🔧 Step 1: Optimize Windows 11 for Gaming

Game Bar

Disable unless you’re using a Ryzen 7900X3D/7950X3D processor. It can reduce performance for most users.

Graphics Settings

Turn Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling ON.
Disable all features under Captures (background recording, etc.).
Enable Game Mode – much more stable in Windows 11 than it was in Windows 10.

Power Settings

Use Balanced mode instead of High Performance for better and longer boost clocks.

Extra Tips:

  • Enable XMP/EXPO in your BIOS.

  • Update your chipset drivers and BIOS.

  • Install the latest GPU drivers (Nvidia, Radeon, or Intel Arc).

  • Run Windows Update regularly.

🎮 Step 2: Nvidia Settings (Control Panel + App)

Disable Nvidia Overlay

It can cause stutters or minor FPS loss.

Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings:

  • Low Latency Mode: On

  • Power Management Mode: Normal

  • Shader Cache Size: Increase to 10GB or even 100GB if you have space.

  • G-Sync: Enable if you want smoother image quality and your monitor supports it.

  • Refresh Rate: Manually select the correct refresh rate (144Hz, 240Hz, etc.).

DLSS Override Tip

Use the latest DLSS version even if the in-game one is outdated. This can offer sharper visuals and better performance.

🟥 Step 3: AMD Radeon Settings

Display Tab

  • Enable FreeSync (if supported by your monitor).

  • Lock FPS 3 frames below your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 167 FPS for 170Hz) for smoother performance and to stay in FreeSync range.

Graphics Tab

  • Profile: Set to Custom

  • Use Discrete GPU instead of integrated.

  • Enable FSR 4 if available and compatible.

  • Fluid Motion Frames: Useful for single-player games; avoid in competitive play.

  • Radeon Chill: Helps stay within FreeSync range.

  • Image Sharpening: Set between 60–70% for better clarity if no in-game sharpening is available.

  • Reset Shader Cache: Can fix unexplained stuttering.
