does reinstalling Windows 10 improve gaming performance?

[Frost]

just wondering lol.. i'm not sure if my laptop runs better when i first have it.. but some of my games these days stutters sometimes.. it's not a big deal that's why i'm just wondering..

Do you have any large games installed on the SDD?

GTA, Battlefield, Battlefront, Call of Duty etc..

there is no single game in the SSD..

i even install my Steam Software in my HDD lol..

1. I would recommend using the latest version of Windows.

2. Performance gain is a yes, and no thing, but really it comes down to your hardware, such as RAM, and CPU. I seen your posts, so you shouldn't even notice much at all, really what you will notice is using Win10 vs Linux.

3. Privacy isn't an issue, since you can turn them off using win10 privacy, shutup10, etc... People will argue about it, claiming you can't config anything on Win10, comparing to every other OS, when they fail to know that you have full access to everything on Win10 just like the rest of them.

4. Do you have any other questions?

Why would you be ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Remove some programs to free up space. And some random lag and stutter is normal.

Sure if you really want to you could nuke Windows and start over again with a fresh install but it will only be a matter of time before you fill up the SSD/HDD again.

rule out network/internet latency i mean uh "lag" =P

*this is kinda "advanced" so if you cant/wont use a restore point, then dont bother, just saying this is legit.

Things to do before doing any changes within your OS:
Windows 10 is up to date.
Make a backup-image of your system in case something goes wrong.
How to Tweak Windows 10 for Gaming
Nagle’s Algorithm
Nagle’s algorithm combines several small packets into a single, larger packet for more efficient transmissions. This is designed to improve throughput efficiency of data transmission. Disabling “nagling” can help reduce latency/ping in some games. Nagle’s algorithm is enabled in Windows by default.

To implement this tweak, modify the following registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{NIC-id}
For the {NIC-id}, look for the one with your IP address listed. Under this {NIC-id} key, create the following DWORD value:

TcpAckFrequency and set it to 1 to disable “nagling” for gaming.
TCPNoDelay and set it also to 1 to disable “nagling”
TcpDelAckTicks and set it to 0
Note: Some reports say that the tweaks did reduce latency when playing Dota 2 and League of Legends but it doesn’t work for some. I have tried it and my latency improved from 110 to 90ms (SEA Server) when playing Dota 2.

Network Throttling Index
Windows implements a network throttling mechanism, the idea behind such throttling is that processing of network packets can be a resource-intensive task. It is beneficial to turn off such throttling for achieving maximum throughput.

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. Under SystemProfile, create a DWORD value and name it to “NetworkThrottlingIndex” then set its Hexadecimal value to ffffffff for gaming and max throughput: ffffffff completely disables throttling.

System Gaming Responsiveness
Multimedia streaming and some games that uses “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) can only utilize up to 80% of the CPU. The “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) ensures prioritized access to CPU resources, without denying CPU resources to lower-priority background applications.

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. From there, create a new DWORD and name it to “SystemResponsiveness” set its hexadecimal value to 00000000 for pure gaming/streaming.

In the same Registry hive as the above tweak, you can also change the priority of Games. To implement this tweak, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games and change the following registry values:

“GPU Priority” change its values to 8 for gaming.
“Priority” set to 6 for gaming.


i made a restore point and tried those settings and as much as i didnt want to believe it shaved 25-30+ms off of dota2!

ALSO router make sure it is configured correctly and QoS enabled, and all that stuff, replace any s**** cables, make sure you have a gigabit lan. you could even throttle your roomates hd netflix binges the list goes on and on, lol.

If you are having actual fps drops, have you ruled out heating issues? laptops get hot and can cause drops in fps, also you should have an FPS counter enabled too.

Don't click that link. It looks like spam.

Yeah it looks like bait but its legit i did it and ive had smooth sailing ever since i could even show you the restore point i made if you wanted but dont think what i link is "spam" like wtf man im here trying to help him out >.>

why do i have a feeling to not trust this lol..

it's playing with regedit which is dangerous as f..
by i mean dangerous because there are so much ♥♥♥♥ to change..

You realize system restore exists, right? I assume you also know how it works. like i said i didnt want to believe but it did
yeah its not for novices, maybe i should have mentioned this.

only if you dont have experience

does it improve every games or just DOTA? because i don't play DOTA..
