versnelt de videochip (overklokken)

[Verwijderd]

Aha, en wat is het nut hiervan om het hier neer te zetten?

[Verwijderd]

Eh, verkeerde subfora en het is overigens voor Intel chipset met integrated video alleen:

... the world's first and only perfomance boost solution for Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator series (currently supported chipsets: Intel® 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE and 943/940GML/GU Express featuring GMA 950).

Alhoewel het een beetje neergeplempt is ... is het best een leuk stukje voor GMA users.

Q.: 2.4x boost without adjusting the voltage (right, Your hardware will not be exposed in any way!), how is it possible?
A.: A short preamble is needed to explain what makes a GMABooster technology possible. Let's consider an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA 950). This integrated solution, while not fully supporting the latest and the most demanding games, still allows a user to enjoy the mass of brilliant gaming hits of all genres. GMA 950 does also fully support Aero and QuartzGL (enhanced GPU-driven user interfaces of Windows® Vista and Mac® OS X). It features a basic video playback acceleration, as well. However, if You have own a laptop/netbook/nettop computer built on Intel® 945GM/GME/GMS or GSE943/940GML/GU Express chipset, the above statements may not be truth for You. These all chipsets are LV (low voltage) versions of what we normally call Intel® 945. Thus, integrated graphics core has been underclocked dramatically: 166/133 MHz instead of 400 MHz (default GMA clock in a "normal" Intel® 945 chipset). But the truth is, the indicated devices could handle up to 400 MHz with ease: at a nominal low voltage, without the loss of system stability, and with minimal to none impact on thermal specifications/battery life (proven by preliminary testing). Here the GMABooster comes! It allows a user, not a manufacturer to choose the desired GMA speed. It combines a sophisticated assembler-level technology and the user-friendly graphic user interface, offering You to near double the GMA core perfomance without even a need to restart a computer. GMABooster may be considered as a safe, free, "software-level" GPU core upgrade!

Q.: The boost in game "X" is about 25%, while in pure GPU tests (like 3DMark® '05/'06 Pixel Shader or Texturing tests) I see a whopping perfomance increase, just as expected (I mean, as might be predicted with calculator) - up to 2.4x! Why is it so?
A.: In some real games or benchmarks the so alluring boost may be *quite limited* either by CPU (most of supported devices come with Intel® Atom which is typically 1/2 of already low-end Celeron M which runs at a same clock) or a by shared RAM speed (this is just a single-channel DDR2 533 shared with CPU). Furthermore, even if the CPU load is not 100% during the specific 3D test, this is not because the Atom is powerful enough, but because RAM bandwidth is so much utilized by GMA that CPU is not receiving enough data to process. In any case, GMABooster does its work, and there are simply no other methods to get at least that kind of boost (e.g. 25% in WoW, as reported by users).

Q.: On my laptop (built on Intel® 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE or 943/940GML/GU Express chipset) a popular diagnostic utility GPU-Z reports that I already have GMA 950 running at a speed of 400 MHz. Do I still need the GMABooster?
A.: Well, GPU-Z detects GMA 950, but does not read its actual clock. This is a known issue. Please note that there are no devices built on Intel® 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE or 943/940GML/GU Express chipset which have GMA 950 running at a default clock of 400 MHz. By the way, another popular utility, Lavalys® Everest is also not correct in its readings. It will report 250 MHz for actual 400 MHz and 200 MHz for actual 250 MHz. So, an answer is: yes, the GMABooster is still needed.

Q.: Should I keep the program running, or may I close its window once I set the desired core clock? What if I reboot my computer, do I have to set the core clock again?
A.: Yes, You may close the program once You have set the desired clock. However, once You restart a computer, You need to set the clock again. Such a behaviour is a technical limitation of the chipset. It is not possible to make the setting permanent. For this reason, on return from standby/hibernate the setting will also be reset to default.

Q.: I've got a question which is not listed here! How can I get an answer?
A.: Please feel free to contact the developer!

Dat is al zijn 2e topic vandaag, Lijkt me meer op een reclame stunt

Zie GMA booster. Hiervoor hebben we de meuktracker. Overigens is het echt niet nodig om twee topics te openen . Submit dit soort applicaties gewoon als ze niet in de meuk staan.
