Optimize T100 for gaming

[manelfera]

I myself don't use the Razer Game Booster, but yea the latest drivers for Intel Graphics I installed the same day when I got the laptop from the above link, and I have the one with the Z3775 processor, I seriously find it very good at games actually, cause I do it myself alot, like 'CS:GO', 'LOL', 'Dota 2', 'Bioshock', Fallout and tons of others you will be surprised how small this guy is and can actually handle most if tweaked properly through the Graphics settings.
Happy gaming!

Hi Caster,

Have you installed the drivers manually? I've installed Intel Driver Update Utility and checking for driver updates gives me the following result.

I've looked at Asus Support drivers download site to check if there is some related update but I didn't found nothing.
As you can see in my signature my processor is Z3740.
Do you recommend to manually update the driver from intel website? I'm only asking because I want a better (or slightly better) performance for some games.

Manel, it seem's Intel has changed it, in December it allowed me to download using that utility. Now it throws that message while doing an auto-check. I have the version '15.33.30.3958' which is of last year October. Looking at their website it does seem, there is an update of January 2015, I haven't tried that one yet but the previous one is running fine so far, i'll give it a go this week to see how it is, quite tempting to try the new one. If you wan't go for the manual way, as it seems since they changed, that's the only way so far available, and seeing Asus won't update anything for us on their official page other then Bios this should be the only way, ofcourse if it doesn't work out you can always roll-back to the driver from Asus.

Btw, I did notice from the screenshot you posted, your 'Action Center' has some drivers/issues/pending to be installed/maintained, you might wanna go and fix those, otherwise it might create other issues for you later on . It's the Flag Icon 2015-02-19 19_29_05-Optimize T100 for gaming - Page 2.png, next to your battery, round circle normally recommends driver updates or some maintenance tasks which needs to be done, a simple flag means no issues, keep an eye on it from time to time, the hover of mouse on it usually gives an overview of what it is.

And thank's again for the check, I have updated my previous post with these details to help new users.

Hi Caster,
Thanks for your response
Yesterday I completed all windows updates so I guess the flag icon should be related to windows defender database update, thanks for the tip.
Before updating manually the GFX driver should I create a restore point? Or is there any other utility to do this?

[Caster]

A restore point, should do the trick pretty much easily.

I've tried installing the latest version and the older available at intel site both ways they provide (exe and zip). The installation process states the same as the Intel Driver Update Utility. It redirects to a site at intel and following the procedure to install via device manager and updating the controller from there searching to my computer says that I have the latest driver installed. Looking at the release version numbers it's not true.

Maybe now we're stuck with when ASUS wants to deliver those updates? Which I guess it will be never :<
Have you tried to install the latest update, Caster?

EDIT: I've found this looking at intel community forums: https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-22542 Now I'm at work, so when I go home I'll give it a try.

Not yet Manel but very soon, I was gonna mention, the trick to apply a simple driver update won't work with us , we definitely, need to uninstall the previous then try the new one as stated in the new link you provided.

I just installed Driver 15.33.30.3958 (appears as 10.18.10.3958 in device manager after installation) using the uninstall driver/ manual install technique mentioned above.

Working fine so far and appears to have rectified flickering texture issues I was having while trying to play KOTOR 1. (had tried numerous ways to fix prior) Ill test a few more times to confirm improvement.

Havent tried the latest Intel driver 15.33.32.4061 yet.

UPDATE: Well Intel driver 15.33.30.3958 certainly has rectified the texture flickering issues I was having with KOTOR. It now seems very playable.

Hi there I am using the T100TAM and I did the manual uninstall and re install as well. I had version 10.18.10.3643 (the one that came installed with the T100TAM) and it was working fine but I decided to install the 10.18.10.4061 version to see if there was any improvement in FPS while gaming.

The new 4061 drivers worked well but I didn't really notice any improvement in the game I tried. I'm sure for some other game like KOTOR 1, it fixed an graphical issue. So everything was working find until a day later I tried to touch the screen while using it in tablet mode and I noticed the touch functionally was removed. I didn't uninstall anything besides the intel 3643 drivers. So I couldn't use the tablet for touch. Clearly that is unacceptable and I had to uninstall the 4061 driver and reinstall the older drivers found on Asus tech support sitehttps://www.asus.com/us/support/Down...OTSYtNTbh2/40/ I downloaded and installed the SOC Version V112 Driver Package and now everything is working well and touch functionally has been restored. I'm not gonna mess with the drivers anymore and just leave it as is.

Wonder if the touch screen issue was connected. About 2 weeks ago, prior to messing around with GFX drivers I lost touch screen. After some frustration I found in (Device Manager/Human Interface Devices) one of the driver in there was disabled due to some sort of windows conflict. I used right click and manually disabled it then enable. It restored touch screen and haven't had same problem since.
