But every now & again we would love to play a game or two. It makes us bit sad when we end up with a message saying that performance in the VGA is not enough for playing that certain game. Now here I am intending to help you to improve your INTEL on-board VGA to have some kind of a boost ( Pardon me for not using the term GPU or Graphic’s Processing Unit which was introduced by Nvidia OK .. I don’t consider Intel On-board VGA as a GPU ) Approximately if all done successfully you will get a 20 % boost to your video gaming performance . First let me tell you that the Intel on-board VGA packs quite a punch But what it lacks is the proper drivers to harness its true energy. This is quite pity for a VGA chip brand which covers almost 60 % of the VGA market. So let me take you through the steps OK. ** Install Windows 7 if your PC can support – What it does is that ( My personal Observation ) it enables AGP texture acceleration if it was not available in your PC previously. This is because of the new drivers . I experienced this on my Laptop where in windows XP this feature was not enabled thus i was not able to play Call of Duty 2 even. But with windows 7 this option is enabled & i can even play COD 4. ** Install Latest Drivers for Intel VGA’s – Even if you have the latest OS up & running without the latest drivers you will not get the optimum performance with out proper up to date drivers. So get the & install those ( Its a good idea to have all your drivers updated – Windows 7 will do this automatically if Windows update is enabled – But it is good to install drivers from the specific vendor OK ) <a href="http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx" target="_blank">http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx</a> –> Download your drivers from here & there is a handy tool available in the site too (Intel Driver Update Utility). ** Now lets tweak a bit OK . So when you start up the computer go to BIOS & Find out where is the option to select DVMT – Dynamic Video Memory Technology & set it to the maximum possible (DVMT will dynamically allocate video memory from RAM depending on the application running ) <a href="http://www-dr.cps" target="_blank">http://www-dr.cps</a>.intel.com/Assets/PDF/whitepaper/307508.pdf  — > Read More on DVMT ok its an interesting technology.<img src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:TN_InfQwHRVsZM:http://techreport.com/r.x/shuttle-sb81p/bios-videomem.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww99/koala_pb1/DVMT_BIOS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   ** Now since you have the latest Hardware up & running lets tweak the drivers a bit. You can search the internet for days but end up having no tweaks . But here i found this option works a bit to increase the performance OK. Go to the Intel Graphic Properties( from the Task Bar Icon– > then go to 3D settings which will open the OPEN GL settings –> Then scroll down to find Driver Memory Footprint & Make It High. Confused How to open it ..  Read this article from Intel <a href="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-022130.htm" target="_blank">http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-022130.htm</a> OK **Finally Let us do some over clocking – ( Hope all know the risks of over clocking Ha ) To do that there is a nice application called GMA booster. It will increase the clock rate of your intel VGA thus resulting in 20 % increase in your VGA performance<img src="http://13inches.info/img/netbook/02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You can download it from here ok <a href="http://www.gmabooster.com/download.htm" target="_blank">http://www.gmabooster.com/download.htm</a> Unfortunately at present it only support Intel GMA 900 & 950 only Features of it — > <ul style="text-align: left"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The boost in game “X” is about 25%, while in pure GPU tests (like 3DMark® ’05/’06 Pixel Shader or Texturing tests) I see a whopping perfomance increase, just as expected (I mean, as might be predicted with calculator) – up to 2.4x</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No hardware over clocking only software ( You have to run GMA booster every time you start the computer OK )</li> </ul> SO Happy Gaming People In Next Article How to tune your On-board Nvidia VGA — > PS — If you are interested & I see any comments here I will post a list of games suitable for these Intel VGA’s & download links which i tested out personally  ( If I see comments Only Ok ) Original Link- <a href="http://techlegend.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/how-to-improve-your-on-board-vgas-part-one-intel/" target="_blank">http://techlegend.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/how-to-improve-your-on-board-vgas-part-one-intel/</a> Find More about Tecno <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> </blockquote>
