Gain up to 10 fps extra on a nvidia card

http://members.tripod.com/windowsxp2002/system_tweaks2.htm

try this, i already have nv4_disp inthe first part.....:




Open up regedit and browse to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv4\Device0

In the right window, find the key called InstalledDisplayDrvivers . Right now it says nv4 (just nv4 nothing else). Right click on it and choose "Modify" and change it to read nv4_disp.

Also check at the:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device0

and do the same if necessary. Now, go into notepad and paste this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak\OemConfigurations]
"ControlsOverride"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"LargePageMinimum"=dword:ffffffff

Now, save that as nvidiatweak.reg and then go to the folder you saved it in, and double click it and then it will be merged into the registry. Now reboot your machine and see the results.

 

Which drivers are you using when doing this?

 

Win9x/me?

Or is this another "XP only" thing?

I THINK ITS AN XP TWEAK CAUSE IN WIN 2K I SEE MORE STUFF WHERE I AM SUPPOSED To EDIT........SO I DIDNT.

ALSO LINK IS DEAD BUDDY.

 

So has anyone tried this and confrimed it works and wont mess anything up in the process?

 

What have you got to loose besides a complete re-install? Are you a man or a mouse dammit? Pffft - youngsters today

 

lol ok im gonna do it!!!!! IM GONNA DO IT!!!!! (after i back up of course)

 

Thats better - let us know how you get on If you're not back in 20 mins I'll assume the worst ....

 

Alright theres a slight problem i out that in my wordpad and saved but windows tells me its not a vailed registry file?

 

Ok nevermind i got it im stupid i saved it as a RTF and not a regular doc. well im gonna restart and try it here it goes

 

MY GOD - he's lost the ability to speak English!

 

alright hold before i do this is there a small program i can d/l to test my fps now?

 

lol, try it in a game that plays very poorly and see if u get any extra speed [most games have fps counters, the tricky part is finding em]

 

Doesn't do anything for me.

I decided to run it against my 3dmark score before and after, doing 3 runs and averaging the 3 each time.

It didn't change it, averages are too close to give any weight to this tweak.

 

Re: Doesn't do anything for me.

And further - after playing SOF2, I found quite a bit of flashing and artifacting that wasn't present before, so I ended up undoing these changes.

 

how do you undo it?

 

easy

if you had to edit something in the registry all you'd have to do is export what you were editing and import it afterwards

 

I tried it and my system kept crashing and saying that NV4.DLL was causing the problems.
