Need Help with Keyclone PIP feature

I am running 5 clients PIP with maximizer enabled. I have them set to basicl fit the whole screen so its kinda like full screen. It works great but I notice after running it for bit it takes quite a long time to switch between clients. I press my hotkey clone 1 and it will switch clone 1 to maximized screen like I have it set but it delays for quite a while sometimes. I notice I can just click the bottom of the properties bar and click on the window itself and it would switch instantly. Is there anyway to make PIP switch a little quicker? I know its possible for my comp to switch quicker because normally I run window mode and just manually switch between clients myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's more than likely your computer struggling to make the change than the software. What is your computer spec?

i'm guessing it's system memory related

Your right it is. I went through and set all clones to run MAXFPSBK to 8 and FPS to 28 and it has never ran smoother.
My specs are as follows


AMD PHENOM 9800
2 GB pc3/8500 High performance Low latenc memory
500g HDD SATA 300, 32 MB Buffer
8800 GTS Ultra 750mb Graphics

It runs super smooth now with max resolution and max Graphics after changing the MAXFPSBK from 5-8 and the MAXFPS from 60 to 28. AT 28 i get super smooth resolution and its a bit faster switching between clones. I went ahead and ordered another gig of memory though which should help a ton I would imagine.

the other thing you could do would be to drop your resolution a bit. this would reduce the number of pixels you are trying to push tp the screen (which is the same as reducing your fps). by reducing the res, you might be able to get more fps on your main... but you would have to re-define your maximizer layout

Could you explain please? I know i set my resolution in game to 1680x1050 and when I use maximizer it changes my ingame resolution to 800x600 but althought it says that im not sure that is my actual resolution. Could you explain to me what you mean by changing it properly in maximizer. How would I set this up right to increase my fps and performance.


EDIT: Keep in mind I have a 22" Widescreen LCD and I don't want my screen stretched looking.

by resolution of the screen... i mean the video settings your graphics card is set to. right-click your windows desktop and select properties/settings and see what it says for the current setting of 'screen resolution'

as for in game, if you are using the keyclone maximizer, don't mess with the game video settings, as that could jump your game res a bit.

Oh ok, thanks so much man, that really makes sense now and man it helped a ton. I love keyclone, your service is astounding. Great product and great service. Thanks a ton!!!



EDIT

Ok, After trying it for a bit, it was too much to handle. Increased performance but the resolution was all grainy and stretched. Not sure if i was doing something wrong but it looked horrible and I would have to change my desktop back to widescreen after playing just to browse internet with comfort. Any more suggestions?

ah.. i see. it was just a thought

Order 2 gigs of High performance memory last night, had it shipped overnight and it got here earlier today. I can now run PIP not only flawless and fast but also do it perfect while running around in Shat with max graphics now. Not even a stutter in fps. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped me out. I appreciate it.

excellent! that's just schweeet to hear.

got any shots of your screen all maximized? (it's eye candy.. but i like checking it out all on one box)
