Best PC Optimization Tips
Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
A detailed explanation of hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is a little difficult to provide. In brief, if you have a dedicated video card, this will allow the card to render and schedule frames rather than relying on your CPU to do the first step. Some games may benefit from this feature, but be advised that other games may not notice much of a difference, and in rare instances, it may even cause the game to run more slowly. To enable it, go to graphic settings and change it in Default Graphics Settings.
Monitor refresh rate
Windows won’t always use your connected display’s maximum refresh rate by default. Otherwise, the output may be a pitiful 60Hz, therefore it’s worth checking settings in both Windows and the onboard menus of your display. You can be using the incorrect port or cable if you don’t see the rate you were hoping for. Some displays can only use HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort to reach their maximum refresh rates; the former is probably the case.
Driver Updates
Graphics drivers are regularly updated by AMD and Nvidia to address issues and enhance game compatibility. To download and install the most recent drivers that are compatible with your hardware, use Nvidia’s GeForce Experience or AMD’s Adrenalin client. Remember to regularly run Windows Update, and if you haven’t checked in a few months, look for a BIOS update from the maker of your motherboard or PC.
Game Mode
Game Mode is one of the many features in Windows 11 that were designed with gaming in mind. This may improve framerates by turning off pointless background processes while you’re playing. Additionally, it stops Windows Update from requesting a restart or automatically updating drivers. The option is located under the gaming tab in the settings.
Adjust the Windows UI
Although it is completely optional, you can make the interface emphasize speed by removing superfluous animations and other visual elements if you want to get the most efficiency out of Windows. Note that full-screen games will not be affected by this.
