crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I think you need to go to the Intel site and see if they have a driver installer or something for your Xeon chipset. Sounds like something important might be missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The Intel INF installation should be harmless. It adds some text files that Windows can use to identify Intel hardware. After you do that, trying to update the driver on that exclaimed hardware item or removing it and rescanning should hopefully allow Windows to install the driver correctly.

crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I generally install all if I am having any kind of problem, but you don't have to do them all at once if you are concerned. It does mean that MS thinks some of your drivers are out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 It can definitely matter with Blue Lightning because A) There are some bad images with errors in the sound data and B) CD game performance can be improved by altering CD Seek Speed and Full Image Caching. You might want to open Resource Monitor and look at it when you are doing nothing. Your system CPU usage should be just a couple of percentage if you are idle, and if anything is causing spikes then there is a badly behaving program or service running in the background. Then leave Resource Monitor running when you test a game, then go back to it and check to see if there are spikes in the CPU, memory, or disk activity. If your computer is not fast enough for BigPEmu for any reason, you will see the CPU usage totally maxed. It should not be able to do that on your system, but it is best to check for it. My 10 year old I7 4770k usually runs at about 40% usage under BigPEmu, while I think the VCS uses more like 60%. Also, what resolution are you running in, and what mode (Full screen/Window/Borderless window)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep like 2% when nothing and about 30% when running Wolfenstein on the emulator. Right now all the defaults. Rez is 800x600x32. Windowed or full does nothing. Same problem as I showcased in the video running Wolfenstein. It seems to me like the emulator just doesn't like my hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Maybe try running a test to see if your OpenGL is working properly https://geeks3d.com/furmark/ It shouldn't be having audio problems like that with the CPU not maxed out, so there must be another system involved.

What am I supposed to do? The GPU stress test? Says do it "at your own risk" I think it's a higher problem than sound. It seems to run games slow and the sound jerkiness is just the most visible effect of this. Edited February 15, 2023 by Class316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 It is harmless unless you run the stress test for hours without adequate system cooling, because it will make your GPU work hard so your system and power supply can be stressed You don't need to do that, you would just want to try a GPU benchmark at your normal resolution. It could be that your system is not using hardware acceleration for the graphics, so Furmark will indicate how Open GL is running. I have a GTX660 and my 1080p score is 1778 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Click under GPU Benchmarks where it says Preset: 1080 or 720, wait a minute or two for it to make its test run, then see what the score is in the window that appears afterwards. If it is running like 2 frames per second instead of 20 or 30, that may mean there is an OpenGL problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn I am stumped at why this emulator that everyone says is perfect isn't for me. Edited February 15, 2023 by Class316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
