Updating BIOS and Nvidia Drivers for the Asus 1215n HD

[MegaSonicdude10]

@sirmousalot11 The v-ram is a virtual ram disk utility to use your system memory like an ssd disk.

[sirmousalot11]

@MegaSonicdude10 oh okay thanx

[Sonofabrick557]

Does the crysis demo run better after the update?

[sirmousalot11]

@Sonofabrick557 yup =D like 10 fps better i think

[sirmousalot11]

@klebinek you have to have win 64bit and the bios to get your computer to recognize the 4 GB of Ram as far as i know, and if you did have win 64 bit you could use the 0902 Bios that i suggested

[ThisLadChanny]

I wonder how AVA runs seem that you have it installed compared to AMD E-350? Also can you test Soldier Front!

[sirmousalot11]

@ThisLadChanny cool i'll try and test AVA i'm soo behind in updates though lolz

[nibauAntunes]

thanks!

[sirmousalot11]

@nibauAntunes no prob :D

[powerfull499]

Hi there! I see you play League of Legends. How does it run it :)? I can run it with all on medium with 20-25 fps and highest resolution with my 1215n (no gamebooster and flash memory like you ...)

Thanks.

[sirmousalot11]

@powerfull499 cool yeah i run it around the same speed but but it some spikes at like 31 fps or so =)

[villagewhore911]

When can we expect your new gamplay

[sirmousalot11]

@villagewhore911 its already out =)

[Paddyr6]

cool thanks alot man finally full screen flash videos :)

[sirmousalot11]

@Paddyr6 yay!

[Mirco90]

Hey sirmousalot11, i have a 1201n OCed at maximum, and now maybe i wanna change my netbook to the 1215n. But i have to see how the game performance is with new drivers, new bios and of course, OC at maximum (gpu and cpu). Their is no video in the whole internet, its crazy. thank you

[villagewhore911]

Lol do u think its actualy the 1215n cuz its ran really smooth

[sirmousalot11]

@villagewhore911 maybe, the valve engine is really good with this computer at least, like i can paly l4d 2 really well

[villagewhore911]

Eikich1 was supposedly able to play portal 2 at max settings .... u should try that game out

[sirmousalot11]

@villagewhore911 ahha maybe but if there's already a vid of it up already it would kinda be redundant

[Eikich1]

@villagewhore911 supposedly????In the moment I uploaded the video only have over the stock 5Gb of memory and the 64 bits of Win 7.

sirmousalot11 why you don't install a 4gb module and update the windows to the 64 bits version? The memory is very cheap and for the win 7 64bits, your 32bits key is valid. This mode you have 5gb without the limit of 2.74Gb of 32 SO.

Greetings.

[sirmousalot11]

@Eikich1 well if i update i'll have to reinstal a whole bunch of things that i bought a while back, plus i'd have to buy win 7 64 bit which is pretty expensive if i'm not mistaken

[soupsmcblinky]

So I updated the bios and the nvidia drivers and now, when using your overclock settings for the Ion but NOT overclocking the cpu with setfsb, I get around 45 fps at the beginning of a 1v1 on sc2 which drops to around 15-20 fps during bigger battles! Overall I'm seeing an average 15 fps increase from before these two updates. I also do use gamebooster but don't use any readyboost ram, however I do have 2.74 gigs of ram (stupid win 32 limit bug). Super excited about this stuff!

[sirmousalot11]

@soupsmcblinky yeah i would suggest OCing only up to 481 in the setfsb now instead of 561

but yeah i'm pretty happy with this update too

[soupsmcblinky]

@sirmousalot11 why the drop to 481?

[soupsmcblinky]

@sirmousalot11 also, do you have to stay on high settings when going up to 481 or can you use super setting on the hybrid engine?

[sirmousalot11]

@soupsmcblinky just stay on high, and the reason is some ppl say its more stable i haven't really tested it out but its what i heard (it over clocks it to 2.0ghz)

[villagewhore911]

Do you think u would be able to run mw3 on this?

[MEETU92]

nice video and it's really nice to see you're back doing videos I was just wondering if you could do a test video on with your netbook running A.V.A and if possible Brink too?

[sirmousalot11]

@MEETU92 yeah i might do an AVA video i just need to update mine, and i'll have to either find a demo of Brink or borrow it from someone

[MEETU92]

@sirmousalot11 cool, hope you can find a way to test brink

[sqeker09]

Wouldn't Game Booster already reconize a BIOS update? under the game drivers.

[sirmousalot11]

@sqeker09 well i don't have the new one so i don't know

but last time i had it installed it didn't see it (Bios are different from drivers) it only saw that my sound card was out of date

[13Sakke13]

I'd love to see BFBC2/LoL (again) with the new drivers :D

[sirmousalot11]

@13Sakke13 i'll try and borrow a copy of BFBC2 but i prolly won't do LOL again because i don't really like to do repeats

well i prolly won't do a full video featuring the game but i may do a vid to show some improvements

[xXSkyllbergXx]

Thanks for the tutorial :D

and apparently there is an even newer nvidia driver now ^^

[sirmousalot11]

@xXSkyllbergXx ahaha yeah i just saw that today lolz

[ELRingoFa]

BIOS update through windows!?!?

Are you fucking retarded!?!?

[sirmousalot11]

@ELRingoFa it was a bios up date through an Asus program and it worked fine for me

whats wrong with that?

[ELRingoFa]

@sirmousalot11

The chance of fucking up a BIOS update is significant higher if you do it through windows, instead of doing it from a CD or usb key.

[sirmousalot11]

@ELRingoFa well i've a bunch of ppl on forums use this and its the easiest way to do it

[Wikingsen]

Thank you very much ;D

by the way, do you know if the bios update increases the gameplay that much? Or is it mainly the new nvidia driver wich gives more performance?^^ (Cause I fear to do a bios update xD)

[sirmousalot11]

@Wikingsen actually i think its the BIOs that improved the gameplay but when together it really helps

yeah i was really scared b4 doing the bios but its really easy if you just follow what i said in the video you should be fine, and also Asus will repair it if anything did go wrong, or any tech repair place should know enough to fix it

infact with my old pc my Bios got messed up to the point my computer's screen wouldn't turn on and i took to a repair store and they fixed it in the same day

[Wikingsen]

@sirmousalot11

Thanks for your advice ;D I guess i will give it a try^^

By the way, I checked the nvidia-homepage today, there's already a complete new driver versoin out right now (280.26) ;)

[sirmousalot11]

@Wikingsen ahahah i'll have to give that one a try, when i linked all the stuff it wasn't there lolz

[sirmousalot11]

feel free to ask any questions if this vid is unclear =)
