Everything you need to optimize your gaming rig
Expert knowledge for peak performance
Your RAM runs at default JEDEC speeds (often 4800MHz for DDR5, 2133MHz for DDR4) unless you enable XMP (Intel) or EXPO/DOCP (AMD) in BIOS. This single setting can boost gaming performance by 10-20%. Press DEL at boot, navigate to Advanced > Memory, and enable the XMP/EXPO profile matching your RAM's rated speed.
Outdated GPU drivers cause performance issues, crashes, and missing game optimizations. NVIDIA users: install GeForce App. AMD users: install Adrenalin Edition. Update at least monthly, or when new AAA games launch - drivers often include game-specific optimizations that boost FPS by 10-15%.
Background apps steal CPU cycles and RAM from your games. Use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) before gaming. Common culprits: Chrome (1-2GB RAM), Discord (300-500MB), Spotify, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud. Enable Windows 11 Game Mode (Settings > Gaming) for automatic optimization.
