How to Fully Optimize Windows 11 For Gaming — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Whether you just switched to Windows 11
2. 0:01or feel like your computer is running
3. 0:03slower than it should be, this is the
4. 0:05video for you. I've made many highly
5. 0:07rated optimization guides and tested
6. 0:09every one of these tweaks across
7. 0:11multiple desktops, laptops, and even
8. 0:13tablets using both Intel and AMD CPUs
9. 0:16and Nvidia AMD and Intel GPUs. And by
10. 0:19the end of this video, you will get
11. 0:20better FPS, lower input delay, and an
12. 0:23overall more responsive system without
13. 0:25having to spend money to upgrade your
14. 0:27PC. Let's start with the basics, the
15. 0:29essential Windows optimizations that I
16. 0:30do on every PC, regardless of the specs.
17. 0:33First, we're going to create our restore
18. 0:35point by pressing your Windows key,
19. 0:36typing in create, and pressing enter.
20. 0:38This way, if for some reason anything
21. 0:40goes wrong as you follow this video, you
22. 0:42can use this restore point to revert any
23. 0:44changes you've made. So, click on
24. 0:45configure, select turn on system
25. 0:47protection, and click okay. Now that
26. 0:49that's enabled, click create, give it a
27. 0:51name, and click on create again. And
28. 0:52shortly after, it should tell you that a
29. 0:54restore point has been created
30. 0:56successfully. So if something ever ends
31. 0:58up going wrong with your system, you can
32. 0:59simply use this restore point. After
33. 1:01you've created that restore point, you
34. 1:02can safely move on to the first
35. 1:04essential Windows optimizations, game
36. 1:06mode, OFWG, and hags. So press your
37. 1:09Windows key, type in game mode, press
38. 1:10enter to go into the game mode settings,
39. 1:12and enable game mode. In very basic
40. 1:14terms, it improves your stability by
41. 1:16making your CPU and GPU focus more on
42. 1:18foreground tasks like your game instead
43. 1:20of background tasks. In the same area,
44. 1:22click on graphics, then change default
45. 1:24graphics settings and enable
46. 1:26optimizations for windowed games. In
47. 1:28DX10 and DX11 games like Fortnite, this
48. 1:30setting allows you to use windowed full
49. 1:32screen while maintaining similar input
50. 1:34delay to exclusive full screen. If you
51. 1:35see hardware accelerated GPU scheduling
52. 1:37or hags here as well, I also recommend
53. 1:39turning that on. As a brief explanation,
54. 1:41GPU scheduling is normally done entirely
55. 1:43on the CPU, but with this on, the GPU
56. 1:46can schedule tasks for itself, which can
57. 1:48boost your average FPS and 1% lows, as
58. 1:50well as decrease your input latency
59. 1:52depending on the game. And obviously,
60. 1:53you're going to see the biggest
61. 1:54difference in CPU intensive games like
62. 1:56Fortnite and Counter-Strike now that the
63. 1:58CPU has less to do. However, you might
64. 2:00not see a performance impact in
65. 2:02primarily GPU intensive games, and at
66. 2:04worst, it can cause system instability
67. 2:05and stutters. but turn it back off if
68. 2:07you notice any of the mentioned issues
69. 2:09because again it depends entirely on the
70. 2:11games you play. Next, we're going to
71. 2:12disable core isolation. While Microsoft
72. 2:15has made improvements, independent
73. 2:16testing continues to show that memory
74. 2:18integrity, which uses
75. 2:19virtualizationbased security or VPS, can
76. 2:22cause between 2 to 5% less performance
77. 2:24in games. For a gaming PC, disabling
78. 2:26this could measurably increase your FPS.
79. 2:28And as long as you have Windows Defender
80. 2:30enabled or some other trusted antivirus,
81. 2:32you'll be more than fine. To disable it,
82. 2:34press your Windows key, type in core,
83. 2:36press enter, and toggle memory integrity
84. 2:38off. I recommend leaving everything else
85. 2:40alone as they don't make noticeable
86. 2:41performance impacts while keeping your
87. 2:42PC safer. However, you will need to
88. 2:44restart your PC to apply this change.
89. 2:46Now that you've disabled core isolation,
90. 2:48let's clean up your Windows bloatware by
91. 2:50using the latest version of the most
92. 2:51trusted debloating tool, the Chris Titus
93. 2:53Tech DBLOW utility. It's safe, super
94. 2:55userfriendly, and doesn't require a full
95. 2:57installation. So, even though you can
96. 2:58technically do all of this manually,
97. 3:00this will save you a ton of time and
98. 3:02headaches. So to run this utility on
99. 3:04your PC, press the Windows key, type
100. 3:06PowerShell, then click run as
101. 3:07administrator. This will not work
102. 3:09without admin privileges. Next, copy and
103. 3:11paste the first line from the
104. 3:12description and press enter. Make sure
105. 3:14you got the full line, not just the
106. 3:15link. In a few moments, a window similar
107. 3:17to this should pop up. When it does open
108. 3:19up, we're going to go straight to the
109. 3:20tweaks tab at the top. From here, in
110. 3:22essential tweaks, you can copy the left
111. 3:24side if you're on a desktop, and if
112. 3:25you're on a laptop or portable device,
113. 3:27copy the right side. But I still
114. 3:29recommend that you hover your mouse over
115. 3:31each tweak and read their description so
116. 3:32that you know exactly what everything
117. 3:34does. Moving on to the advanced tweaks
118. 3:36section. These are all technically safe
119. 3:38to use, but accidentally checking the
120. 3:39wrong ones will genuinely ruin your
121. 3:41Windows 11 experience. So here's what I
122. 3:43would do personally. First, I like to
123. 3:45leave Adobe Network Block unchecked so I
124. 3:47can actually use Adobe websites
125. 3:49properly. Adobe DBLow is perfectly fine
126. 3:51to use though. It will not affect your
127. 3:52experience using any of their apps. I
128. 3:54also recommend against checking set
129. 3:55display to performance because it makes
130. 3:57everything look like trash. We'll
131. 3:59manually adjust this later in the video
132. 4:00for better performance, but also not
133. 4:02ruining your Windows 11 experience.
134. 4:04Additionally, I highly recommend against
135. 4:06removing all Microsoft Store apps as it
136. 4:08completely removes useful apps like the
137. 4:09snipping tool, which I use all the time
138. 4:11to take screenshots. Once you're
139. 4:13satisfied with your selection of tweaks,
140. 4:14click run tweaks at the bottom. And
141. 4:16after a few minutes, depending on how
142. 4:17many tweaks you selected, this window
143. 4:19will pop up saying tweaks are finished.
144. 4:21So, you can close everything off. Next,
145. 4:22we're going to take a look at the power
146. 4:24plants because they can have a massive
147. 4:25impact on your performance. To find your
148. 4:27power plants, press the Windows key,
149. 4:29type power, and hit enter to open the
150. 4:30power options. Here is where you will
151. 4:32definitely want to spend 6 or 7 minutes
152. 4:34doing some quick and easy testing for
153. 4:36yourself because some of you may get
154. 4:37better results using different power
155. 4:39plants. Regardless, I'm going to show
156. 4:40you how to add a power plan called the
157. 4:42ultimate performance power plan, which
158. 4:44typically works the best on mid to
159. 4:45high-end gaming PCs. By default, the
160. 4:47ultimate power plan is nowhere to be
161. 4:49seen. So to get it, open command prompt
162. 4:51as administrator. Copy and paste this
163. 4:53line from the description and hit enter.
164. 4:54When you refresh the power options by
165. 4:56backing out and going back in. The new
166. 4:58power plan will show up in the
167. 4:59additional plans and you can select it.
168. 5:01To test different power plans out, it's
169. 5:02very easy because you don't have to
170. 5:04restart your PC after changing it. So it
171. 5:06barely takes any time to test all four
172. 5:08main power plans. All you have to do is
173. 5:10run a benchmark for your favorite game
174. 5:11using each plan and see which one gets
175. 5:13the best performance for you. For most
176. 5:15of you, that's going to be the ultimate
177. 5:16power plan that we added. But for some,
178. 5:18maybe sticking to the balance plan will
179. 5:19work the best. Whatever the case is, you
180. 5:21can now game happily knowing that you
181. 5:23picked the best power plan for you. Next
182. 5:25up are the Nvidia GPU optimizations. AMD
183. 5:27users, you can skip to the next chapter
184. 5:29of the video. Now, I often hear people
185. 5:31say that tweaking the Nvidia control
186. 5:32panel doesn't make a real difference,
187. 5:34but even Nvidia's own guys will tell you
188. 5:36that that isn't true. And from my own
189. 5:38testing, the performance boost you gain
190. 5:39just by spending a minute changing these
191. 5:41settings is undeniable. To open NVCP,
192. 5:44right click on your desktop and click on
193. 5:46Nvidia Control Panel. If this is your
194. 5:48first time, it's going to ask you to
195. 5:49agree to some terms and conditions, but
196. 5:51after agreeing to that, it will bring
197. 5:52you to this page. On this page, find
198. 5:54manage 3D settings on the left side of
199. 5:56the window, and we're going to change
200. 5:57eight of these to increase your
201. 5:59performance. The first three of eight
202. 6:00that I'm going to talk about are pretty
203. 6:01much always going to give you better
204. 6:03performance if you change them from
205. 6:04their default settings. Starting with
206. 6:05the OpenGL rendering GPU, just set that
207. 6:07to whatever GPU you want to use while
208. 6:09gaming. This is key for certain OpenGL
209. 6:11games, software, and emulation. It just
210. 6:13prevents Windows from using the wrong
211. 6:15GPU, which doesn't happen often, but
212. 6:17when it does, you'll wish you changed
213. 6:18this setting earlier. The second one
214. 6:20that everyone should change is
215. 6:21increasing your shader cache size to 10
216. 6:23GB. The reason we use 10 GB is because
217. 6:25if the driver default is, let's say, 4
218. 6:27GB and you fill that up, your PC is
219. 6:30going to start deleting shaders to free
220. 6:31up space for new ones. Meaning that if
221. 6:33you ever go back into an area in the
222. 6:35game where you needed that deleted
223. 6:36shader again, your game could stutter.
224. 6:38Why not switch it to 100, you might be
225. 6:40asking? Well, unless you're benchmarking
226. 6:42literally thousands of games every week.
227. 6:44Uh, you're never even going to get close
228. 6:45to using 100 gigabytes. I can promise
229. 6:47you that. And finally, the last setting
230. 6:49that everyone should change is turning
231. 6:51vertical sync off. All this setting does
232. 6:52is eliminate screen tearing while
233. 6:54destroying your latency. So, definitely
234. 6:56keep it off for a better experience.
235. 6:58These next five settings depend on both
236. 6:59your system configuration as well as
237. 7:01personal preferences. So, change these
238. 7:03settings accordingly. Anti-aliasing
239. 7:05gamma correction doesn't come at any
240. 7:06performance cost, but you may want to
241. 7:08turn it off for sharper edges, making it
242. 7:10easier to make out objects in
243. 7:11competitive games. Or you might want to
244. 7:13leave it on for more accurate images in
245. 7:15your single player games. But again,
246. 7:16this doesn't affect your FPS, so it's
247. 7:18purely about personal preference. Next
248. 7:20is arguably the most important setting
249. 7:22for competitive gamers, low latency
250. 7:24mode. Because, as you could probably
251. 7:25expect, it makes a huge difference on
252. 7:27latency, but can come at the cost of
253. 7:28your FPS on lower-end hardware. Now,
254. 7:30here's the most important part. If your
255. 7:32game supports Nvidia Reflex, you should
256. 7:34enable Reflex in the game settings.
257. 7:36Reflex is a smarter, more advanced
258. 7:38technology that does the same job, but
259. 7:39more efficiently, and it will
260. 7:41automatically override this control
261. 7:42panel setting. However, if your game
262. 7:44does not support Reflex or you do not
263. 7:46use it, be sure to try changing this to
264. 7:48on or ultra. Just be aware that ultra
265. 7:50can be more demanding on your components
266. 7:52and can affect your FPS negatively in
267. 7:54some CPU intensive games, and you will
268. 7:55have to restart your game to apply these
269. 7:57changes. Something that can affect your
270. 7:59FPS extremely positively is switching
271. 8:01your power management mode to prefer
272. 8:02maximum performance. Based on my
273. 8:04testing, this setting alone is super
274. 8:06good for increasing your 1% lows, but
275. 8:08outside of that, it really doesn't do
276. 8:10much. Clock speeds, temperatures,
277. 8:12everything else stays pretty much about
278. 8:14the same. Basically, turn this on for
279. 8:16the most consistent gaming experience.
280. 8:18But if you're on a laptop or use your PC
281. 8:19for a lot of browsing or lowintensity
282. 8:22tasks, you'll probably have more success
283. 8:23if you leave this on normal. For the
284. 8:25last two settings, you want to decrease
285. 8:27your texture filtering quality down to
286. 8:28high performance. With this setting on
287. 8:30high performance, I saw improvements
288. 8:32across the board in basically every
289. 8:33game. And for anotropic sample
290. 8:35optimization, I definitely recommend
291. 8:37individually testing this one from the
292. 8:38other settings because it's a little bit
293. 8:40of a mixed bag. Like in Rocket League,
294. 8:42for example, having it off is actually
295. 8:44better. And to wrap things up, you
296. 8:45should always feel free to tweak these
297. 8:47based on your specific needs. And there
298. 8:48is also a very accessible reset to
299. 8:50default button as well. For AMD users,
300. 8:52these GPU optimizations not only boosted
301. 8:54my 1% lows significantly, but also
302. 8:57reduced my RAM and VRAM usage by an
303. 8:59entire gigabyte each. So, if you want
304. 9:01results like these, start, of course, by
305. 9:03opening up your AMD software. Click the
306. 9:04settings cog at the top right, then
307. 9:06click on preferences. Disable absolutely
308. 9:08everything so you don't have stupid
309. 9:10overlays running in the background. Same
310. 9:12thing with the hotkeys, unless you use
311. 9:13them, of course. Next, click on gaming,
312. 9:15then graphics. This is where we're going
313. 9:16to make the most changes. On texture
314. 9:18filtering quality, change it from
315. 9:20standard to performance to prioritize
316. 9:21performance over image quality. If you
317. 9:23find that it makes your game look worse,
318. 9:25change it back. Surface format
319. 9:26optimization is the main reason why I
320. 9:28get significantly less VRAM usage with
321. 9:30my optimized settings. So, definitely
322. 9:32turn this on, especially if you play
323. 9:34VRAMm hungry games, because it'll
324. 9:36literally allow you to use higher
325. 9:37quality settings if you ran into low
326. 9:39memory issues before. For tessellation
327. 9:41mode, leave it alone if you mainly play
328. 9:42single player games. But for comp
329. 9:44sweats, we're going to override the
330. 9:45settings and set our maximum
331. 9:46tessellation level to off. And that's it
332. 9:48for that. Time for a quick sweep through
333. 9:50the settings app to disable
334. 9:51non-essential features. And
335. 9:53unfortunately, even if you've done this
336. 9:54before, Windows updates will silently
337. 9:56reenable some of these settings behind
338. 9:58your back. For example, I literally
339. 10:00turned all of this off in the last
340. 10:01Windows optimization guide I made, and
341. 10:03somehow they got turned on again. So
342. 10:04yeah, treat this more as a checklist so
343. 10:06you know your PC is running the settings
344. 10:07you want it to. Let's begin by opening
345. 10:09the settings app by pressing Windows
346. 10:11plus I. Starting with the system
347. 10:12settings, click on system on the left,
348. 10:14then notifications. As I've said before,
349. 10:16notifications themselves don't
350. 10:18measurably affect your performance.
351. 10:19Maybe like a kilobyte of RAM and a
352. 10:21fraction of a percent of your CPU. But
353. 10:23the processes that manage the
354. 10:24notifications definitely can affect your
355. 10:26performance. So, to avoid any of this
356. 10:28hassle and to not be bothered during
357. 10:29your very intense gaming sessions, you
358. 10:31should disable notifications. On the
359. 10:33left, click on Bluetooth and services.
360. 10:35There's a minuscule chance that having
361. 10:36Bluetooth could affect your Wi-Fi or USB
362. 10:38connections. And although that's never
363. 10:40happened to me, there's still no point
364. 10:41in enabling Bluetooth unless you're
365. 10:43actively using it. Then click on
366. 10:44personalization on the left, then
367. 10:46dynamic lighting. If you didn't know,
368. 10:48this is basically a background app that
369. 10:49manages your RGB lighting, which can
370. 10:51conflict with other RGB software. Turn
371. 10:53these two settings off unless you use
372. 10:54it. Now, go to apps, advanced app
373. 10:56settings, share across devices, and turn
374. 10:58it off unless for some reason you need
375. 10:59it on. Next, go back to apps and click
376. 11:01on startup apps. Don't feel pressured
377. 11:03like you need to disable everything.
378. 11:04Even I have quite a few on. But if
379. 11:07there's anything that you don't want to
380. 11:08open on startup, you should turn those
381. 11:10off. Now, click on accessibility
382. 11:11settings on the left. Go to visual
383. 11:13effects and disable both transparency
384. 11:15and animation effects. While this
385. 11:17matters less if you're in the minority
386. 11:18and play games on exclusive full screen
387. 11:20instead of windowed full screen, this is
388. 11:22still a set it and forget it type of
389. 11:23thing, so you should probably just
390. 11:24disable it. Continuing with privacy and
391. 11:26security settings, quickly go through
392. 11:28every subsection, beginning with general
393. 11:30all the way down to diagnostics and
394. 11:31feedback for better privacy and
395. 11:33security. Uh, you might be wondering
396. 11:34where activity history went. We usually
397. 11:36always talk about that in these types of
398. 11:38videos, but they actually remove those
399. 11:39settings as of October 2025. Anyways,
400. 11:42like I always say, you should always
401. 11:43read up on what everything does in case
402. 11:45you do want to leave some of these on.
403. 11:46But yeah, definitely turn most of these
404. 11:48off. Moving on to the search tab,
405. 11:49formerly search permissions, have
406. 11:51everything off, but definitely enable
407. 11:53enhanced file searching. If you don't
408. 11:54have an absolute potato PC with a one
409. 11:56core CPU, you should use enhanced. But
410. 11:59at the end of the day, it's up to you.
411. 12:00Finally, for the last section in the
412. 12:02settings, find Windows update on the
413. 12:03left, click advanced options and have
414. 12:05these four things off to keep Bill Gates
415. 12:06from breaking into your house and
416. 12:08stealing your cookies. Then go to
417. 12:09delivery optimization and turn off allow
418. 12:11downloads from other devices. By turning
419. 12:13this off, you just made sure that your
420. 12:15Windows updates come directly from
421. 12:16Microsoft servers instead of other
422. 12:18people's devices. You also potentially
423. 12:20increase your update speeds and
424. 12:22prevented your PC from sending your data
425. 12:23to other random people on the internet.
426. 12:25Now, we're going to disable some
427. 12:26advanced system settings. And
428. 12:27ironically, these are very simple to
429. 12:29change. Now, I'll be honest, this isn't
430. 12:31going to give you a big FPS boost like
431. 12:32some of the other tweaks we did, but
432. 12:34it's still worth doing to free up some
433. 12:35CPU and RAM cycles in under 30 seconds.
434. 12:38If that sounds good to you, press your
435. 12:39Windows key and type view advanced, then
436. 12:41enter. Under performance, click on
437. 12:43settings. Simply click adjust for best
438. 12:45performance, but reenable show
439. 12:46thumbnails instead of icons, show window
440. 12:48contents while dragging, and smooth
441. 12:50edges of screen fonts. This will keep
442. 12:52Windows 11 looking mostly the same, but
443. 12:54frees up some CPU and RAM cycles. Now
444. 12:56for the registry editor tweaks. And yes,
445. 12:58you are looking at 23.7% better 1% lows
446. 13:02just from these few tweaks. So do not
447. 13:03skip this part. To open up the registry
448. 13:05editor, press your Windows key, type in
449. 13:07regedit, and open it as an admin. Now,
450. 13:09because these are going to be some of
451. 13:10the most impactful settings we're going
452. 13:12to change in this video, it is crucial
453. 13:14that we export our registry. This way,
454. 13:16if you run into any issues or want to
455. 13:18try different values, all you would have
456. 13:19to do is use the registry file you just
457. 13:21created. So yeah, just click on file,
458. 13:23export, and boom, it's that easy. For
459. 13:25the first tweak, select this text up
460. 13:27here, replace it with this line from the
461. 13:29description, and press enter. If done
462. 13:31correctly, you will automatically get to
463. 13:32this folder. This is also how we're
464. 13:34going to get to every folder in the
465. 13:35section of the video. Then, double click
466. 13:37on scheduling category and change the
467. 13:39string value to high. And yes,
468. 13:40capitalization does matter. This will
469. 13:42also cause your computer to treat your
470. 13:44priority value as if it was set to two,
471. 13:45regardless of what you do to it. And
472. 13:47until Microsoft updates their
473. 13:48documentation from earlier this year on
474. 13:50July 14th, 2025, GPU priority and SFIO
475. 13:53priority values still do nothing. So,
476. 13:55you're fully optimized here. The second
477. 13:57regret tweak we're going to do is change
478. 13:58the wind32 priority separation value.
479. 14:01The number you set here controls how
480. 14:02Windows splits CPU resources between
481. 14:04foreground apps, your game for example,
482. 14:06and background tasks. Now, Windows tries
483. 14:08to keep things balanced by default, so
484. 14:10this tweak will make the CPU focus more
485. 14:12on the game. So, copy and paste this
486. 14:13line from the description into the
487. 14:15address bar and hit enter. Double click
488. 14:17win32 priority separation. There are
489. 14:19three things that you can change in
490. 14:20here. Depending on the number you put by
491. 14:21setting this to a value of 26, you're
492. 14:24going to get the best possible
493. 14:25responsiveness and boost the priority of
494. 14:27your foreground tasks. However, you
495. 14:28should definitely take the time to test
496. 14:29this one individually from any of the
497. 14:31other tweaks in this video. So, if
498. 14:33you're not getting the results you want
499. 14:34with 26, try some of these other values
500. 14:36which are widely considered to be good.
501. 14:38And remember, you have to restart your
502. 14:39PC every single time you change this
503. 14:41value. I promise you it's worth your
504. 14:42time, though. Now, let's optimize your
505. 14:43internet a little bit by disabling
506. 14:45network throttling. For some of you,
507. 14:46this may give you lower ping and more
508. 14:48consistent connection, but for others,
509. 14:49this might actually do the exact
510. 14:51opposite. I've never had issues with
511. 14:53this across any of my devices, but
512. 14:55regardless, this is a setting that you
513. 14:56should test individually from the others
514. 14:58because it could be problematic for some
515. 15:00of you. Anyways, copy and paste this
516. 15:01path from the description. If you don't
517. 15:03see a value called network throttling
518. 15:04index in this folder, don't worry. As
519. 15:06long as you are in the correct folder,
520. 15:08just right click on an empty space,
521. 15:10click new, and then dword 32-bit value
522. 15:12and name it network throttling index.
523. 15:14Capitalization is once again very
524. 15:16important. To disable it, double click
525. 15:18your newly created value and set it to
526. 15:19hexodimal FF FF FF FFF. That's 8 Fs. If
527. 15:24you find that this value sucks, then
528. 15:25sure, change it back to the default
529. 15:27hexodimal 8. And for the final registry
530. 15:29tweak, system responsiveness. This value
531. 15:31determines the percent of CPU resources
532. 15:33that are given to background tasks. So
533. 15:34set it to the lowest possible value of
534. 15:3610. If you try anything lower, Windows
535. 15:38treats it as if you typed in 20. So 10
536. 15:40is the best possible value here. And to
537. 15:42finish things up, we're just going to do
538. 15:43a few very simple BIOS tweaks. Starting
539. 15:46with enabling XMPP/DOCCP.
540. 15:48By default, your RAM may not run at the
541. 15:50speed you paid for and might run at a
542. 15:52much slower basic speed called a Jedec
543. 15:55profile. By enabling XMPP/DOCCP,
544. 15:58it'll run at the faster advertised
545. 16:00speed. And this can give you a huge FPS
546. 16:02boost, especially for your 1% lows. Just
547. 16:04check your RAM information online or in
548. 16:06the manual to make sure that it supports
549. 16:08this technology first. though. If it
550. 16:09does, go into the BIOS by simply
551. 16:11restarting your PC and spamming the
552. 16:13delete key or F2. Once you're in, the
553. 16:15option is often right on the main
554. 16:16screen, or you might find it in the AI
555. 16:18tweaker, overclocking, or extreme
556. 16:20tweaker tab. It will look slightly
557. 16:22different for everyone, but it might not
558. 16:23be an option for you if you're not on
559. 16:24the desktop. And some of you might
560. 16:26actually need a whole BIOS update just
561. 16:28for it to show up. But when you do find
562. 16:29it, simply change that setting to
563. 16:31enabled or profile one. The second thing
564. 16:33we're going to do in the BIOS is enable
565. 16:35or disable SMT/Hyperthreading
566. 16:37depending on how many CPU cores you
567. 16:39have. Simultaneous multi-threading or
568. 16:41hyperthreading basically lets each
569. 16:42individual core in your CPU execute two
570. 16:45threads at the same time. To access the
571. 16:46setting, you're going to have to go into
572. 16:48your BIOS's advanced mode. It's likely
573. 16:50somewhere in your advanced CPU settings,
574. 16:51but if you need help finding where it is
575. 16:53for your specific motherboard model,
576. 16:55Google is your best friend here. When
577. 16:56you find the SMT or hyperthreading
578. 16:58setting though, rule of thumb is to
579. 16:59enable it if you have less than eight
580. 17:01cores and disable it if you have eight
581. 17:02or more, but it does depend on the game.
582. 17:04So, definitely test it out for yourself.
583. 17:06And finally, we're going to enable above
584. 17:084G decoding and resizable bar. If you
585. 17:10have a GPU with more than 4 GB of VRAM,
586. 17:13above 4G decoding allows your system to
587. 17:15basically use that VRAM significantly
588. 17:18more efficiently. And turning it on also
589. 17:20unlocks resizable bar, which not only
590. 17:22allows your CPU to have access to all of
591. 17:24your VRAMm at once instead of in 256 MGB
592. 17:27chunks. And together, these two can
593. 17:29increase your FPS by up to 70% for Intel
594. 17:32GPU users and up to 10% for everyone
595. 17:35else. Again, these are going to be in a
596. 17:36different spot depending on your
597. 17:38motherboard, but here are some common
598. 17:39locations. Basically, no reason to turn
599. 17:42either of these off, though. And just
600. 17:43before you quit the BIOS, make sure that
601. 17:45you save and exit. But that's enough
602. 17:47talking from me. Now, I want to hear
603. 17:48from you if these optimizations worked
604. 17:50for you and gave you a performance
605. 17:51boost. Let me know down below. And if
606. 17:53you ran into any issues, leave a comment
607. 17:55explaining exactly what went wrong and
608. 17:57what step it happened on so that the
609. 17:58community can help you out. But for now,
610. 18:00enjoy your newly optimized PC.
