best hd baby monitor image
Matt L.
I run all of my devices wirelessly and my connection is pretty slow. When I play video games my connenction is pretty shitty. Videos barely load in hd. I lag playing games all of the time. I am close to my router though. I use the router Verizon gave me. Should I get a new one? When I look at my connection's status the speed says 54 mbps. Overall what do you think I should do. Not that great when It comes to this kind of computer stuff. Heres a speedtest I had on my computer. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2809586281.png
Best answer gets 10 points!. WHY IS MY CONNECTION SO SLOW.
Answer
Is that readout from a wired machine? If so you need to call Verizon support.
If that is wifi, retest using an Ethernet connection! Wifi is subject to many items that can make it VERY slow.
Interference to wifi causes major retransmission issues which don't impact wired devices. Changing channels may help, reducing wireless devices like cordless telephones, wireless cameras, baby room monitors, wireless speakers, etc. May also help.
That 54mbs is normal 802 G connection speed but that doesn't mean you have all that speed available when other wifi units are in use! TV's running Netflix will use up tons of speed as will computers streaming YouTube etc. Shut off all other wifi devices, check the speed. Turn off all other cordless/wireless devices, check your speed. Be sure the router is set to port forward traffic correctly. You can read up on port forwards at http://portforward.com
Adding another router will make matters worse unless you know exactly how to configure two routers and by your question you would need help even getting a connection to a second router. So no, don't add to your problem.

Should I upgrade my computer or can you give me tips?

I've been having issues with my computer for awhile as far as gaming goes. I bought my computer strictly for gaming purposes, but I'm having issues with all of my games. V-sync is my main issue, because with it off the screen tears terribly and with it on there is very slow mouse lag. I want to call the guy who made my computer and ask him, but doesn't know much about gaming. What I need to know is if something in my computer may need an upgrade because it might be conflicting with the graphics card. Anyway I'd really like if you could answer this with detail, because I've already asked this many times and most of the answers are very unhelpful and conflicting. Computer Specs below.
Graphics: ASUS Nvdia Geforce GTX 660
Ram: 8gb DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-14900, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Processor: AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.99GHz
Motherboard: msi A7MA-G55
Monitor: 1600 x 900 60hz
Power Supply: 550W
Hard Drive: 1T
Internet Speed: 8063 Kbps / 1147 Kbps
IOS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Answer
There are several issues w/ v-sync. First off is that the higher the frame rate the better the mouse response even if that frame rate is higher than the monitors refresh rate. Once you enable v-sync the computer keep the frame rate at speeds that can be multiplied into 60 using whole numbers. That means 15, 20, 30, or 60FPS(40 might be possible to but I dont remember.. If you keep dipping below 60 you will hit the 30cap or 40 if it exists.
What you should try right away is turning off v-sync then go into the nvidia control panel and force adaptive v-sync. It will enable v-sync at 60fps but disable it when under 60fps. This will keep you from getting screwed into a 30fps speed.
There may be some tearing at low frame rates but should be minimal.
All those v-sync modes work by dropping frames so your card is doing the work of a higher frame rate but then having frames discarded to ensure it can easily be synced with the 60Hz refresh rate of your monitor.
If you are going to upgarde anything it needs to be your video card. The 660 is not an enthusiast card. Get a amd 7950 at the least or a 7970 or gtx670 or gtx680.
You can sell your current card to recoup some cash. I am a nvidia fan and at the time I bought my gtx670 it was a better performer per dollar than what AMD offered but now the tables are turned. AMD offers the best bang for the buck by far. A 7950 will eat yout card for a late night snack.
The rest of the system is great. If you have not overclocked your processor than do so now. A 20% boost should be as easy as stealing candy from a baby cat that doesn't like candy. You can certainly get more than that but surely 20% is stupid easy.
Hope this helps

Also in response to the Intel recommendation and hd recommendation those guys don't need to be spending anymore time in the computer section answering questions.
you already stated the issue v-sync or tearing so checking your HD is just silly. As for the Intel bit the 3rd gen i7 is the last 1155 chip so any i5 chip and board you buy now will not be able to be upgraded at all n the future.
I have a i5 3570k at 4.5GHz and a GTX670 that is overclocked to get about 20% more performance and even that struggles at 2560x1440p resolutions. At 1600x900 there would be no problems.
Also a few other things DO NOT use anti aliasing except for fxaa and txaa. MSAA is to demanding for that video card and will severally reduce frames rates. Disable motion blur as it reduces frame rates and the quality of the scene. In nvidia control panel turn on anisotropic sample optimization, set texture filtering quality to high performance, enable trilinear optimization, turn on triple buffering and set vertical sync to adaptive.
Try the game with the trilinear optimization on and off and see if you notice a difference. Also find out if your monitor can be overclocked and if so by how much. If you can get your monitor to run at 75hz that will increase your mouse performance quite a bit with vsync on. If you can hit 90 even better.
Good luck and sorry about all the idiots. You wont get a better answer than this one on this site.
