Boost Your Netbook’s Graphical Performance with the GMA Booster

May 1, 2009 21 Comments

Netbook chipsets more popularly known as Intel 945 features the same GMA 950 graphics are not really the best known graphic chipsets for notebooks. And I would have to agree that this is true with my Eee PC 1000HE when comparing its display with a regular laptop’s graphic performance. Now, there seems to be a solution to this graphics issue – that is a way to boost your netbook’s graphical performance.

UMPC Portal has stumbled upon a free program called GMA Booster. What this little program does is to boost up the graphics performance from the normal 133/166 MGz to 400MHz.  While doing this, the GMA Booster does not change your netbook’s voltage level, and neither does it push the clock speed to a level beyond its regular level.

UMPC Portal noted significant increased in graphic performance of a Sony Vaio P and HP Mini 1000 when the GMA Booster was tested on these machines. 

The GMA Booster works with various netbooks for as long they use the GMA 950 chipset. 

You may download the GMA Booster here.

    Mini-VGA? You have to be kidding?!?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_vga There is no excuse for not using Mini-DVI!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DVI

    It is a complete FAIL FAIL FAIL to use VGA after 2005. Period. End of story. If you disagree, you are uninformed.

    They do not have any form fo DVI (mini or not) or HDMI because the GMA950 does not support HDCP, whereas these other newer technologies do. Therefore Windows would automatically down convert all protected video(s) (DVDs, HDDVDs, Blueray, etc.) to 540p over DVI and HDMI anyway. VGA is not covered under HDCP, therefore they would rather step around the problem then fix it.

    P.S. With AnyDVDHD you can bypass the HDCP and play back protected content over VGA at a resolution higher than 540p. However 720p plays a little rough, 1080p is impossible unless you get a Broadcom BCM70012 PCIe H.264 decoder card. Then both play perfectly. Soon Adobe will implement a Flash player that takes advantage of the Broadcom card, which will be amazing.

    How about making a booster for GMA 500, or will I ever play anything in 3d? (that doesn’t lag like nobody’s business…)

    I have an Aspire One 10″, does this GMA also improve the graphics of photoshop and restaurant city (flash games in fcebook.com)

    Flash games rely main on the processor and not the GPU. Using the GMAbooster will NOT help you with flash games on Facebook. If you were to run Photoshop then it might go a bit smoother when you’re messing around with the graphics, but that’s about it.

    Wish they had more reviews on this. Like how would it effect the battery life and if using this long term would damage the netbook.
