Performance Tip for AMD GPU users for stutter/lag

[midihooker]

Microstuttering and laggy playback is an all-too-known issue with any gaming system, and some good people on the net have come up with a possible issue with AMD installs:

AMD installs a service to write to the Event Log called ATIeRecord. If your event logs are huge and/or fragmented, then this service will record while you are gaming, and the recording lag from bad fragmented system files will hammer your performance with lags and stutters.

The fix?

Disable the service.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Atierecord]
"eRecordEnable"=dword:00000000

Set to "1" by default which enables it.

Clearing out the event logs is the only known way to defrag the log files, and NVIDIA users can experiment with this as well.

When a system is fresh, the log files are small and so record quickly, however, over time, they bloat and indexing these files are slow, and high priority according to the OS. This is why your games slow down because of this.

Yeah, but there may be something similar for nvidia cards, too.

Everyone says if you open your laptop and remove the tape and adhesive on the touchpad that fixes the problem. I wonder if that, somehow, would also remove that awful latency you have. It would be interesting....

If you want a really quick way to clear your event logs add these 3 lines to a text file, save it as Clear Event Logs.bat, put it someplace safe and you can even put a shortcut to it on your desktop.

wevtutil.exe cl Application
wevtutil.exe cl Security
wevtutil.exe cl System

Just dbl-click on the shortcut and your done.
