The Method

How It Works

A structured 6-step protocol to recover FPS, stabilise 1% lows, and reduce input latency — with before/after benchmarks as proof.

Not guesswork. Engineered.

Most "PC optimisation" is YouTube rabbit holes, dodgy scripts, and "registry tweaks" that do nothing measurable. This is different: every session follows the same structured method, benchmarks before and after, and only keeps changes that move the numbers. If nothing improves, you don't pay.

The 6-Step Protocol

Each step builds on the last. Nothing is skipped, nothing is assumed.

1

System Forensic (Baseline)

Before touching anything, we establish exactly where you are. CapFrameX captures your average FPS, 1% lows, frametime graph, and latency behaviour across a real gameplay scenario. This baseline is the benchmark everything gets measured against — no changes are kept unless they beat it.

Tools used: CapFrameX · HWinfo · MSI Afterburner
2

BIOS Architecture

Your BIOS contains settings that can silently cost 10–20% performance — most PCs ship with them off or misconfigured. We check XMP/EXPO (RAM speed profiles), Resizable BAR, CPU boost behaviour, and power delivery. Every change is confirmed safe for your specific hardware before it's applied.

Memory & Scheduling

RAM configuration is one of the most overlooked performance levers, especially for 1% lows. We check speed, timings, and dual-channel config. We also address CPU scheduling — background processes, CPU affinity issues, and power plan behaviour that cause stutters even when your hardware looks fine in Task Manager.

4

OS Cleanup (No Snake Oil)

We remove what actually costs performance: startup apps fighting for CPU on boot, overlay software adding latency (Discord, GeForce Experience, Xbox Game Bar), unnecessary services, and background update processes. We don't touch security software or anything that could destabilise your system. No "debloat scripts" — every change is manual and explained.

GPU Curve Engineering

Your GPU settings — both in-driver and in-game — have a significant impact on frame pacing, latency, and thermal headroom. We configure NVIDIA/AMD control panel settings properly, set an optimal frame cap strategy for your monitor and VRR setup, tune in-game graphics for maximum performance-per-frame, and address thermal issues that cause clock drops mid-game.

Focus: Driver settings · Frame cap strategy · In-game config · Thermals
6

Validation & Proof

We re-run the same benchmark from Step 1 and compare the numbers side by side. You see exactly what changed — average FPS, 1% lows, frametime consistency, and latency. If the numbers don't move meaningfully, we keep iterating or revert. You leave with documented before/after data, not a verbal "it should feel better".
