I downloaded this utility and reset my video card latency to 32. It was at something over 200! That is unnecessary. Anyway, by doing so, I improved my framerates. Heathrow used to almost shut me down, and I flew there this morning with no problem. Give it a try?

Yeah, I guess it is. I'm not sure if the company shut it down because of all the downloads or what. Sorry.

Try this link. In the list you will see, go down to "PCI Latency Tool...." Click on that, and you will see the link for the zip file. Good luck.

I already downloaded the file, but if I run it, could it make some damage to my PC or video card or anything else?
I just ask to be sure before running it...
I have an NVidia GeForce4 MX440 and an onboard soundcard...
Thanks in advance!

No guarantees, as the readme file says. However, I have that video card as well, and no problems at all.

Hey Greg, I installed this thing and ran it and stuff..... it didn't improve my FPS, but it certainly improved my general performance, thanks for the hint....... DOUBT: what's the best latency number for my video card; when I installed the program, it was something over 282, I put it manually in 32, is this all right, how did you set it???
Thanks!

I set mine to 32, and that seems to work great. Glad it worked for you.

Great share ! Have also reduced to 032 and it is indeed smoother to run..though the images build up appears to be somewhat slower. An improvement indeed :-)
