Cainiao Manual: Analysis of Reasons Why 3D games are not playing well

If you randomly hold ten new users at the gate of the Computer City and ask them what they want to buy a new computer, I believe more than half of them will answer "Play Games ". Especially for a large number of students and computers, the time used to play games far exceeds the time used to learn and organize materials. Even for family users, there are also many people playing cards or Mahjong together, or playing FLASH games and even watching games on their computers. No matter how old or younger people are, if you have a computer, you can find your favorite game on it. It is absolutely no problem to entertain yourself.
On the other hand, with the development of hardware technology, 3D games are becoming more and more popular. for stand-alone games, online games, and online games, the degree of 3D development is getting higher and higher, the pace of 3D development is faster and faster, and more people are interested in and want to play 3D games. However, there is always a distance between the ideal and the reality. For ordinary users, even a newly installed computer won't necessarily be able to play 3D games, but also depends on the overall configuration of the host. As for old machines, there are more problems when playing 3D games. In the face of these problems, many friends who do not know much about computers are quite confused. They do not know where the problem is and how to solve it.
Today, I plan to give you a detailed analysis based on the specific cases. You are not playing well when you are playing 3D games. The specific problem is where. Because these problems are usually related to hardware accessories, they are hard to solve, rather than upgrading the drivers and programs. Therefore, after finding the problem, how to upgrade the hardware is expected to solve the problem. I will introduce the solution based on specific cases.
Frame by frame! Playing 3D games is like playing slides.
After a user installs a 3D Game and enters the game normally, the user finds that the game is not running smoothly and the images are not smooth at all, just like a POWERPOINT slide, a frame, a card, and a card are not allowed to perform any operations on the game. In the face of such a situation, many players are helpless and do not know how to solve it. In fact, the reason for such a situation is mainly related to the platform of the player's computer. This may not be a component issue, but a matter of the entire host platform.
Instance analysis: when the game effect is the same as that of a slideshow, it is mainly related to the overall platform performance of the host. If you use a host that uses an integrated motherboard (with a graphics card) to play new 3D games, or use an old machine a few years ago to run mainstream 3D games, this is especially true for some large standalone 3D games. It can be said that the overall performance of the host may not reach the minimum configuration required by the game, let alone the recommended configuration. I have seen some people who want to use a M memory and use 845GL to play World of Warcraft and Star Wars on Eve with the old computer of old saeyang. The results show slides. This is directly related to the unsatisfactory overall performance of the host.
Solution: players can do three things. One is to upgrade the computer, the other is to buy a new computer suitable for playing 3D games, and the third is to give up the game. If you select the first solution, that is, to upgrade your computer, you may need to replace the Main Board (graphics card), CPU, memory, power supply, and other accessories. If your computer has been running for more than three years, consider upgrading it. If it is more than five years, it is best to buy a new one directly. The upgrade doesn't make much sense. The price is not much lower than buying a new computer. Finally, we would like to remind you that to play 3D games, Whether installed or upgraded, it is best not to use the integrated motherboard. Motherboard manufacturers boast about how powerful the performance of onboard graphics cards is, but in fact such graphics cards are not suitable for playing 3D games at all. A game player chooses an integrated motherboard to save money, which may fail in minutes.
Always wait! I often read my hard drive when playing 3D games.
Nearly two or three years, a variety of 3D games can be said to be bigger and bigger, motionless need a few G hard disk space, with DVD-ROM as a carrier of the game is also growing. When running these games, it usually takes some time to read a large number of files from the hard disk. This time is what players usually call "LOADING ". As for the length of "LOADING", it is really different from the machine, and it is a little slow. Someone once told me that it took him more than five minutes to start the game and enter the actual running picture of the game. Some games were even longer than five minutes. In addition, when "LOADING" is completed and you start playing games, you often need to read the hard disk. Every time you read the hard disk, you have to start to wait. This is depressing.
Example Analysis: "I have waited for the flowers to thank you," is a song that many game players often sing when reading hard disks in the game "LOADING" and the game. Although the game can continue after "LOADING" and after reading the hard disk, it takes a long time to wait for each time, which is indeed a very unpleasant thing. The cause of this phenomenon is generally related to the two key accessories of the player's computer, which are memory and hard disk. If the memory capacity is too small, the hard disk speed is too slow, the cache is too small, and the interface standard is too old, it will lead to the game's "LOADING" time is too long, or the game often needs to read the hard disk. I used to play WOW in an Internet cafe with a M memory computer. As a result, I had to read the hard disk for a long time before entering the game. after entering the game, I had to read the hard disk almost every few steps, it is quite boring.
Solution: In terms of memory, even if the operating system runs ipves XP for MB, it will "LOADING" for a long time and read the hard disk from time to time, let alone play 3D games. If you are still using one hundred M to run the game, desktop or notebook, I strongly suggest you spend 512 yuan to buy another M memory, so that the total memory capacity reaches M, in this way, running windows xp will be much smoother, and the "LOADING" of the game will be shortened, and the number of disk reads in the game will be effectively reduced. Of course, if you want to play 3D games smoothly, 1 GB memory is essential. The upgrade to m or 1G is determined based on the user's own economic situation and the motherboard's support for memory.
Hard Disk, if you are still using 5400 to ATA33/66 small hard disk to play the game, it is best to upgrade the hard disk to 7200 to ATA100 or S-ATA interface products. In addition, 8 m or even 16 m cached hard disks are definitely faster than 2 m cached disks, which can be seen in the game, because 8 m cached hard disks are only 30 or 40 yuan more expensive than 2 m disks, I suggest those who want to play games should try to upgrade 8 m cached hard disks. To the IDE or S-ATA, the problem is not very big, see your motherboard support.
Not smooth enough! Angle Rotation and position scaling are paused.
In today's 3D games, as long as the engine is not too backward, you can achieve 360 degrees of angle rotation and position scaling. I believe that as long as you have played 3D games, we will have a more intuitive understanding of this. However, although the game provides such an image function, it depends on the performance of the player's computer. Good computers, horizontal and vertical 360-degree angle rotation, and conversion from a remote perspective to a near-angle view are all very smooth and fast. However, on some poorly configured computers, although the above-mentioned perspective conversion can also be completed, it is obvious that there are some cards in the operation, not smooth enough, making people really unhappy. In this regard, some players choose to continue to endure and some choose to solve the problem.
Example Analysis: this problem is actually related to the computer's speed in processing image data. Among all the computer accessories, the most closely related to the speed of processing image data is the CPU and video card, in fact, they play the most critical role in the operation of 3D games. When playing some 3D FPS games, the performance of CPU and video card can be quite obvious, because these games have high requirements on CPU and video card performance. If the CPU and video card do not meet the game's Hardware requirements, it is normal to have a pause and a card. If the video card and motherboard driver are updated, and the latest DX version is installed, the angle switch will still pause and card, that means your CPU and video card cannot meet the needs of the game.
Solution: Relatively speaking, it is easier to upgrade the video card than to upgrade the CPU, because upgrading the CPU almost means that the motherboard, or even the memory and video card should be replaced for the upgrade, after all, the new CPU architecture has changed from the old CPU used previously. In most cases, the old and new architectures are incompatible. In this way, the cost of upgrading the CPU is usually higher than that of upgrading the video card. It can be said that directly upgrading the video card is one of the shortcuts to solve the poor running effect of 3D games, and the effect is quite obvious.
However, after the upgrade of the graphics card, it is best to choose to determine the computer with the motherboard, for the graphics card support problems, such as there is no AGP 8X or PCI-E 16X slot and so on. If there is, the problem is much simpler, AGP to get a 300 or 400 yuan R9550, PCI-E to get a 500 or 600 yuan 7300GT, basically can solve the problem. Of course, the performance of R9550 is completely different from that of GF7300GT. Currently, there are not many good performance card cards on the market. If you don't want to waste money on The AGP, upgrade the entire host platform to the PCI-E, upgrade the CPU, motherboard and power supply together, it is worth considering.
It's always slow! 3D online games often experience latency.
When playing a 3D Internet cafe or a 3D online game, it is often the case that the player has pressed the keyboard or mouse and issued various commands to the game role, the game role does not immediately make relevant actions, but it takes a few seconds or longer to respond, at this time, the player may have made the second or third action instruction, which is commonly known as the "delay" phenomenon. For those who often play 3D online games, they should feel quite straightforward.
Instance analysis: Generally, the main cause of "delay" is the network environment and network resources. Do not think that using a better network card, such as a gigabit network card, will greatly improve the network connection speed. In general, the advantage of a good Nic is the stability of network connection, system compatibility, and speed of network connection. It is generally related to the network environment and ISP provider resources. If the broadband access you are using is Telecom, and the network game you are playing is deployed on the Network of China Netcom, or the two are the opposite, then there is a "delay" when you play online games, it is quite normal. In addition, online games are used in Internet cafes. If the Internet cafe has a good business and many people are using computers, the network speed may decrease due to insufficient network resources. Therefore, they can directly guide the 3D network for a better experience, it becomes understandable.
Solution: avoid cross-network service providers playing online games as much as possible, which can effectively solve the "latency" phenomenon. If you must use broadband access from China Telecom to play online games on Netcom servers, you can consider using game proxy servers. Many websites now provide such a feature. Of course, this service is billed on a monthly or quarterly basis. In addition, selecting bandwidth-intensive broadband access can also effectively solve the problem of "latency" in 3D network acceleration. However, the higher the bandwidth, the higher the fee, the more players must consider and adjust it again.
