Why would you use Dxtory? It's performance is really bad, only really good for niche use

No it's not?

It was VASTLY superior to OBS and XSplit's capture on both iterations of my previous system. My current one is strong enough that it doesn't matter.

It's performance was competitive with old, awfully performing options for some people, i have not seen anything to suggest it can compete with OBS game capture, if that's the case then im out of the loop. Pretty much nobody mentioned it at all recently.

Maybe im not right there, but i never saw performance anything like what is doable now with old dxtory+xsplit (and dxtory+OBS should be pretty much the same as you are just running dxtory data through encoder..)

Hello everybody my friend recommended me here to this site said I would get a good answer! So I am hoping someone can help.
So I have a Laptop here I just recently got and I am wondering If i can run SC2... I meet the requirements but my friends ( who plays SC2 ) told me he had a problem once were he thought he could run the game but when he plays online multiplayer as the map starts to get full he said I would experience almost unbearable lag... I hope this is not true because I was a SC1 fan and played for many years just never had the chance to upgrade my computer until now...
So as I can not post new threads because I am new I hope someone here will help me!! Please!!
I am not the best with all this so sorry if I miss details.
My PC is a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350m CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30GGz
RAM 6.00GB
System type 64-bit Operating System
Service pack 1
Windows 7 Home Premium
If I am missing something tell me where to find it and I will look and let you know!!
Thanks again ahead of time to anyone who helps!!

I'd go from a stuttery-feeling 30fps to smooth 55fps~ in League with dxtory through either XSplit or OBS (I've been using OBS since several months before my current build and had the latest version at the time I upgraded).

What the kind of system is that, though? I have ~200fps with the game maxed and over 130 with 1920x1080, 30fps stream live on a midrange system. Are you sure you were using game capture correctly? Even with screen capture etc that kind of performance is really really awful.

You may also want to try the starcraft starter edition to see if you can run singleplayer. Starcraft 2 just lags in big fights for a lot of people.

Why are they still selling core i3s?
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

i3's are really sweet CPU's, they beat AMD's high end lineup (8350) in sc2.

The problems come from it being a laptop CPU, its at 2.3ghz and aparantly laptop sandy bridge i3's do not support turbo's.

It would run sc2 ok, i mean better than any core 2 duo - but not the best.

No Core i3 has ever had Turbo Boost, and all Core i5 and i7 models have had it. At least Intel's been consistent with something.

It's not so much selling i3s as selling Sandy Bridge. Still got old stock I guess. Sandy Bridge also means integrated HD 3000, which is a bit underpowered as well.

It's around in the range where some people would say it's playable and others would say it's unplayable.

According to CanYouRunIt it says
Recommended: 512 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon® HD 3870 or better
You Have: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Thank you all for you help so far.
I would love to find someone who has used it before with this computer.
I dont know if I should buy or not -.- It only 40$ but I rather not waste it

Like I said, it's in the range where you'd get diverging opinions, though I don't think anybody would call it perfectly smooth. You can find them for yourself I guess. Just search around for what people with laptop Sandy Bridge Core i3 systems (and running integrated graphics) say. If it's got a Core i3-2310M, i3-2330M, i3-2350M, or i3-2370M and no dedicated graphics card, then it's similar to the one you listed.

Integrated graphics, i would not do. I just meant the CPU itself would work fine, you should at least have low end dedicated graphics

Integrated HD 4000 is fine at the resolutions most cheap laptops run (1366x768) on low, considering the CPUs can't really keep up either. It's a significant step up from HD 3000 though.

As for the laptop specs posted, for the Pavilion, seeing as nothing else was listed, it's probably using the integrated HD 3000. So that point should be emphasized.

If you're talking Intel drivers or something on the software side... yeah, but I think they're better these days, especially given the prevalence and relative capability of these integrated graphics compared to what they had before.

Just so we're clear, there are going to be times where it herk-a-jerks all around and may be unpleasant (try to win or lose games early to avoid this, heh). It's just that this lack of fluidity may or may not be a deal breaker, depending on expectations.

Whenever i select somthing with my cursor (highlight text, select a folder on my hard drive) it shows as this very bright light blue rather than the usual darker blue. It started doing this after i sent it in to have its gpu replaced. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Google searches have only taken me to CSS/html stuf

Idk if anything can be done about this, but almost every time I go into my browser (I'm using firefox) while SC2 is open, it freezes. It's only on pages running flash, especially twitch, and when I close flash player from the control panel, it unfreezes (at least until I try to load another page with flash). This didn't happen in WoL, it only started in HotS.

Another thing to note is that I can technically run things using flash while SC2 is running, twitch videos will occasionally run, but it freezes more than not.

Any suggestions for possible fixes? Should I try switching to Crome?

This addon puts Chrome (and IE) as an option into the right-click menu for urls: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browser-view-plus/

You could use that to help opening Twitch streams in a Chrome window while still mainly staying with Firefox.

For Flash and Firefox, Adobe introduced some kind of sandboxing a while ago, which made it run shitty on some PCs. You can try turning that off: http://techdows.com/2012/06/disable-flash-players-protected-mode-for-firefox.html

I don't know if that still works or is still a problem in current versions of Flash. That guide is from over half a year ago. You should maybe try to find something current about that "protected mode".

Next, you could try turning off hardware acceleration for Flash videos. It's in the "Settings..." dialog you get from right-clicking on something Flash.

Question of my own: I have a Netgear WNDR4300. With wireless enabled, my ping in League is 114-115. With wireless disabled, my ping is 77-79ms.

Any idea why simply having wireless enabled on the router would cause +40ms or what I can do to fix it?

Anything actually connected via wireless when it is enabled?

Does ping to router increase? Ping to anywhere else outside of home network increase?
