In today’s video, you will learn the best settings to speed up performance
and optimize Windows 10 for gaming,
as well as make your PC faster and lower ping in any game!
Hey! What's Up? I’m Victor and welcome to another video of this channel!
Before showing the settings, I recommend you to continue in this video only
if you know how to reinstall your Windows,
in case there is any problem caused by those settings.
And you will make those at your own risk,
and I am not responsible for any problems.
First, you’re going to check the integrity of the system files of Windows 10,
to fix any corrupted files and avoid them from decrease performance in your system and games.
To do that, open the Start Menu and search for “Command Prompt”.
Then, right-click on the corresponding option,
select “Run as Administrator” and click on “Yes” in this request.
Now, copy this command on the description below.
Then, return to the command prompt,
right-click to paste the command and then press “Enter”.
After the process is completed, type “sfc /scannow” and press “Enter”.
And lastly, you must wait for the verification to finish.
Now, you’re going to change the DNS servers and clear the DNS cache on Windows 10,
to lower ping in your games and speed up internet connection.
First, open the Start Menu, search for “Control Panel” and select the corresponding option.
In “View by:”, select “Category”.
Now, navigate to “Network and Internet”, “Network and Sharing Center” and “Change Adapter Settings”.
Then, right-click on your network device and then select “Properties”.
Now, select “Internet Protocol Version 4” and click on “Properties”.
After that, check the option “Use the following DNS Server Addresses”.
Then, in “Preferred DNS Server”, type “1.1.1.1”.
“Alternate DNS Server”, type “8.8.8.8”.
Lastly, click on “OK” and “Close”.
Now, open the Command Prompt as administrator again.
And lastly, type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press “Enter”, to clear the DNS cache and
prevent issues with the new DNS servers.
Now, you'll stop Google Chrome from running in the background,
to prevent it from wasting the resources from your computer when you’re not using it.
First, open Google Chrome.
After that, open the settings by clicking on these three dots and then selecting “Settings”.
Now, click on “Advanced” and “System”.
And lastly, uncheck the option “Continue Running Background Apps When Google Chrome is Closed”.
Now, you will enable two settings to speed up the performance of Windows 10 for gaming.
First, open the Start Menu, search for “Game Mode” and then select “Game Mode Settings”.
Now, make sure this option is enabled, otherwise enable it.
After that, open the Start Menu again,
search for “Power Plan” and select the option “Choose a Power Plan”.
And lastly, you must select the power plan “High Performance”.
Now, you’re going to clear the temporary files on Windows 10,
which are files previously used by programs and, after being used,
they just waste disk space on your PC.
To do that, press “Windows” + “R” on Desktop.
In the field “Open”, type “temp” and click on “OK”.
Now, select all these files by pressing “Ctrl” + “A”.
And then delete all of them by pressing “Shift” + “Delete” and clicking on “Yes”.
Maybe, some files cannot be deleted because they are open in some program.
So, just check the option “Do This for All Current Items” and click on “Skip”.
Now, press “Windows” + “R” on Desktop again, search for “%temp%” and click on “OK”.
Then, select all files and delete all of them.
After that, press “Windows” + “R” on Desktop again for the last time,
search for “Prefetch” and click on “OK”.
Then, select all files and delete all of them.
And I recommend cleaning these temporary files at least once a week.
Now, you will do the defrag process if you use an HDD or the optimization process if you use an SSD,
to avoid fragmented files from causing performance issues in your Windows 10 and games.
So, you will do that by using “Defraggler”.
Then, download and install it by using the link on the description below.
After installing, open Defraggler.
In the list of drives, select “Local Disk (C:)”.
And make sure you are using an HDD or SSD in the option “Media Type”.
Then, in the lower corner, select “Defrag”, if you use an HDD, or “Optimize”, if you use an SSD.
Now, click on “Yes” in this warning.
And lastly, you must wait for the process to finish.
Now, you’re going to stop Microsoft Store Apps from running in background
and wasting the resources from your PC.
To do that, open the Start Menu, search for “Background Apps”
and then select the corresponding option.
And lastly, uncheck this option to stop apps from running in background.
Now, I'm going to show you some settings you can do if you have an NVIDIA graphics card,
to get maximum performance for gaming.
First, right-click on the Desktop and then select “NVIDIA Control Panel”.
Now, select the first tab,
check the option “Use the Advanced 3D Image Settings” and click on “Apply”.
Then, select the tab “Manage 3D Settings”.
In “Image Scaling”, select “On” and choose a percentage of sharpen, 20% for example.
And this feature will improve image quality when playing at lower resolutions.
In “Ambient Occlusion”, select “Performance”.
Then, scroll down until you find the option “Low Latency Mode”, then select “Ultra” on it.
In “Power Management Mode”, select “Prefer Maximum Performance”.
“Texture Filtering - Quality”, select “High Performance”.
And in “Triple Buffering”, select “On”.
Then, click on “Apply”.
Now, select the tab “Configure Surround, PhysX”.
In “Processor”, select your graphics card.
And lastly, click on “Apply” to save the change.
And that was the video!
