![]() ![]() On XP it's a check box and with W7 there's a visible admin icon at the bottom of the TM. In order to see the turboboost.exe process you will need to set task manager to see processes from all users. Both can be found on the processes tab of the task manager if installed. The other process that goes with it is Turboboost.exe. ![]() That thing grabs an average of 38 Mb on my system and the average mem usage for users is 23 Mb. Note: The main offender is the signalislandui.exe process. Outside of a city frame rates jumped from mid 30's to low 50's with most of the time the frame rate a steady 60. UNTIL I killed the turbo boost software and low and behold average frame rates for trainz jumped from the mid to low teens in a large train yard to the mid to high 20's in the same train yard. Long story short I went back and did the remove high memory usage processes one at a time and checking frame rates on two different games under identical conditions each time and then rebooting to see if the process running or not installed made any difference. Intel says that the software allows/forces the CPU to run at higher clock rates when it is not fully loaded or temps are below cutoff temps. It never occured to me that a software designed to make a CPU work at peak efficiency would impact graphical framerates because before deciding to not remove the boost tech I researched it. Then I started killing processes that used huge amounts of memory manually to see if any of them were the source of the problem (they weren't). I knew that I had reset all the nVidia control panel settings to what they had been with no luck. After the reinstall it came back during an auto-update.Ī couple of days ago I noticed that some of the games I play were experiencing stutters and their frame rates were noticably slower than before. Prior to that I had uninstalled the Intel Turbo Boost stuff about a year ago. A couple of weeks ago I had a system crash that required a complete HDD wipe and reinstall of the Win 7 64 bit OS. ![]()
