How to Check FPS: The number was lower than expected. Always lower than expected. That seems to be the universal gaming experience. You spend time tweaking your graphics settings, convinced you found the sweet spot between quality and performance. The game feels smoother. You are sure of it. But without an FPS counter running, you…
How to Use GPU-Z. Most people download it, look at a wall of numbers, and close it immediately. The interface is not welcoming. There are no instructions. Nothing tells you which numbers matter, which ones to ignore, or what any of it means for your gaming performance. So the tool that could tell you exactly…
How to Use MSI Afterburner. You installed it. You launched your game. Nothing appeared on screen. Or maybe the overlay worked fine for months and then one game update broke it completely.

Overclocking implies asking that worker to work faster than the established factory norms. It is done by increasing…
How to check GPU health is simple if you follow a quick routine. From your task manager you can check your GPU usage, confirm status in Device Manager and run DxDiag for errors.
