Power settings from Balanced to Performance - I leave mine on balance as I'm running AMD X3D CPU ... but that wasn't really discovered until after you made this video. Well done video btw.
Great video! I have been PC gaming since my 486 into the Pentium era. Some of these I knew, but many I never thought about. Thank you for the great walk through! Also love the decor.
While I really enjoy these videos, especially the part about telling windows defender to scan when you want rather than when it wants.... i would like to see how much difference it makes, especially with a side by side benchmark clip at the end of the video. Im not expecting fps numbers to increase, things like this can also simply mean that the system will respond or feel better when there arent scans in the background.... cheers..
Personally I haven't seen much difference changing these values. I tested some of these options, like Core Isolation, and it didn't make any noticable difference. I think with newer versions of Windows you dont need to tweak your system in order to get higher fps. It pretty much comes down to your system specs and how the game is optimized by the developers.
ive made some good strides increased 1% lows, and way more stable fps/no fpsdrops, but ive done more to my windows/bios then just this video. My pc does also feel more responsive but can't entirely cut out if its placebo or not. Not sure about how much fps i was averaging before but I can estimate atleast 75-125 frame (around a 33% from past) increase in valorant alone. The highest in an actual match ive seen it at was 700 and lowest 400's. constant 400+fps with minor dips. I can for sure say before I remember my frame dips would be crazy 400-300 constant peak/drop - +40-60frames. but most of the time whenever i look at my frames it'll only move as if its maxed out on vsync so it'll peak at a number usually 430 with small peaks/drops of 10-20frames. one of the best changes besides hardware overclocking was renaming gamebarpresence in sys32 and disabling in registry. this was what helped alot for 1% lows and framerate stability!
@@andrewpomodoro Wow, you get 300+ fps on valorant meaning you've got very good specs. If I were you I'd leave it alone. I usually play single player games and as far as I get 60+ fps I'm ok with it. I only changed Nvidia control panel values to boost performance.
1000% brother my frames before were already good, really high and way more then I need but the constant drops and peaks kind of made the game feel weird. switching between extremely smooth and then something just feeling slightly ‘off’. almost like running your hand along a smooth surface but feeling a slight misshape due to a spill not cleaned properly lol. I would rate the experience as good before but after optimizations literally beyond PERFECT. no exaggeration but I can brute force my aim and not focus on crosshair placement as much because I kill people that fast if I don’t miss my shots, and I am in high elo aswell.
@@andrewpomodoro You're right about the dips in performance, they're so annoying on PC sometimes. The 1% lows are as important because they affect the experience.
@@m.heyatzadeh frame rate stability and microstutters are extremely annoying bro competitive game or not, I would rather a smooth but low fps compared to a high unstable one. I would suggest if I were to do only one optimization to windows itself is renaming the gamebarpresence in system32. no joke man that one was a huge difference for me in reducing frame rate instability and 1% lows. Everything else just makes a tiny difference but adds up the more optimizations you pile ontoplol
I've heard different things regarding leaving power settings on balanced rather than high performance. If you care about you electricity bill or want your components to run cooler when not gaming than isn't it better to just leave it on balanced? Pretty much all modern games will be detected by windows to switch power delivery mode to high performance when gaming so i don't see how that is going to help. If you have a gaming laptop i would definitely leave power mode on balanced since that is going to directly effect your battery life.
and what is best minimum processor state they say 5 is best .but i think 0 is faster some people say 100 but when i put it to 100 lets just say lets not do that lol.
When I tell you these optimizations made my pc feel like an actual gaming pc im not kidding! I’ve had a pc for around 4 years now and ive never had games run so snappy and smoothly. It’s odd that it’s the first time that my fps somehow feels accurate? I’ll have 120 fps now that looks smoother than 120 fps did before. Don’t know how that works but I’m stoked
Rory zgallagher gave 1000% in every appearance. Simply the best live. The studio albums never really captured the joy and energy of his live performances.
Hi Rich, Great channel and videos. Happy Friday! What benchmark do you use to check the expected performance from your hardware? I've been using 3dMark Timespy Extreme, but seems like my results are considerably lower when compared to others results with the same hardware. tia
@CyberCPU - Revisiting this video after a few months and having a lot of trouble with "idle power consumption". The 2 settings "Energy plan: High Perfirmance" and "Nvidia Power-Management Mode: Max Performance" make it that the Ryzen 9 5950x and my 3080 Ti use a very much more idle power then normal. The CPU idles at 120 instead of 20-60w and the GPU idles 113-143w instead of 25-39w, changing theese and reboots solves the problem. Sometimes you just idle or want to watch YT. Idling at 255-280w instead of 80-130w is quite a lot, living in Germany (#3 most expensive power prices, worldwide") i reverted theese settings to not bleed me dry in money. A "info/Disclaimer" about this would be nice. But again, Awesome video, love it!
Great video, perfect presentation and I agree with you on almost all the setting you mentioned to tweak but the Texture filtering quality. Also the chip i have 14700kf will not idle down to just over 1ghz , it stays pegged at just under 5.5Ghz when setting the power management to performance mode from Balanced, it idles down to 11 times (balanced)on the multiplier from being pegged @56 times when set to performance / The wattage on the CPU will idle down under 13watts(balanced mode) when set to play music and or videos from hitting just under 90w with 0-1% cpu load while in performance mode. I use a 48" LG C3 set to 4096x2160 @120Hz I saw instantly the lower detail in the textures going from quality to the lower setting. On smaller/ tighter pixel displays may not affect your apparent image fidelity as much. great intel for the performance, my system is super responsive now and the Drive activity is where one would think it should be when the PC has everything loaded into memory. Thanks again this video got me to subscribe and like your channel. Thanks again. BTW, that is the absolute perfect T shirt, can I buy it off your merchandise site or is just a great saying ;)
Hey there, I really appreciated this video. And obviously you really know your stuff. I have an off topic question I'm hoping you might be able to easily answer? Last year I Built a monster machine; AMD Ryzen 9,5950 1 TB Gen 4 M2 SSD, 64 gigs of DDR 4 3200 memory, Nvidia RTX 3080, Windows 11, ASUS dark hero 7. and my question is; I built this machine to game and to do content creation. I use Photoshop elements 2023 and I'm using a 4K monitor. And anytime I try to use brushes in Photoshop especially the cloning tool, My machine just absolutely crawls and stutters it's horrible and obviously quite a bummer considering I spent all this money making machine specifically to do things like that. I was wondering if there were any settings I might tweak to get Photoshop elements 2023 running normally? I've done the obvious thing such as gone into the settings within the program and make sure it's you know using my Nvidia 3080 for help, but it runs like shit. Any suggestions are highly appreciated...
wouldn't recommend turning core isolation off as annoying as it is it also protects the processor from malicious code being injected into the processor...in theory.
As long as you have TPM enabled (by default on Windows 11) and the latter has a native function with the CPU you can safely disable the core isolation, since the latter only defends against one type of attack, and to receive such an attack you have to go looking for it. Viruses or deceptive codes don't happen by chance, it all depends on how you use your computer. By the way, core isolation is a windows feature, instead TPM is both software and hardware working through your system BIOS.
Great video, but I'd just like to say: if you use your PC for anything else but gaming or if you play pirated games, you may want to leave core isolation and other security features on.
Thank you so much for the info. I just updated today to windows 11 and it's all new to me. I do have a question, Do I have to do anything in my BIOS due to the new windows version update? I'm running a AMD build.
Hey doyou remember Warp Which got rebranded and dropped by IBM? It was a better windows than windows and ran windows apps better than windows. I see things like Atlas OS which is kind of the same thing. You still need a paid version of Windows Pro to make this work. I would love to see some kind of linuux that would do the same thing as OS/2 Warp did. That would turn windows into the kind of operating system it should be. One that shared you PC resources and just ran you programs with out all the mess. No back doors and phone home and else where.
No, I've definitely had that before though. Sometimes it's best to pick your battles. You can end up wasting a lot of time trying to go after someone and overall lose in the long run.
For nvidia users, I prefer to use 'geforce experience'. Not only set up your games with the 'almost' the best video settings, but also warns you when new drivers are released, and update them with just a click
I've been watching a lot of videos lately and some say one thing and the others say a different thing. Which is better to use for gaming pc, using an hdmi cable or a displayport cable?
Wow ... TU! My Cached dropped from 6.7 GB to 2.6 GB ... thanks. I was also able to under-volt my MSI 3060ti GPU lower from 900 mV to 875 mV without crashing.
The Windows 10 and windows 11 videos we're done with separate hard drives. So when I put Windows 10 and 11 up against each other I have both installs to flip back and forth between. The optimized installs of both Windows 10 and 11 from this video and the last will be the same installs that I put up against each other.
Great video👍 only thing I’d add is if you have an AMD 7950x3d for example don’t disable game bar and don’t set power plan to high performance, just leave it on balanced.
@@developer6619 - You're consuming more power(which makes everything run hotter) when you don't actually need it. The cpu and gpu will use max performance when they need to use it.
I had thermal issues with my 7800x3D. Enabled Processor Boost Mode Control. You can google how to do this. And then went from aggressive to disabled. Noticed zero performance loss and now chip is way cooler and CPU fans don’t turn into jet engines.
Deleting a Task is a horrendous thing! System tasks are important, I'd advice against deleting them, just disable or get admin access to stop them! Dude said "ATI graphics card" so he is clearly out of touch in tech for years, be cautious!
I saw some nice FPS gains in The Last of Us with these settings (did not change Nvidia power setting to extreme power though). I haven't played other games just yet.
Great video but windows 11 already has a "Game Mode" feature in the Game Settings where when turned on it optimizes the PC for better performance. Pretty much everything I went through in this video has already been applied because I had game mode on.
Neat. Great video. My only issue with MSI afterburner is it doesn't automatically come on with windows by default. It took me way to long to notice this.
Hi, Thank you for the tips, you are a Legend !! However....my windows got an update and after the update some settings changed to how they were before. This is annoying, is there any way to stop this ?
The best tasklist for setting up Win11 for really fast gaming: 1. Boot a Windows 10 Image from a USB device and delete the Windows 11 partition 2. Install Windows 10 and enjoy high performance gaming without any issues
I seriously doubt disabling all of the services will help you gain any significant amount of gaming performance.. please go ahead and post a video of you recording the game performance for a few games before and after performing these "optimizations".
I'm also doubting some of these settings actual relevance for performance. Core isolation is definitely important to disable, but the services? Does it actually matter?
Thanks 4 this 1. I just bought a new pc(from a store n asked if it was ready n fixed settings 4 gaming only)Yes n the win 11 pc was to say the least almost as slow as my older win10 i5 9400f gtx1650 n compared to new i5 12400f rtx3060 12gb 16gb 3200mhz it should be a noticable difference i think(atleast all game installes have dramaticly changed from hours to minutes example 6hours takes now 20min so that is a big change for me now) So i hope this will help out win11 n gaming(i got tired yesterday of pc almost stopped a while while gaming due to something w defender n other stuff that started up big time) Thanks 4 this help video
Nvidia control panel part! If you have a high end GPU power management can be left to normal and texture filtering performance perform better than high performance
A week after making some of the changes show in the video I found that my 4080 fans were spinning at 30% even when the PC was idle. Took me a while to track down but at 13:48 changing Power management mode to "Maximum performance" disabled the fan stop feature of the card and kept the fans spinning non stop. Not sure if there was even a performance improvement by having it on so returned it to "normal" mode to save the GPU fans some wear and tear. Built in curve of the card has fans spin up starting in the low 50*c range. UA-cam and internet browsing never gets me above 43-47*
I'm pretty sure you don't want to disable Xbox gamebar if you use a 3d cache ryzen CPU(maybe just the 7000 series). It uses the gamebar to know when you're playing a game or not so it can utilize the 3d v-cache
If you are using a Laptop use balanced power profile and let nvidia power management on normal because that 2 things makes your gpu work constantly consuming more batery.
After changing my power setting to High performance, my idle power went up an extra 10 watts. Balanced lowers it back down 10 watts. That is on an Intel i5-13600k computer with a Radeon RX 6800 graphics card and the latest drivers.
G'day mate. Just come across your channel. Find this video interesting, and thought I'd give your recommendations a go. A few of the settings had already been done, so no issue there. One i did come across. Core Isolation. I try accessing that, and get a"Page not available." "The page you are trying to access has no supported features and is not available." So i just slipped it. You come across this before? I'm running Windows 11, and literally updated it before running through your recommended settings. I liked how easy it was to follow your instructions. I've also subbed to your channel.
Depending on what cable your using for your monitor, (setting your refresh rate to its highest setting is NOT always the best idea. Im using a display port 1.4 connection from my Alienware AW3423DWF to my RTX4090 and although my monitor has a refresh rate of 165hz, i have to set it at 100hz so that im able to set my color to 10bit. If i were to run my monitor at 165hz, I can only use 8 bit color in nvidia control panel and windows display manager. So my advice is dont just automatically set your refresh rate to the highest it possibly can run at without first making sure your connections have the bandwidth available to enable all the features you may want to.
Are you seeing a difference with the 10bit color vs the 165hz, I ask because I have the same monitor you do. Also just so you know, I was able to make a custom res with a rate of 135hz and 10bit still comes up if that's at all good for you too.
@anthonyrizzo9043 , I actually did what you did except I'm able to run it at 165hz and 10bit by creating a custom profile that a bunch of other people were using. I haven't had any issues at all with it running at its full speed and 10bit. I don't have the exact numbers on hand for you, but if you want them for your custom profile I can get them and post them for you. It was only 2 numbers I had to change and that was it. Windows and everything reads it now at the full resolution, 165hz and 10bit with HDR
@anthonyrizzo9043 , sorry I didn't get you the exact number bro, I totally forgot. But see how you created a custom profile and was able to change it to 10bit and over 100hz. It's just a weird bug. Supposedly they were going to release a firmware update to fix it, but they haven't as of yet. I read an article explaining what the issue was and it wasn't a hardware issue at all, it absolutely was just a bug. To be honest I was fine running it at 100hz with 10bit color, but alot of games have 120fps options and I have a gpu that can hit those numbers so that's the only reason I wanted it running at its stock speed of 165hz. As for if I can tell the difference between 8bit and 10bit color. Honestly no. Lol I don't think anyone honestly could say they can tell the difference. I do like HDR and can absolutely tell the difference between HDR on and off so I want the 10bit color on.
Great video can I ask if you have experienced a issue in windows 11 when copying a file from a m.2 drive to my m.2 running windows that’s over 20gb the transfer rate starts off steady then drops to 0bytes/s

Great video! I have been PC gaming since my 486 into the Pentium era. Some of these I knew, but many I never thought about. Thank you for the great walk through! Also love the decor.
cant believe it took algorithm so long to give me your channel i like the side by side performance benchmarking
While I really enjoy these videos, especially the part about telling windows defender to scan when you want rather than when it wants.... i would like to see how much difference it makes, especially with a side by side benchmark clip at the end of the video. Im not expecting fps numbers to increase, things like this can also simply mean that the system will respond or feel better when there arent scans in the background.... cheers..
I completely disable windows defender.

@@baldknobbySo you can be hacked easily?
I’M NOT THAT STUPID! 😂
Haven't been hacked, smart enough to not download/open/browse stuff to get me hacked I guess. Been using/building PC's since 1998.
Great video, half this stuff I've never tried before, I'll definitely try some of it
i Think that Windows 11 has got Better, That'sGood
Personally I haven't seen much difference changing these values. I tested some of these options, like Core Isolation, and it didn't make any noticable difference. I think with newer versions of Windows you dont need to tweak your system in order to get higher fps. It pretty much comes down to your system specs and how the game is optimized by the developers.
ive made some good strides increased 1% lows, and way more stable fps/no fpsdrops, but ive done more to my windows/bios then just this video. My pc does also feel more responsive but can't entirely cut out if its placebo or not. Not sure about how much fps i was averaging before but I can estimate atleast 75-125 frame (around a 33% from past) increase in valorant alone. The highest in an actual match ive seen it at was 700 and lowest 400's. constant 400+fps with minor dips. I can for sure say before I remember my frame dips would be crazy 400-300 constant peak/drop - +40-60frames. but most of the time whenever i look at my frames it'll only move as if its maxed out on vsync so it'll peak at a number usually 430 with small peaks/drops of 10-20frames.
one of the best changes besides hardware overclocking was renaming gamebarpresence in sys32 and disabling in registry. this was what helped alot for 1% lows and framerate stability!
@@andrewpomodoro Wow, you get 300+ fps on valorant meaning you've got very good specs. If I were you I'd leave it alone. I usually play single player games and as far as I get 60+ fps I'm ok with it. I only changed Nvidia control panel values to boost performance.
1000% brother my frames before were already good, really high and way more then I need but the constant drops and peaks kind of made the game feel weird. switching between extremely smooth and then something just feeling slightly ‘off’. almost like running your hand along a smooth surface but feeling a slight misshape due to a spill not cleaned properly lol.
I would rate the experience as good before but after optimizations literally beyond PERFECT. no exaggeration but I can brute force my aim and not focus on crosshair placement as much because I kill people that fast if I don’t miss my shots, and I am in high elo aswell.
@@andrewpomodoro You're right about the dips in performance, they're so annoying on PC sometimes. The 1% lows are as important because they affect the experience.
@@m.heyatzadeh frame rate stability and microstutters are extremely annoying bro competitive game or not, I would rather a smooth but low fps compared to a high unstable one.
I would suggest if I were to do only
one optimization to windows itself is renaming the gamebarpresence in system32.
no joke man that one was a huge difference for me in reducing frame rate instability and 1% lows. Everything else just makes a tiny difference but adds up the more optimizations you pile ontoplol
I've heard different things regarding leaving power settings on balanced rather than high performance. If you care about you electricity bill or want your components to run cooler when not gaming than isn't it better to just leave it on balanced? Pretty much all modern games will be detected by windows to switch power delivery mode to high performance when gaming so i don't see how that is going to help. If you have a gaming laptop i would definitely leave power mode on balanced since that is going to directly effect your battery life.
and what is best minimum processor state they say 5 is best .but i think 0 is faster some people say 100 but when i put it to 100 lets just say lets not do that lol.
@@avox5651don't touch CPU power state as it can cause your CPU run high speed even when it's not needed. It'll cause CPU to run hot.
i keep this always open and switch to balanced when i play and when i dont play i just put in low battery
A must have channel, thank you so so much ,as a pc tech there's lots of tricks i didn't know,you are the best man !
That was an actual useful video, I did some of the things you mentioned, good job dude well done!
Great info Rich... keep it coming plz.
I always enjoy you presentation style and of course your videos
Turn on the game mode, I tried it in the New World game, it increased the performance by 10%.
Thank you very much! I have my new gaming pc and this was helpful!😊
Hey man great video! How do you feel about turning off ecores for gaming ?
When I tell you these optimizations made my pc feel like an actual gaming pc im not kidding!
I’ve had a pc for around 4 years now and ive never had games run so snappy and smoothly. It’s odd that it’s the first time that my fps somehow feels accurate?
I’ll have 120 fps now that looks smoother than 120 fps did before. Don’t know how that works but I’m stoked
Bruh u made no sense...

Hi Rich, Great channel and videos. Happy Friday!
What benchmark do you use to check the expected performance from your hardware?
I've been using 3dMark Timespy Extreme, but seems like my results are considerably lower when compared to others results with the same hardware. tia
I use MSI afterburner.
Time spy also grades how stable your system is at speed not just performance. So scores can change a bit with every test run.
THANKS GREAT HELP BRO! id like to know if game mode is better be be on or off?
@CyberCPU - Revisiting this video after a few months and having a lot of trouble with "idle power consumption". The 2 settings "Energy plan: High Perfirmance" and "Nvidia Power-Management Mode: Max Performance" make it that the Ryzen 9 5950x and my 3080 Ti use a very much more idle power then normal. The CPU idles at 120 instead of 20-60w and the GPU idles 113-143w instead of 25-39w, changing theese and reboots solves the problem. Sometimes you just idle or want to watch YT. Idling at 255-280w instead of 80-130w is quite a lot, living in Germany (#3 most expensive power prices, worldwide") i reverted theese settings to not bleed me dry in money. A "info/Disclaimer" about this would be nice. But again, Awesome video, love it!
I will do this for my next clean install again, but less "energy-aggressive" 👌
how did u check idle thing?

Nice video. instant subscibed because you explained the steps and what they do
Great video, perfect presentation and I agree with you on almost all the setting you mentioned to tweak but the Texture filtering quality. Also the chip i have 14700kf will not idle down to just over 1ghz , it stays pegged at just under 5.5Ghz when setting the power management to performance mode from Balanced, it idles down to 11 times (balanced)on the multiplier from being pegged @56 times when set to performance / The wattage on the CPU will idle down under 13watts(balanced mode) when set to play music and or videos from hitting just under 90w with 0-1% cpu load while in performance mode. I use a 48" LG C3 set to 4096x2160 @120Hz I saw instantly the lower detail in the textures going from quality to the lower setting. On smaller/ tighter pixel displays may not affect your apparent image fidelity as much. great intel for the performance, my system is super responsive now and the Drive activity is where one would think it should be when the PC has everything loaded into memory. Thanks again this video got me to subscribe and like your channel. Thanks again. BTW, that is the absolute perfect T shirt, can I buy it off your merchandise site or is just a great saying ;)
Hey there, I really appreciated this video. And obviously you really know your stuff. I have an off topic question I'm hoping you might be able to easily answer? Last year I Built a monster machine; AMD Ryzen 9,5950 1 TB Gen 4 M2 SSD, 64 gigs of DDR 4 3200 memory, Nvidia RTX 3080, Windows 11, ASUS dark hero 7. and my question is; I built this machine to game and to do content creation. I use Photoshop elements 2023 and I'm using a 4K monitor. And anytime I try to use brushes in Photoshop especially the cloning tool, My machine just absolutely crawls and stutters it's horrible and obviously quite a bummer considering I spent all this money making machine specifically to do things like that. I was wondering if there were any settings I might tweak to get Photoshop elements 2023 running normally? I've done the obvious thing such as gone into the settings within the program and make sure it's you know using my Nvidia 3080 for help, but it runs like shit. Any suggestions are highly appreciated...
Yes, please get into and test Game Mode. I'm hesitant to turn it off based on rumours.
Greetings bro!
Excellent video and explanation!!!
Thanks! 😉
wouldn't recommend turning core isolation off as annoying as it is it also protects the processor from malicious code being injected into the processor...in theory.
As long as you have TPM enabled (by default on Windows 11) and the latter has a native function with the CPU you can safely disable the core isolation, since the latter only defends against one type of attack, and to receive such an attack you have to go looking for it. Viruses or deceptive codes don't happen by chance, it all depends on how you use your computer.
By the way, core isolation is a windows feature, instead TPM is both software and hardware working through your system BIOS.
If I apply all these on my laptop Acer Aspire A315 windows 11, will it let work and function well for Saint Row 2 gameplay?
Will this work for a gaming laptop ? Or is it just for a desktop gaming rig ?
Nice video, to the point and clear. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, but I'd just like to say: if you use your PC for anything else but gaming or if you play pirated games, you may want to leave core isolation and other security features on.
Thank you so much for the info. I just updated today to windows 11 and it's all new to me. I do have a question, Do I have to do anything in my BIOS due to the new windows version update? I'm running a AMD build.
just subscribed . Great video.
Thanks for the sub!
I love your t-shirt, where can I get one?
Hey doyou remember Warp Which got rebranded and dropped by IBM? It was a better windows than windows and ran windows apps better than windows. I see things like Atlas OS which is kind of the same thing. You still need a paid version of Windows Pro to make this work. I would love to see some kind of linuux that would do the same thing as OS/2 Warp did. That would turn windows into the kind of operating system it should be. One that shared you PC resources and just ran you programs with out all the mess. No back doors and phone home and else where.
Haha every time i get a new computer i come back to this video i think I've 4x the like button on this video now
Do you have a video about handling customers that refuse to pay their invoice?
No, I've definitely had that before though. Sometimes it's best to pick your battles. You can end up wasting a lot of time trying to go after someone and overall lose in the long run.
For nvidia users, I prefer to use 'geforce experience'. Not only set up your games with the 'almost' the best video settings, but also warns you when new drivers are released, and update them with just a click
what the hell, no, absolutely no!
@@sudd3660 Can you elaborate?

I've been watching a lot of videos lately and some say one thing and the others say a different thing. Which is better to use for gaming pc, using an hdmi cable or a displayport cable?

Nice onde dude, i like you i like you videos and i like tour knowledge...keep the good work
Thanks so much for this great, and easy to follow, advice. Much appreciated.
When you do the benchmarks, I assume you will be listing your specs. Are you also imaging your builds for consistency or is this a dual boot setup?
The Windows 10 and windows 11 videos we're done with separate hard drives. So when I put Windows 10 and 11 up against each other I have both installs to flip back and forth between. The optimized installs of both Windows 10 and 11 from this video and the last will be the same installs that I put up against each other.
Great video👍 only thing I’d add is if you have an AMD 7950x3d for example don’t disable game bar and don’t set power plan to high performance, just leave it on balanced.
@@developer6619 - You're consuming more power(which makes everything run hotter) when you don't actually need it. The cpu and gpu will use max performance when they need to use it.
I had thermal issues with my 7800x3D. Enabled Processor Boost Mode Control. You can google how to do this. And then went from aggressive to disabled. Noticed zero performance loss and now chip is way cooler and CPU fans don’t turn into jet engines.

Deleting a Task is a horrendous thing! System tasks are important, I'd advice against deleting them, just disable or get admin access to stop them!
Dude said "ATI graphics card" so he is clearly out of touch in tech for years, be cautious!
yea you should test game-mode again for sure, cuz on my system its actaully better to leav it on for gamign ^^
this really really helped. thanks!
I saw some nice FPS gains in The Last of Us with these settings (did not change Nvidia power setting to extreme power though). I haven't played other games just yet.
Great video but windows 11 already has a "Game Mode" feature in the Game Settings where when turned on it optimizes the PC for better performance. Pretty much everything I went through in this video has already been applied because I had game mode on.
Great video gramps
you good
Neat. Great video. My only issue with MSI afterburner is it doesn't automatically come on with windows by default. It took me way to long to notice this.
It does it you check the start up box in Afterburner👍
Hi,
Thank you for the tips, you are a Legend !!
However....my windows got an update and after the update some settings changed to how they were before. This is annoying, is there any way to stop this ?
The best tasklist for setting up Win11 for really fast gaming:
1. Boot a Windows 10 Image from a USB device and delete the Windows 11 partition
2. Install Windows 10 and enjoy high performance gaming without any issues
I seriously doubt disabling all of the services will help you gain any significant amount of gaming performance.. please go ahead and post a video of you recording the game performance for a few games before and after performing these "optimizations".
I'm also doubting some of these settings actual relevance for performance. Core isolation is definitely important to disable, but the services? Does it actually matter?
Great vid. Just hot a pc and will be doing this
nice vid my man as allways
Thnx man, really usefull video!
Thanks 4 this 1.
I just bought a new pc(from a store n asked if it was ready n fixed settings 4 gaming only)Yes n the win 11 pc was to say the least almost as slow as my older win10 i5 9400f gtx1650 n compared to new i5 12400f rtx3060 12gb 16gb 3200mhz it should be a noticable difference i think(atleast all game installes have dramaticly changed from hours to minutes example 6hours takes now 20min so that is a big change for me now)
So i hope this will help out win11 n gaming(i got tired yesterday of pc almost stopped a while while gaming due to something w defender n other stuff that started up big time)
Thanks 4 this help video
Nvidia control panel part! If you have a high end GPU power management can be left to normal and texture filtering performance perform better than high performance
A week after making some of the changes show in the video I found that my 4080 fans were spinning at 30% even when the PC was idle. Took me a while to track down but at 13:48 changing Power management mode to "Maximum performance" disabled the fan stop feature of the card and kept the fans spinning non stop. Not sure if there was even a performance improvement by having it on so returned it to "normal" mode to save the GPU fans some wear and tear. Built in curve of the card has fans spin up starting in the low 50*c range. UA-cam and internet browsing never gets me above 43-47*
@@Cobalt135 its the same for me, normal works better. Maybe top player would see a difference but to me its not worth it
Wow, thanks for the tips. Turning off core isolation was a game changer.
how much it effect to fps?
Hey can what app you recommend for playing your games on your tv screen wireless
I'm pretty sure you don't want to disable Xbox gamebar if you use a 3d cache ryzen CPU(maybe just the 7000 series). It uses the gamebar to know when you're playing a game or not so it can utilize the 3d v-cache
Superb. Thank you so much
If you are using a Laptop use balanced power profile and let nvidia power management on normal because that 2 things makes your gpu work constantly consuming more batery.
Who is gaming on a laptop on battery and not plugged in?
People game on laptop when plugged in only. Otherwise your GPU works halfway.
Hi like the @Chilledoutredhead say....GREAT video, so easy to understand for someone like me, im biginner pc gamer jump from ps4.Thank you so much.
High-performance power option makes your cpu run hotter and pulls more power when you are idle.
Unless you use a proper aio or liquid cooling it will heatup.
I've never seen an issue with that. My CPU still throttles down in idle just like it did before.

After changing my power setting to High performance, my idle power went up an extra 10 watts. Balanced lowers it back down 10 watts. That is on an Intel i5-13600k computer with a Radeon RX 6800 graphics card and the latest drivers.
That's normal.
G'day mate.
Just come across your channel. Find this video interesting, and thought I'd give your recommendations a go.
A few of the settings had already been done, so no issue there.
One i did come across. Core Isolation. I try accessing that, and get a"Page not available." "The page you are trying to access has no supported features and is not available." So i just slipped it. You come across this before?
I'm running Windows 11, and literally updated it before running through your recommended settings.
I liked how easy it was to follow your instructions. I've also subbed to your channel.
Depending on what cable your using for your monitor, (setting your refresh rate to its highest setting is NOT always the best idea.
Im using a display port 1.4 connection from my Alienware AW3423DWF to my RTX4090 and although my monitor has a refresh rate of 165hz, i have to set it at 100hz so that im able to set my color to 10bit.
If i were to run my monitor at 165hz, I can only use 8 bit color in nvidia control panel and windows display manager.
So my advice is dont just automatically set your refresh rate to the highest it possibly can run at without first making sure your connections have the bandwidth available to enable all the features you may want to.
Are you seeing a difference with the 10bit color vs the 165hz, I ask because I have the same monitor you do. Also just so you know, I was able to make a custom res with a rate of 135hz and 10bit still comes up if that's at all good for you too.
@anthonyrizzo9043 , I actually did what you did except I'm able to run it at 165hz and 10bit by creating a custom profile that a bunch of other people were using. I haven't had any issues at all with it running at its full speed and 10bit. I don't have the exact numbers on hand for you, but if you want them for your custom profile I can get them and post them for you. It was only 2 numbers I had to change and that was it. Windows and everything reads it now at the full resolution, 165hz and 10bit with HDR
@@AJerseyJohnnyEntertainment yes I would appreciate that, thank you.
@anthonyrizzo9043 , sorry I didn't get you the exact number bro, I totally forgot. But see how you created a custom profile and was able to change it to 10bit and over 100hz. It's just a weird bug. Supposedly they were going to release a firmware update to fix it, but they haven't as of yet. I read an article explaining what the issue was and it wasn't a hardware issue at all, it absolutely was just a bug. To be honest I was fine running it at 100hz with 10bit color, but alot of games have 120fps options and I have a gpu that can hit those numbers so that's the only reason I wanted it running at its stock speed of 165hz. As for if I can tell the difference between 8bit and 10bit color. Honestly no. Lol I don't think anyone honestly could say they can tell the difference. I do like HDR and can absolutely tell the difference between HDR on and off so I want the 10bit color on.
