This will make Windows look something like Windows 98, but from testing between the two, I got a pretty small-but-good performance boost. Select the option for best performance and press Apply. Press Start, and type in the search bar 'Performance' and select 'Adjust the performance and appearence of Windows'. 'Ugly' looking, but it's still a good try to see what happens. This may not make a huge performance change, and can make Windows. What this application does is kill off unneeded background services and processes to get more memory and take off strain on your CPU. This is really optional, and experienced PC users will probably do this by themselves anyways, but I find using this application really easy to use and removes the hassle of doing it manually. For example, Intel i3 users have a max of 21. Check off Set Multiplier and put it to the maximum it can get. Check off Clock Modulation and Chipset Clock Mod and make sure both are at 100%.Ĥ.

This application, named ThrottleStop, can stop Intel processors from doing this. Intel processors are known to do something where when they think that they're getting the TINIEST bit hot, they will start to lower your performance to get back to normal temperatures. I know this as I have an Intel laptop.Ī lot of gamers I know play on laptops. If you didn't know, here's a refresher.įor newcomers to PC gaming (or just casual players), you probably didn't know that updating drivers can improve stable-ness of your PC, fix bugs, and also improve performance in games!Īs a note for Intel users, it seems the company ignores gamers, as they pretty much never put out driver updates.

Before we start going into tweaking and improving performance, most gamers should know these basics.
