Hopefully...

ok... i hope so too as well. im going to try out the wpt right now... hope theres no more error after followed the post from 2nd last post

I guess the game booster disabled some services, hence the error now..

if i read correctly, this guide is only meant to fix artifacts in Intel driver! not sure if it will help fix artifacts you have in gaming (which i assume you are using 5650).

i think so too... ive successfully completed the optimization, got about 40sec boost from 190 to 150 sec, this is right before the post boot actually started under the boot phases section and total time after the optimization is 280sec (thats the end time that can be viewed)

p/s
the game booster actually halts any process that r marked as can make ur laggy when u switched to gaming mode and resumes it after u restores it

The 150 sec is counted using boottimer ?

actually the trace file saved by the trace steps, opened it using the performance analyzer though

I tried to read the trace once, but cant find the boot time! Where you get it? Anyway, it cant be 150sec (or 120sec), that is the total time it recorded.

Try BootTimer

Anyway, glad to know that you successfully ran the optimizing tool! You should be please of the speed now. I re-run this tool often whenever i updated my OS, or install new driver. it helps.

Now, i'd be great to solve your aritifact issue... what driver you are using now? from CCC info?

^run this
xperf -i bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl -o 01_summary_start.xml -a boot
xperf -i boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl -o 02_summary_end.xml -a boot

To determine the boot time, open the XML files and look at the value bootDoneViaPostBoot. This value (-10000 = 10seconds) shows you the time, which Windows needs to boot completely.

In the file 02_summary_end.xml it should be much lower.


CCC 11.2 if want to try~

still, i think its quite troublesome to keep on changing between switchable and discrete

i see on that 1st

i wonder y my laptop have a wide gap of boot time and all of them r varies?

Wow! it's OUT! thanks! will test that tomorrow! it's 3am, need to sleep!

how do i read the xml file?

Just open using notepad is ok...

After installed the 11.2, seems like my only artifact in NFS Hot Pursuit is gone...

what should i find there? its 100-150kb in sizes and its huge...

did u patch ur driver using those envy? or do a clean driver install of ur ati?

To see the boot time, search for bootDoneViaPostBoot

Not using 3820TG/4820TG...
Just did a clean install...

<timing bootDoneViaExplorer="153381" bootDoneViaPostBoot="-1" osLoaderDuration="3558"
postBootRequiredIdleTime="10000" postBootDisturbance="9223371873473"
pnpBootStartStartTime="43" pnpBootStartEndTime="2534" pnpBootStartDuration="2490"
pnpSystemStartStartTime="9002" pnpSystemStartEndTime="51829" pnpSystemStartDuration="42827">

is what i found

hmm, mine is about 51000, why yours -1

i dunno... maybe i would be using the boottimer instead

p/s
i got a total boot time of 350sec using boottimer

p/s 2
installed ccc11.2 and tried the Dead Space 2 for some artifact, its gone... thx lee for the ccc11.2 update notrice
