Windows often defaults to "Balanced" or "Power Saving" modes, which can throttle your CPU.

Many gamers assume it’s a gimmick, but is a genuine FPS booster for mid-range PCs. When enabled, it prioritizes your game’s CPU and GPU access while pausing Windows Update and background notifications.

Is your PC acting like a "jealous ex," hogging resources for background apps instead of your games?. You don’t always need a hardware upgrade to fix lag or low frame rates; often, the bottleneck is Windows itself. By fine-tuning a few system settings, you can achieve smoother gameplay, faster load times, and fewer random slowdowns.

This alone can improve performance by 10–30% for new releases. Use GeForce Experience for NVIDIA or Radeon Software for AMD to stay current.
