Maximizing PC gaming to its full potential

The first form of performance enhancement Game Mode targets is the increase in overall framerate. Its second form of gaming enhancement is the increase of average framerate.

That means achieving a stable and consistent framerate all throughout the gaming experience. Game Mode achieves this by distributing your computers CPU and GPU capabilities to the currently running game. Of course, this means that all the processes in the background are given less attention by the CPU.

When game mode is enabled, games will certainly be the computer's number one priority. There will even be an area in the system settings that's specifically dedicated to gaming.
