Display & refresh rate
Make sure Windows is actually using your monitor's intended refresh rate.
Windows settings, GPU drivers, FPS, input latency and network optimization — explained simply and tested step by step.
Get a quick browser-based profile of your PC, display and graphics environment, then receive a personalized checklist of what to check next.
CPU threads, browser-exposed memory, graphics renderer, display information and platform — followed by practical gaming checks. It never changes your Windows settings.
Build a game profile, diagnose FPS or network symptoms, track before/after benchmarks and generate a shareable PC fingerprint.
The Lab turns PCTweaker from a collection of guides into a practical troubleshooting workflow. Measurements stay in your browser where applicable.
Before changing advanced settings, get Windows, your display and your background apps under control.
Make sure Windows is actually using your monitor's intended refresh rate.
Review Windows gaming features and per-game graphics preferences.
Reduce unnecessary background work without blindly disabling Windows services.
Check GPU drivers, CPU/GPU temperatures and clocks before troubleshooting FPS.
Don't apply twenty tweaks at once. Identify the bottleneck first.
Learn the difference between average FPS, 1% lows and frametime — and diagnose CPU, GPU, RAM and thermal limits.

Refresh rate, V-Sync, FPS caps, mouse polling and supported low-latency technologies.
Read the checklist →Connection quality is more than the number beside “ping”. Check jitter, packet loss, server region and local congestion.
AtlasOS is an advanced Windows modification. It is optional, requires a supported reinstall process and should be treated as an experiment — not a guaranteed FPS button.
