More frames from the PC you already own.

Stutter usually comes from a handful of wrong settings, not old hardware. This free 9-page guide walks through the Windows, driver and in-game settings that cost you FPS. You change each one yourself, and you can undo any of them.

  1. Turn on Game Mode

    Windows gives the game priority and holds back things like update installs while you play.

    Settings › Gaming › Game Mode

  2. Use the Best performance power mode

    This stops the CPU from clocking down mid-match. On a laptop, plug the charger in as well.

    Settings › System › Power & battery › Power mode

  3. Turn on GPU scheduling

    Switch on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and Optimizations for windowed games, then restart.

    Settings › System › Display › Graphics › Advanced graphics settings

  4. Stop background recording

    "Record what happened" keeps a rolling video of your game the whole time. Turn it off and use your GPU app for clips.

    Settings › Gaming › Captures

  5. Check your refresh rate

    Plenty of 144 Hz monitors run at 60 Hz out of the box. Pick the highest number in the list.

    Settings › System › Display › Advanced display
Desktop PC? Plug the monitor into the graphics card, not the motherboard. With the cable in the wrong port, games run on the integrated graphics and no setting will fix that.

Questions

Is this safe for my PC?

Yes. It's a PDF. It tells you which normal Windows, driver and game settings to change, and the first step is making a restore point so you can roll back.

How much FPS will I gain?

It depends on what's wrong right now. A monitor stuck at 60 Hz or a game running on the wrong GPU can be night and day. A PC that's already tuned will gain less. The guide shows you how to measure, so you'll see the real number on your own machine.

Why do I have to complete an offer?

Advertisers pay RigTuned when you try their offer. That pays for the guide. One offer is enough, and you choose which.

I finished an offer but nothing unlocked

Some offers take a few minutes to confirm, so keep the window open. If it still doesn't unlock, check you completed every step the offer listed, or try a different one.

Does it work on laptops and Windows 10?

Yes. There's a laptop section on GPU selection, power and heat, plus notes for Windows 10.

Is RigTuned connected to NVIDIA, AMD or the game studios?

No. RigTuned is independent. Game and product names only show which games and hardware the guide covers.
