If you have no input lag with RenderAheadLimit=2 you should keep it or try RenderAheadLimit=0 to revert to drivers default value of 3 for even more smoothness. If you experiment input lag you should try RenderAheadLimit=0 and changing default NVIDIA Control Panel Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames value to 0 too. AMD users have to use ATI Tray Tools or RadeonPro to edit hidden Flip Queue Size value to 0. Expect increased choppiness with no render ahead at all.
Von Dach one question about TweakNow RegCleaner 2011. Is it safe to delete the unsafe entries from registry that TweakNow detects? Or it's only safe to delete the safe entries/problems?
I'm wondering what the registry tweak "SystemResponsiveness" on 0 does. I've always had some kind of feeling that Windows 7 (even though my framerate is fine, if not better then on XP), feels slightly "sluggish".
@Von Dach Defrag: 'UltimateDefrag' to be a bit hardcore. I'd look at 'Auslogics' creations. Does the job in seconds compared to any other defrag. W7-SP1: btw, there seems to be advantage over 'Windows 7 - Service Pack 1' over audio sampling. The new fixes they have now implemented seems to enable REALLY low level initialization and this means when we used to see error messages over games like 'IWN' 'BG' etc old gaming we now can clean launch them and they will work straight out of box like on Windows XP systems or older Windows 98. However, this apply's ONLY, if you got 1 audio card in box. Meaning for example AMD cards has 1 audio(HDMI) + usually Motherboard has 1 audio. So, either of these needs to go in effect to make it work. (I am not sure would an device manager disable be simply enough, but I do know when utilizing AMD audio alone it will work in incredibly amount of old applications and games we have). (Also should be noted that some of the first page diagnostic tasks which are disabled 'like the reliability "manager"' will not enable detection of when the new audio is needed by older application and so the application will fail because of these as otherwise the diagnostics would of issue the correction for next launch.) WinSAT [SP1]: There is an change to earlier concept of 'clean' the SP1 corrects the detection of amount of read not to be unlocked, but better stable with command: Code: Winsat formal -restart never It is still affect as before, but in new one it can also read 'previous states' and, if an previous state is higher than new state the retest is issued differently while old results are at the system. The 'clean' command still apply when switching from something like Catalyst v10.12 -> v11.xx driver versions on NVIDIA side this has no affect unless coming from 19x.xx series of drivers to 2xx.xx series of drivers. As in these versions the feature tests are required to be redone. Turn off Remote Differential Compression [SP1]: This no longer apply the differential hash checking has improved so much and current hardware handles it really well. This actually reduces the lag while it's in system. Microsoft Media Player - Disable the Sharing for good: Code: REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME" /v "DisableDiscovery" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f This would completely disable the sharing service. Removing the key would enable it. (also possible by gpedit, but that's bad advice since not all editions of Windows vista/7 comes with these tools.) Clean-up: There is an new separated cleanup on my topic of Catalyst driver. It still does do a lot better result than old v3.91 and it has corrected the issues previously mentioned. Should not be used prior to SP1 installation, but if done part by part and legacy is skipped can be done prior to SP1 install. However the 'Automated' selection does do legacy drivers also. This clean-up can be run in any state of machine. Even drivers installed including NVIDIA or ATI/AMD. Let's do a little networking: IPv6-Throughput protocols: Disable: you do not fully disable IPv6 and/or HTTP Throughput protocols by simply unchecking the 'IPv6' on connection properties. You do following 'ipv6-tunneling-disable.cmd' and enable script OR simply paste these to Command Prompt with Admin rights: Code: netsh interface teredo set state disable netsh interface 6to4 set state disable disable netsh interface isatap set state disable REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters" /v "EnableICSIPv6" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters" /v "DisabledComponents" /t REG_DWORD /d 255 /f and then disable the IPv6 on Connection properties. After reboot this your device manager will show yellow protocols which just means they are unfunctional these devices can be disabled, if you want will do no harm except in scenario that you want IPv6 back you have to reenable them before enabling the Tunneling protocols back. Extra notes: 'Client for Microsoft Networks' is not required to anything, but it also disabled some component at login which seems to keep connection mode stable. Enable back: Code: netsh interface teredo set state default netsh interface 6to4 set state default default netsh interface isatap set state enable REG DELETE "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters" /v "EnableICSIPv6" /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters" /v "DisabledComponents" /f reenable IF disabled device manager services/devices and reboot the machine. New windows Vista/7 network tweaking over netsh: The TCP window size limitation is questionable. concept: netsh int tcp set heuristics (controls weither Microsoft regulates the connection and below 'autotuninglevel' cannot be applied unless heuristics are disabled.

Options: Enable/Disable) --- I think that's ok update for now. See, when we get new features up and running better (hopefully damn soon) we get some little better tweaks for current generation systems. Sad fact is that Windows Vista/7 core itself is so damn bad that it's almost no worth to optimize as we all know the basement is rotten as hell doesn't make much sense to try to find link for improve stability which surface is just a scratch of issues.
DiskTrix' manual file placement floats my boat, especially when combined with Diskeeper's I-FAAST feature.
absolute no. Diskkeeper developed exactly 1 good feature and that is the OLD OLD version of diskkeeper '709 [Last existing build][manual metadata]' ^ This is the only diskkeeper which is ideal and only for metadata patching. Not to defrag, if paid software is usable Perfect Disk is only solution to go, but even on this kind of thinking 'Auslogics' defrag will do 10 times faster exact same result when you have free 'Perfect Disk' run ones the system root data to start of the system and they are developign 'optimize system files' feature in auslogics so soon all these defragment utilities are unnessessary comparing to auslogics. The do have 1 mistake and that is 'dynamic drives' and these will still require Perfect Disk or other solution. As what goes to 'DiskTrix' Well UltimateDefrag is one of the only defragmention software which I do respect for the ideas they had of manual styles defragmention and used decision over how to defrag and I have to say they are really good, but NOW as in 2011 we have 10 times faster and 'Raxco' has gone way beyond levels almost catching up what O&O Software began very long time ago (which again usually under offline data corrupts partitions I might add but the API they used was really good looking). As for System files I could even use 'rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks'-command scheduled alone when I am not on computer instead of any of these paid softwares. That would be because current software we have is relaying that not all is processed through it, but by the system. Same as game developer saying 'we don't need to build that as users never sees it'. However, idea there is actually better than what we use even with the jump on DPC as result is cleaner, but then again quality against speed is never good to be compared. :bang:
Well, I think all of the features in Diskeeper 2010 are truly amazing lol. For starters, I'm very fond of InvisiTasking because it makes the program run completely invisible. I've experienced no visible performance loss, ever. Secondly, I can't imagine life without IntelliWrite. Quite frankly, even with write caching enabled, copying multiple large files all at the same time onto a single harddrive used to be a real pain in the rear before I started using Diskeeper. Thirdly, automatic defrag always starts to defrag my files as soon as possible, no hesitation whatsoever. Once again, it does so without ever slowing the system down (I used to be extremely sceptical about this myself but now I feel like a noob for not having tried it a little sooner than I could have). Fourthly, I-FAAST optimizes my file placement for me whenever I don't have the time nor patience to manually place my files using UltimateDefrag. And finally, HyperFast is useful especially when running two SSDs in RAID 0 due to the absence of TRIM in RAID.
It's just opinion and what I've checked the diskkeeper software was in my eyes totally worthless after that specific mentioned build. The background tasking is actually really conditional depending what you do. There's really bad scenarios there and it works flawless for 'regular user' basis. If I say that word 'automatic' is something that doesn't belong to computer world. Would most likely also explain my dislike to these ideas, but then again on diskkeeper case it's not exactly true as diskkeeper background service actually works incredible good. My point was on there what is needed, what would be fast scenario in system with no extra services installed and do the job for ideal performance out of OS. On SSD cases this doesn't even matter defragmenting is more to harm hardware than speed it up, but indexing the SSD is another case.
Yes it's ALL safe. I do it almost everyday. You don't have double standard, double system (level) of prioritization. 0= 10%, you can't give MMCSS all cpu power, 10% is kept for background tasks. If you disable MMCSS, 100% cpu can be given to who you want. "sluggish": disable Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service, it feel a lot less sluggish. Thanks for the head-on on Diskeeper!

Like I said, I have yet to encounter a bad scenario with ver. 2010 but maybe that's because I happen to be a regular user of J2EE server technology and a trained IT specialist. :nerd: I more than love automatic stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to become an IT person in the first place I guess. lol Yeah, I also wish MS had thrown in the full version of Diskeeper 2010 EnterpriseServer into my Windows 7 Ultimate but the anti-trust organizations would have been no doubt furious about that so I'll thank some kind of spiritual entity for the extra services. The purpose of HyperFast is not to defrag an SSD but to optimize it instead, in such way that the life expectancy of the SSD is prolonged rather than harmed.
and as an IT specialist you actually consider the diskkeeper ? What I mean is that it keeps the system in very good shape, but it also shapes the performance of every execution. No, as an IT specialist you should really be looking solid defragmention and slow fragmention as an solution and go on ward from there to have an balance 1 time check MFT size exact double of disk usage to the 1 time pass PER bad boot (meaning BSOD or such power downs) and dedicate the usage data to fastest space through restrictions and none movable/lock down this data. As for servers DBs should always resident over locked space with pre-allocated space anyway and yes this includes SSDs. They did, it runs on every 3 days. although, not made by diskkeeper, but microsoft internal optimization itself. It's not an ideal, but you could utilize the defrag tools I mentioned to use it to even faster idea than DK would ever do. As in detecting the prefetchers -> data actually accessed -> locate the space for this data on first space with folder ordering so single load pass would be contiquous always. There is no way to optimize an SSD. The whole idea of SSD is bad as long the speed is degraded under data in place. -> check for yourself and you'll find a lot on 'huss huss subjects' by manufacturers, heh. They usually like to keep quiet when their advertised 600MB/s SATA3 hardware maximum throughput in relaity is 100MB/s which is 3 times slower than any regular SATA device. ;P -edit- Hmm, reading my own text here a bit and above. Seems I am fighting against diskkeeper. So, don't get me wrong I got nothing against the diskkeeper. Just after personal testing of the software I've come to other conclusions why not recommend the software, but up to 1 version from the past and that there is really good other solutions which in the end might work equal or better.
Sure! Detailled answer: Simplicity is beautiful No really, google about MMCSS if you want more, I give hints about what may improve performance/reduce issues, free to you to try it or not.
does this concern PB only games or games in general?? well it happened to me but only with valve's TeamFortress2.. its fine in COD4,5 (both PB)
