How to Improve Your PC Performance?

 

 

• Remove any background applications that aren't needed

 

Hardware-hungry programs running in the background can restrict your PC from reaching its full potential in games, especially if you have a low-end PC with limited resources. Closing background apps is a good idea in general.

It would be ideal if your PC could devote all of its resources to games when you're playing, but there's always an operating system and associated services in the background, such as Windows'. Game Mode allocates more of your system's resources to the game you're playing, preventing background activities from consuming valuable CPU resources. Third-party apps, if you're like most people, eat up modest but significant amounts of resources from your CPU, hard disk, and RAM. While you can't completely disable Windows, you can eliminate many of the background activities that you don't need while gaming with software like Game Booster from Razer.

 

 

• Clear your browsing history and cookies

 

It could be time to erase your history and cookies if your browser is functioning slowly. All of your visits are saved, and cookies are collected by your browser. These little files and cookies may quickly mount up and slow down your surfing.

 

 

• Examine your PC for spyware and viruses.

 

Malware removal software can help with sluggish or obvious difficulties with performance or popups. However, programs that provide continuous protection and run in the background should be considered.

To scan your PC for viruses and malware, use the built-in Windows Defender or third-party software. Try Malwarebytes Free if you're hesitant to pay for anti-malware software. Because some antivirus applications take up disk space, you should select one that is optimized for performance. When downloading free software, there may be compatibility concerns.

Remember that antivirus applications take up space, so select one that isn't meant to slow you down.

 

 

• Install the latest graphics drivers

 

In general, unless you're having problems, you shouldn't go out of your way to update your device drivers. Your graphics card, however, is an exception: For example, Nvidia and AMD constantly update their graphics card drivers to improve performance and ensure that new games work with their devices. Installing and maintaining the manufacturer's drivers up to date may offer you a significant performance increase, especially with new games.

Even if you see the Nvidia or AMD driver icon in your taskbar, it doesn't always indicate you have the most recent version. Go to the Nvidia, AMD, or Intel download pages, type in your graphics card model, and download the newest driver package.

 

 

• Improve your CPU

 

It would be a mistake to upgrade your GPU without first evaluating your CPU and power supply, as you might wind up bottlenecking the performance of a high-end GPU, or worse. While the GPU handles much of the work, your CPU handles the rest. Some games are "CPU constrained," meaning that their performance is limited by your processor. If your CPU is generally running at full while playing a game and games seem to be slow, even at different graphical settings, you might consider upgrading your CPU.

 

 

• Increase RAM

 

RAM is the cheapest and easiest way to upgrade your PC. RAM stores game files after they've been loaded from your hard disk. The game will constantly read data from your hard drive if you don't have adequate RAM. More RAM ensures that after game files have been loaded from your hard drive, they will be cached and loaded much faster the next time they are needed. Having a sufficient amount of RAM also means that you can quickly return to your desktop, as the desktop apps will remain in RAM if you have enough. You may check your overall RAM utilization in your task manager; if it's at 100% while playing a game, you'll most likely need extra RAM.
