Optimizing Speed for my System & Internet

Sylencer · Post by **Sylencer** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:55 pm

So i've just made an Account here to say i appreciate the work you put into your "Tools".

What i could need some help with is figuring out the PERFECT settings for my ISP & System, yeah perfect is just a word but i guess you got what i meant.

First of all im gonna list some of my System Specs :

Os : Win 10 x64 Home
Cpu : i4 4790k @ 4,4 Ghz (can handle alot)
Gpu : GTX 980 Palit Jetstream
MB : MSI Z97 Gaming 5 (onboard Lan controller - Killer E2200 )
Internet connection : Cable 50mbit (6,25 mb/s) - having hard time to squeeze out some kb above my average DL speed of 5,9-6mb/s. Is it even possible to get my missing 250 kb/s?

I've researched on the Internet for some tips and tricks for TCP optimizer, but none of them were for win 10. So i just took a look into the FAQ or whatever it's called. Taking the recommended settings.
But im still unsure if they were correct. What i also noticed is that some of the settings get reverted after restart. They get set back to "default". Not all but some in the first tab.

Would appreciate any kind of help

P.S. If i shall attach some Screens of my current Settings - I'll upload or link them immediately.

A couple of the settings in the TCP Optimizer under Windows 10 are the same for default/optimal. Also, there are some settings that are Network-adapter specific, and they are not read at program start, that's why they may show as "default".

If you applied the "optimal" settings in the program, you've covered all the basic tweaks. You may not be able to get those last 5% of your speed. Remember that your residential broadband is shared/oversubscribed line, and there is protocol overhead (headers) and many factors on the line affecting the actual performance. If you are getting 90+% of the maximum advertised speed you should be happy with the results.

Just my 2c.

Have you tried the latest version ? The "Optimal" settings should be enough generally.

Since 4.0.3 must've been updated recently so i haven't tried the latest version yet. Is there a changelog somewhere? I personally prefer to use the recommendations from the site itself than relying on what a program "thinks" is optimal settings, considering it would enable ecn capability and some other stuff which is recommended to turn off atleast thats whats written in the faq so i assume it also applies for my win 10/lan adapter. You can correct me if im wrong

*Edit : Found to changelog, but it doesn't seem to have any impact for me in the settings at all, it should only fix visual stuff.
