X98 Plus Tricks/Tips

[COASTER19]

Here’s a video of mine running.  Most things are smooth, but not everything – particularly the task switcher and maximizing window animation.

[Gal]

Thanks you for the video COASTER19!

If it’s mainly the animations (and some caching issue like Nikos mentioned) , maybe disabling Win10 animation will make us all feel better? 🙂
Well, at least until (and if) a driver fix is available. Who needs animations anyway 🙂

Disabling animations

I would also check this article, could be useful for us:

Optimize Win10 for low end PCs

Nice one Gal! Looks promising not just for speeding up the system but even more for gaining space which we need on 64gb tablet.

[Gal]

Let me know the results later.. 🙂

Another issue interests me.. I own a DSLR and the 18MP JPEG photos it produces could be a bit heavy.
Could you please maybe download these 5 photos (original from the 60D) to a folder and try to view them in your photos viewer..?  Let me know if the swiping between them is smooth enough.

Thanks again!

[Peter]

Will probably try it later or when in need for extra space. I have Sony Alpha6000 which is 24MP and it loads pics without problem, but i downloaded the pics for you to be sure and it works without problem, CPU gets to 17 percent when switching between pics.

[Gal]

Amazing. Thank you !  So.. I just hope that GearBest won’t postpone the presale end date again so I can get mine asap.. It was January 11th, then they changed it to the 16th. I’ll know soon enough.

I tested some h265 videos in Full HD, they work really well with no lag using software decoding. I also tested 4k youtube video, result: no lag. The processor is not bad at all!!!

So it’s incredible that sometimes Windows 10 lags, there must be something wrong with the image provided by Teclast or with drivers.

[Gal]

Nikola, 4K smooth?  Great to hear!
I think the first thing I’ll do is disable animations, cortana, onedrive and the rest of the stuff in the link I provided before.

Anyone using this keyboard\case?

I had keybaord+case exactly like this on my X98 Pro. Both of them are very well made by high quality material. I strongly suggest this bundle for X98 Plus owners, as I ordered for myself too and it is on the way with my X98 Plus from Bangggood and is in customs now. I can take some pics when it arrived.

TAEL,
Sure, we would love some pictures.
I was curious about this case as sometimes (most of the time) I would like to just sit on the sofa and hold the tablet while folding back the case.  But in this case (literally), the front side cover is longer than the back..which means that even if folded back, you are left with an extra ~4 inches of “case”.  I don’t get how can it be folded back like the traditional cases like this one.   Maybe nonsense for other, but for now I just bought this one.

BTW, what happened to your PRO? :\

What video drivers are you using? I am on 20.19.15.4331, the latest drivers that I can see. 2015-11-18.

I had the intel update drivers installed but in device manager it updated to this driver.

Sure, I will take some pics and a video for more details. I guess it will be delivered tomorrow or Saturday (Friday is weekend and a non-working day in Iran).

And about Pro, It was a mess! I was dissatisfied because of many problems with that like software issues, poor battery life, etc. You can see how many problems people have with that device in Pro forum. So I decided to sell that to a person who said those problems are accepted for him.

Edit: Got it working, never mind. Thanks to the owner of this site for an excellent windows restore tutorial!
