Final Performance Tips

Performance Tips

Since we've covered two major parts of how to make your computer run faster and how to make full use of your computer while running an application, such as games; I am going to add any other necessary tips that can effect your system.

  • Make sure your computer doesn't have any ad-ware, scam or malware running. these eat up all of your CPU and RAM and make unnecessary internet traffics.
  • Update your applications/browsers. Basically update anything but unknown programs, ie. random flash update on the internet.
  • Get rid of unnecessarily and unknown folders 
  • Pay attention to your computer score(If you do not have a fixed scoring system look at your computer, is it capable of running heavy programs?) and the amount of heat that your Video card.CPU gives, are they cooperating and is there a coloration? If not then there is a problem inside your computer or fan.
  • Check for any alerts, try to fix them  immediately. 
  • If you are using windows, check action center regularly, to have better understanding of your computers recent action  click the maintenance drop down menu in action center and click we reliability history; that explains how safe is/was your system and what application is causing frequent crash.

Better system performance II

Since last time ,you have changed your battery power plan to power saver, you still might have some overheating and slow system problem. So now we are going to change the CPU usage ratio on different battery stages. You have two options, either continue using the original power saver plan, or if you don't want to change the parent plan function you can create a custom plan.

 To start creating your own custom settings go to battery/power options in system  security and look for create your own power plan on the left menu, or click the manual power saver plan.
After choosing your plan, make any custom changes to the basic options at the center and then look for a link  'change advance power settings'.



You have plenty of toggle menus to open a specific task, but scroll down and open the 'Processor power management'> Maximum processor state. The initial percentage should be 100%. Decrease the amount your percentage by range of 10~45% (recommended) depending on your desire/system ; you may exceed the given range but you might notice your CPU speed is extremely low.
Note: You might need to make the Plugged in percentage higher than On Battery since the system is more conformable not running on battery power. 
  •         Now your processor takes more time to run applications but all the alerts/ overheating severity will decrease.
  •  You can make the minimal percentage higher if you have a high standard computer. All the other options could be changed later, but the one that effects the system the most  is the process state that you have just changed.

Better Performance I

         For those with capable computers they increased their performance to their next level; but lets say a systems does not have all of those capabilities, meaning extensive CPU heat, system error, low RAM and low W.E.I system Score, so they might want to lower their effects to have a faster and more efficient system for their computer.

      


  This  is pretty much opposite of the previous Posts with sightly different changes. To start go to Control Panel> system and security>W.E.I> and on the left bar click on advanced tools. Scroll until you See something similar to "adjust performance of Windows". You have few options:
  • Adjust for best performance (least quality/best performance)
  • Windows Choice (best for your system)
  • For best Appearancenot recommended with low scores)








Now with the V.Effects adjusted go back to system and security then power options; this time click Power saver, this should reduce the battery deduction rate. If you do not like the change go edit your plan or change back to your previous plan. If the changes are at  acceptable level, we will  go into detail that how CPU percentage is used on the battery stages, and how you can decrease the heat and quality and increase the performance of the system.

Smoother Programs II

So now that you know how to improve your Visual effects, you are going to improve the performance by changing some battery performance. 
As always you need admin permission, so go to control panel and click on System and security, and look for 'Power Options'. After clicking the link, a window similar to this image should pop up. Click high performance; now your CPU gets the most out of battery, meaning you have the 'best' of your system quality. You might run out of battery  quicker than usual but it's worth it! If you notice some problems and bugs, change it back to normal settings.

There could be some side effects if the system does not have the requirements  excessive heat from CPU  shorter battery life.
There are many other ways to improve gaming/programs quality, here's a list of ways you can improve them:

  • Disable your Network connection if you are not playing online.
  • Close any unnecessary and background programs.
  • set your game application setting to the highest
  • De-fragment your hardware;  click Here.
  • Disable your anti-Spyware/Virus* program ONLY for the time when you are running the program.
  • Do not run the game with ISO.  extension , DVD/CD files are more likely boost the quality, if you have ISO. file, burn the image to correct Disc.
*Important: Disable your Anti-Malware program only when you are sure that your system is entirely clean, and the program that you are using is obtained form a trusted source. Pirated/freeware applications are more likely to have hidden viruses that attack the system whenever no protection is present. Do not disable your Anti-Malware program while you are online with the game or the application, doing this make you more vulnerable from hackers.
Go back to S.P. I

Smoother Programs

On This Post I'm going to talk about how to increase your gaming or programs performance, NOT your CPU/Fan/battery performance, that is for later units. If you are looking for better system response this is not the page for you, but you are welcome to continue reading:


  1. First, let's start by improving the visual effects. Go to Control panel>System and security>Windows Index> Adjust Visual Effects(admin permission needed.).








2. After clicking, a window should pop up, chose the best performance button or select custom for personal selection, after you have finished, click apply. I normally let system choose for me.
3. Go to Advanced tab at the top and click adjust performance for programs, then click 'OK'. to see what we are talking about go check out the images.
Now that we are finished changing the visual effects, we should notice few changes on the system, it has allot better graphic. But you may not see much of a difference either if your system was already set up at a high level program performance. The next post is going to be about changing how your system  is related to your battery, and how is it going to improve your system performance.
