Windows Gaming Tweaks
My little guide is all about Windows 10 Gaming (and a little bit Linux!) and I really mean gaming! There exist tons of outdated guides and myths when it comes to "game tweaking" but they are mostly wrong, so I wrote my own guide to show the things which really do make the difference!
General "tweak" advice
- [x] Do not use any
all-in-one tweak tools/programs or scripts
, it's not worth it. - [x] Do always a backups of your current Windows 10 state. I recommend Macrium Reflect or (FOSS & cross-platform) restic.
- [x] There is no Voodoo tweak or
regtweak.awesome.reg
which increases your OS/Game performance like 50%. - [x] Do it yourself and don't be lazy - use brain.exe and do not copy tweaks from the internet!.
This guide is not designed for:
- [x] Security / Virtual Machine (VM)
- [x] OS Hardening
- [x] Game only tweaks or modifications, you can check nexusmods for this.
- [x] Older Windows 10 versions, we only list tweaks for the latest stable version.
Clarifications regarding the term "tweaking"
- [x] Tweaks usually do not magically increase any in-game FPS. There are specific circumstances in which the OS can be tweaked to improve or stabilize the game smoothness, when you for example cap your FPS to get rid of the overheap which otherwise might have result in an in-game stuttering.
- [x] Tweaks should not be randomly applied via a "universal" script or tool because the OS itself changes over time and the configuration is different for each user. This is the reason why this project don't provide a general "myawesomescript.ps1" script.
- [x] Tweaks are defined by: "Latency improvements", "Engine related improvements/workarounds", "FPS workarounds/fixes", "CPU usage" "RAM usage", "OS workarounds", "Driver workarounds" or "Network latency optimization". All of them can have an impact on the OS, game or network performance which means the OS/game might runs more stable (smooth) or on higher fps (e.g. if overclocked or optimized).
- [x] Known issues and possible workarounds do not count as tweaks, they are workarounds for problems Microsoft needs to fix.
Philosophy
- [x] Possible performance related problems should be reported directly to Microsoft, nVidia, AMD and/or the Game Develop Studio to address them so that everyone gets the same benefit. In terms of fair play it is better.
- [x] A perfect OS does not need to be tweaked, the same goes for games but this will never happen due to several things e.g. bugs, different PC configurations, engine related problems and many more circumstances.
- [x] I do not claim to be the "tweak master" but I'm a long time experienced gamer and had the chance to get an insight into the Windows kernel (Windows XP - 7).
