    Re: Help with low FPS and stuttering GTX560 please

    I've got 25 GB free of a 230GB harddrive. How would I go about increasing the virtual memory, as you described?

    Best way I can describe what may be happening is like this:

    Think of your cpu as a road, and the gpu as a car.

    You old setup would be like a Chevy going down a farm road. Now switch your Chevy to a Porchse and travel the same road, it won't be able to o faster cause then the road, aka game information, doesn't let the gpu run.

    I jmust found this: Intel Core i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E CPU Review - Page 15

    It uses a 460 ftw, which is better, but it does show you sorta on spec when running well.

    It could be reseating and sweeping fixed it, but we'll see.

    Very good analogy, it explained it surprisingly well!!

    Yeah I think the only thing I can really do now is sit and wait. Thanks for all your help with it!

    To change virtual memory, go to Control Panel, System. Then:

    1. <LI class=step>In the left pane, click Advanced system settings. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
      <LI class=step>On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
      <LI class=step>Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, click Change.
      <LI class=step>Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.
      <LI class=step>Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
    2. Click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, click Set, and then click OK. In this step change the minimum and the maximum to 12000 Mb. This is 3 times your RAM.
    Working with games and video creates many many temporary files. Thus it is a good idea to frequently run things like the Windows Disk Cleanup utility from Accessories and Reboot (or run something like CCCleaner without the registry cleansing) to clear out temporary files and the recycle bin. In addition, make sure that Vista is set to automatically defrag (see the help file).

    It's possible that none of this will help you with your problem but you are starting to run low on hard disk space (in today's world).

    Well my FPS was pretty bad today again. I uninstalled MSI afterburner (incase that was interfering in some way), changed my virtual memory, restarted (so the changes could take effect), and my FPS is back up to around 60. I don't know what changed it though ; the restart, the uninstallation or the virtual memory.

    After making my last post, I got thinking about it and realized that I failed to mention that when you increase the virtual memory, you lose hard disk free space- something you don't have a lot of. Sorry about that.

    Did you try doing a disc cleanup?

    Yay, but No.

    Got my sr-2 built and booted with my 560ti, i can't do 1080, but at 1600x900 I'm averaging 31fps.

    I'm betti your system needs a reboot to stay healthy.

    I think you've miss understood the problem. He gets good fps, BUT out of the blue, they go from 45fps- 8fps, and only a reboot gets it back to 45fps.
