Improving game performance

What softwares do you guys use to improve your gaming performance? I've been getting unimpressive frame rates for my machine (GTX 970 and FX 6300), I'm hunting down ANY way I can improve/optimize my PC for gaming.

 

There really isnt any software that can improve game performance, make sure you have as  few background tasks as possible, overclock your stuff as much as you can and choose appropriate settings

 

the FX6300 is not the best gaming CPU so that could be a reason yuo are getting unimpressive framerates

 

not much that random software can fix

crtl+alt+del

task manager

kill crapware on start up or disable undesired services from running in the background hogging resources.

 

for single player games

 - run steam in offline mode with overlays disabled.

 

and yea, config settings is a big deal.

With this level of a machine, do backround tasks matter as much?  :huh:

I have overclocked the CPU to 4.6 ghz, which negates the bottlenecks (i've heard)

level of a machine doesn't necessarily matter with crap code.  Shit in a plastic bowl or shit in fine china is still shit.

Holy shit, just checked, I DO have 56 apps running in the backround I'll try that, or for a faster way I'll get game booster to clean it all up.

nope the FX series are still shitty for gaming, over-clocking a bit will not remove the bottleneck, the main issue is that the FX series has poor single threaded performance - and this is exactly what games use since most are not optimised for multiple threads

Never liked gamebooster, just go into msconfig (or ctrl alt del startup on 8.1) and untick all programs you do not need at start up and restart your PC

I have checked on countless forums, It DOES negate the bottleneck, but the performance remains the same, I will be upgrading to a better CPU soon.

If something has poor performance, overclocking it barely makes a difference,- if performance remains the same, then you have not fixed the bottleneck

 

the problem is that the FX line is just too slow for gaming - hence it is bottlenecking your card - OCing might add like 5% tops performance but thats not really much

 

example - even if you had the 8350 it still blows

That's sad, so PG restrictions? or just keepin' it clean.

Or they may just want inspire and enabling people to be better and discourage potential toxic community elements.  I'm just not a good person tho ;P (at least not today...or this week..or these last few years actually)

Apparently if you have problems with FPS. Besides that, adding another software to Boost gaming would be another background program hogging ram and cpu usage.
