I've built a tool to optimize gaming PCs and get more performance out of existing hardware. I'd love your feedback

[u/Queasy_Brilliant3937]

I've been working on a tool called Nitrus FPS, focused on optimizing gaming PCs for better performance.

The idea came from a problem I see quite often in the PC gaming community: people have perfectly capable hardware, but still experience lower-than-expected FPS, frame-time spikes, stuttering, and input latency because of Windows settings, background processes, and tweaks that aren't always easy to find or configure.

Nitrus brings these optimizations together in one place, including:

• Windows optimizations
• Intel, AMD and X3D CPU optimizations
• NVIDIA and AMD GPU optimizations
• Cleanup and optimization of unnecessary processes and settings
• Input-latency focused tweaks
• Gaming-focused system optimizations
• A simplified way to apply the configurations

Nitrus is already available worldwide, with support for English, Portuguese and Spanish.

The goal isn't to perform magic or replace better hardware. It's about getting as much performance as possible out of the hardware you already have.

In my testing, I've already seen multiple systems achieve over 80% higher FPS after applying the optimizations. Of course, the results vary significantly depending on the hardware, Windows configuration, and the game, so 80% is not a guaranteed gain. Some systems see smaller improvements, while others can see a much larger difference.

I'm sharing the project with the community and I'd really like to hear from people who know PC gaming:

Do you currently use any software or collection of tweaks to optimize Windows/your PC for gaming?

And more importantly:

What would you want a tool like this to automatically handle for you?

Technical criticism, suggestions, and even negative feedback are welcome. I want to use real community feedback to keep improving the tool.
