I've gone threw some hardships and would like to share my tweaks that I have found that work. These gave me noticable boosts. Un-parking all of your cores. http://bitsum.com/about_cpu_core_parking.php What does it do? It keep the Cores in a active state instead of idle. The tranasction from Idle to active can cause hitching. This eliminates it. Drawbacks- You may run hotter. Flag PLanetside 2 for Large aware. http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...-not-be-written-in-32-bits.49605/#post-640974 What does it do? This Tweak Allows PS to Address more RAM. Since PS2 is 32 bit would normally gives it aroind 1.2gb 2b of RAM. Most 64 bit uses have 8 gig plus. This should allow windows to give it more RAM 3-4 gigs, lessening the load on the HD and not creating a bottleneck when the Game Requests more Data. Drawbacks- None so far. Reduce and eliminate throttling. http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...arket-upgrades/531329-throttlestop-guide.html What does it do? This program allows tweaking of kernel functions that reduce CPU power upon certain temps. This also has many other features but for me being locked in my EFI bios, this works wonders. Some Bios allow you to tweak this setting without using a program like this. However this works in realtime. Drawbacks- You will run hotter but not get the kernel event lowering your CPU speed. Careful when using this. Set PS2 to high priority and set Processor scheduling. 1 .Start PS2. 2. @ charecter select hit Crtl+Alt+DEL. 3. Start task mgr. and click process tab. 4. click show all processes from user. 5. Find PS 2 right click on it. 6. Set to High Priority. What did I just do? Without going into a detailed Tech explanation. You just made PS2 take up majority of the processing time. Processor scheduling. 1. Click start 2. Right click computer and click properties. 3. click Advanced system settings, click advanced tab. 4. click settings under performance. Then click Advanced tab. 5. Make sure Programs are selected in adjust best performance. What did I just do? Without going into a Tech explanation. You just gave your running programs more processing time. Which increases PS2 performance. User options Tweaks. (Assuming your settings are all on low) Turn off Flora Change render distance to 1000. Run the game in windowed mode at 1028/768. Set rendering to 60%. Have the right drivers. A no brainer. Facts about PS2 and why it runs like Crap on most computers. 1. Coded to run on 32 bit- 32bit is old as the dickens, it's time Software devs start using modern and updated coding and software methodologies. They did it to make everything more compatable on legacy stuff. However it can't even run on legacy rigs. 2. DX9- Read Above. 3. One tire fryer- PS2 does not take advantage of Multi-core processors or use the intended power. I am not going to explain why, anyone who cares can find out. It favors 1 CPU running at a really higher clock Freq versus people running multiple cores and virtual cores. These are the main reasons why your Comp or Laptop runs like crap with a i-5+ and a decent card. #3 is the big one. Note *this isnt an attack on the DEVs, they know this already.* These are tweaks that I have done noticed a gain in performance. All instructions are for windows 7. If you don't have Windows 7 you need to upgrade ASAP. I hope it helps some other people! Some programs I use- GPU-Z: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ I use this when I OC my GC. CPUID-HW mon- http://download.cnet.com/HWMonitor/3000-2094_4-10793486.html?tag=main;dropDownForm Use this as well. ATI Tray Tools- http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733 Use this to OC my GC. Driver Sweeper- http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html I've installed almsot every driver for the 6770m, this was vital in cleaning all the old junk out.
