Memory clock of graphics card reach maximum frequency after vmPing start #78

Tun2Sucks commented 2 years ago

Win7 Ryzen 2600 GTX1070 .Net 4.62

The memory clock is usually 400 when there is no program running. After vmPing start (no ping start yet), the memory clock goes to 4000 immediately, and the fan of graphics card starts to work, and I can feel some lagging of the system. There is no other program running in the background. I tried 1.3.18 to 1.3.12 and they all have the same problem. May I know how to avoid this?

vtainc commented 2 years ago

Yes. I also noticed, that when I'm using vmping the fan starts to work all the time ( I'm using a laptop ).

r-smith commented 2 years ago

I'll look into this soon. @vtainc are you also on Win7?

Can you try version 1.2.15 or earlier and see if it's any different?

vtainc commented 2 years ago

No, I was on win10, now on win11:)

I tried 1.2.15 and 1.2.8, and the performance was the same. Now I use performance settings in Graphics card's control panel and set vmping.exe to “optimal power” and turn off every other special effects, and the situation improve a lot. Though I think it shouldn't happen in original settings

HI, i will write this post here, because it is related to cpu/graphics usage.

Same behavior on: clean win10 21H2, clean win11 21H2 with latest updates and graphics drivers. Laptop: Lenovo Thinkbook 13s gen2 intel 1165G7/16Gb and iris xe graphics.

GPU usage of the vmping is too high, when I try to ping many hosts this produces too high fan noise, I understand, that maybe this is normal, but other software doesn''t use gpu resources in such manner.
The gpu usage has been increased after 1.3.12 by 2x...

r-smith commented 2 years ago

Can you try release 1.3.23. I disabled GPU acceleration for the app entirely.

vtainc commented 2 years ago

Hello.

Thank you. Now it is much better.

But... there is one problem now - some ping windows from time to time are empty :(

r-smith commented 2 years ago

Glad the GPU issue is fixed! I'm going to close this issue. I've seen that problem with the blank output and I have an idea of what's causing it. I'll open a new issue for that.
