New g-force v-bar CPU usage up to 85%

Post by rapanuy »

Hi.

Will this be the way: with new g-forceversion, go and buy a new pc;)

Installed the new version yesterday, now I can hardly open outlook mails or other stuff due to the cpu usage of the v-bar, which ranges from 75-85%.

Before it was around 50-60%

My PC (I know, not the fastest, but it should do):

PC Mainboard: MS-7025
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum S.939
Nvidia N-Force3 Ultra ATX

Prozessor: Advanced Micro Devices
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
Venice (90 nm)

Memory Physical Total 2047 MB

Video Adapter RADEON 9250
Chipset RADEON 9250 AGP (0x5960)

I use an G-force 9600GT pci video card and the vbar uses about 22/23k with no problems.


someone with more technical knowledge is needed here

Well, none of the staff seems to care.
I went back to an older version, and the problems (opening outlook, mails, delete mails, open the explorer) are gone.

Therefore I will not invest more money into newer versions.

I know: I could buy a faster computer (mine is 3 years old 1.8ghz, 2GB ram, ATI radeon graphics with 128mb). Buy a new computer because it lags from a software?
No way.

Im useing the vbar right now I have adobe audition opened on the side outlook express is also open which is what notified me about this reply, I also have my creative media playing and my browser is open as I type this to you.



cpu usage is 17 %. I dont have a high end comp either but I did spend some money for a video card



the problem is not with GF its you computer update your video card or shut down other unnecessary processes now cpu usage 9%


if you really feel this is somthing with GF open a support ticket with soundspectrum support.

it has been stated here many times that the SS staff do not monitor this forum on a regular basis,

Hi.
Thx for the reply ;)
I opened a ticket - so whoever wants to do something about it will do.

My standalone right now uses 27/30k, and cpu usage ranges between 30-83%.

Why kill other processes like antivir, firewall or browser for the use of ONE software? Like I said: no probs with the last g-force version.

Now: if the new version kills my pc, it can´t be the pc being the only "guilty" part. If a pc runs OK, and a new software causes problems, what do you do? You deinstall the new software.

And its ok if this forum is not supported by the staff, but what good is than a bug reporting forum for?

Mike I'm running the new version and I did not lie about the low cpu usage and it actually went down to 4% but rose back to 12/12% so I highly doubt this has anything to do with "the new version" I know switching back somehow fixed your problem but often times installing a new version of GF without uninstalling the old can make problems.

I never meant you tell nonsense. I can´t figure out the problem, but for me as enduser there is one.
As I plan to buy a new pc the moment Windows 7 comes out I renewed now anyways, so I just stick to an old version till october, and then I´ll go for the new versions.

Thx for your help,
Mike
