51.7 frames to 53.6 frames, "Devil May Cry 4" rose from 156 frames to 163.5 frames, and the two games increased by 3.7% and 4.8% respectively. It can be seen that there is an improvement in the games that are not indicated, but there is no increase in the number of games that are indicated:

The above four game tests have improved performance after updating the driver, with an average increase of 9.4. %. Therefore, the update driver has a significant effect on improving game performance:

The fourth trick, the new driver overclocking is better, the game is improved by nearly 30%!

It's a well-known fact that overclocking performance is enhanced by graphics cards, and it's a method that many players often use. In the article "Hands with you to create a GTX550Ti enhanced graphics card, package you a key overclocking G", through a simple one-button overclocking, Soyo GTX550Ti 枭 显 显 显 显 显 超 超 显 900 900 显 显 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 900 And 2206MHz. Benchmark test, graphics performance increased by 11%, game performance increased by 14.4%, the maximum increase reached 24.2%, which shows the performance of overclocking performance of the graphics card.

After the graphics card driver is updated, not only the performance of the graphics card is improved, but also the overclocking performance is better. Under the power, the one-button overclocking core frequency increased from the original 1.03GHz to 1.35GHz. At the same frequency, the benchmark test, 3DMark Vantage graphics card score reached 11,485 points, an increase of 3.3% over the original overclocking score of 11,114 points, an increase of 14.7% than the default 10012 points:

After the new version of the driver overclocking, Game performance has increased even more. "Dust 3" increased from 113 frames to 125 frames, and the new driver increased by 10.6%, which is 37.4% higher than the default 91 frames. "Battlefield 3" increased from 78 frames to 95 frames, the new driver increased by 21.8%, 41.8% higher than the default 67 frames:

Similarly, "Lost Planet 2" increased from 58 to 61.4 frames, the new driver Increased by 5.9%, also increased by 18.8% compared to the default 51.7 frames; "Devil May Cry 4" increased from 179 to 182 frames, the new driver increased by 1.7%, and the default 156 frames increased by 16.7%:

Although the four games have different upgrades, they all have obvious improvements. Take a look at the average boost: After the new driver overclocks, the game will increase by 8.3% compared to the original driver overclocking, which is 26.7% higher than the original driver default state, which is close to 30%:

From the above experience, the graphics card can pass. A variety of different ways to improve performance. From overclocking upgrades and update drivers to two to three percent, to physical acceleration and CUDA acceleration two to four times, four methods can significantly improve graphics performance. From the experience process, it is also proved that these four methods are easy to use and are not restricted by the system platform, and can be used by ordinary users. Such a free lunch, you don't want to try it?
