PC Optimization tutorial

Chipper500 · 30 May 2018 at 11:38

Hello all,

My PC is currently a number of years old, primarily my GPU (MSI 290x Lightning). because of the this, I am trying to optimise my PC settings and configure my software to ensure i am getting the most out of the system.

Outside of overclocking the GPU (which i have already done) i was hoping to find a good youtube tutorial on how to optimise other parts of my system, windows etc....

I was going to use this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaYbFmB2rDw, however, there are some negative comments at the bottom. So before i go ahead and carry out changes in the video i was hoping to get some opinions from you guys.

If this video isn't great can you guys recommend another to me?

Thanks as always

Chipper

Sorry should have posted this in the original post:

Win 10
MSI Lightning 290x
i5 4690k @ 3.50 o/c'ed to 4.00 ghz
8G DDR3 Ram
Acer XR34 3440 x 1440
SSD Hard drive

I've been putting of buying a new GPU due to the high price and not great performance from the current Vega models, so im trying to push as much out of this systems as possible atm and with the monitor its difficult

i tend to play Total War games and MMOrpgs

Thanks for the suggestions guys, going to have a look into a number of them

i reinstalled Win 10 and surprisingly i have refound around an extra 20% according to my benchmarks.

However to play AAA games with this monitor i am looking into the current Vega deals, prob the 56 version. IIRC my power supply is a Superflower 650X, would this require upgrading for the Vega 56?
