Оптимизация реестра windows 10 для игр

The performance of your computer is extremely important when it comes to enjoying video game’s the way they were meant to be played. Things like slow frame rates and high ping can ruin the gaming experience. And when it comes to competitive online play, your computer’s performance could be the difference between winning and losing.

If you find the performance of your computer lagging when playing video games, there are a couple of things you can do to improve it. We’re going to discuss five Registry hacks that can give your PC a performance boost in the gaming department.

But First, Before You Edit the Windows Registry…

While looking for registry hacks to improve your PC’s performance, you may get suggestions to use a Registry cleaner. We advise you to not bother with registry cleaners, as they provide no noticeable performance improvement and may even mess up the registry.

Furthermore, we advise that you create a system restore point. This will create a snapshot of the state your computer is in at that time. In the event something goes wrong while editing the registry, you can use the system restore point you created to return your PC to a previous working state.

5 Registry Hacks to Improve Gaming Performance on Your Windows PC

To carry out these hacks, you’re going to need to launch the Windows Registry Editor. The easiest way to do that is to press Win + R to open Windows Run. In the text box, type regedit and then click OK. Then, click Yes on the UAC prompt to open the Registry Editor.

Now you can go ahead and use the Registry Editor to make gaming smoother on your Windows PC with the tweaks below.

1. Disable Fast Startup

Fast Startup may make your Windows PC load faster, but it also prevents it from fully shutting down. During a shutdown, the feature logs out every user, closes all the programs, and puts the rest of the system in a hibernation state before finally turning off the computer.

Coming out of this hibernation state when booting up can cause some processes to misbehave, which can make your PC slower than normal. This is not good for gaming, as this can negatively impact a game’s frames per second (FPS).

To disable Fast Startup, open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager > Power. Double-click the HyperBootEnabled entry, change Value data to 1, and click OK.

Be advised that disabling Fast Startup will increase the boot time for your Windows machine. However, it could be worth it if you get the best gaming performance out of it.

2. Disable Power Throttling

Power Throttling causes the CPU to slow down so it doesn’t consume too much battery power. Unfortunately, this can come with a small but noticeable performance loss.

Particularly, when it comes to gaming, a throttled CPU can limit the potential of the GPU, creating what is known as a bottleneck. That’s because the GPU is running at a speed higher than what the CPU can handle, which can negatively impact a game’s frame rate.

To disable Power Throttling, open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power > PowerThrottling. Double-click the PowerThrottlingOff entry, change Value Data to 1, and click OK.

In some cases, you can go to the Power key in the Registry Editor and not find the PowerThrottling key inside it. If that’s the case, you can disable Power Throttling through the Local Group Policy Editor as well.

To do that, press Win + R, type gpedit.msc in the text box, and hit the Enter key. In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Power Throttling Settings. Then, double-click the Turn off Power Throttling policy.

This will disable Power Throttling, meaning Windows will no longer throttle the CPU, among other things, when trying to conserve battery power.

3. Disable Nagle’s Algorithm

Windows uses Nagle’s Algorithm to reduce the number of packets sent over a network by combining them into a larger one. This can cause problems when the packets are small, meaning it will take longer to build them up enough to be sent as one large chunk.

While this technology initially sounds useful, it can increase the ping of some online games. As such, if you’re experiencing high ping in a game, disabling Nagle’s Algorithm can help.

To do that, open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Tcpip > Parameters > Interfaces. The goal here is to find the interface (those keys named with different characters in between curly brackets) for the connection you’re using. So, go through each one and look at the value for the DhcpIPAddress entry.

The value for this entry should match your internet connection’s IPv4 address.

To get the connection’s IPv4 address, press Win + S to open Windows Search. Then, type control panel in the search box and click on Control Panel in the search results.

In the Control Panel, head to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and click on the link next to Connections for the internet connection you’re gaming with.

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

Click the Details button.

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

Check the IP address next to IPv4 address.

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

Once you find a match, right-click the interface and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

Name this new entry TcpNoDelay. Then, create another one the same way and name it TcpAckFrequency. Double-click on them one by one and change Value Data to 1 for both entries.

4. Disable Network Throttling

To keep the internet connection stable on your PC, Windows will sometimes throttle your network, which can reduce its speed. For online gaming, this can result in a higher ping. You can rectify that by disabling Network Throttling.

To do that, open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > Multimedia > SystemProfile. Double-click the NetworkThrottlingIndex entry, change Value Data to ffffffff, and click OK.

5. Prioritize Gaming Tasks

Windows has a service known as Multimedia Class Scheduler service (MMCSS). Its job is to ensure that multimedia applications, such as games, get priority access to more CPU power when they’re performing time-sensitive tasks. And with a couple of Registry tweaks, you can tell MMCSS to give games a much higher priority.

To do this, launch the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > Multimedia > SystemProfile > Tasks > Games. Here, we are going to change the Value data of the following entries (double-click to open them):

• GPU Priority: Change it to 8.
• Priority: Change it to 6.
• Scheduling Category: Change it to High.

Enjoy Improved Gaming Performance on Your Windows PC

Tweaking the Registry to get the results you want is not that hard, but you need to know what you’re doing. Try out some of these Registry hacks, and see which ones give your PC the improved gaming performance you’ve been looking for. If they don’t work or cause problems just return the entries to their original values.

Draft and Proofreader Literature buff. Working with words is right up my alley. Technology, gadgets and audio devices attract me. Hence I am with Tech Dimension. Books, and a cup of coffee, are the ideal winter night for me.

For gaming optimally on your PC, there is just so much Windows Settings or the Control Panel can provide. If you want to take complete control, you should use some Windows Registry hacks to improve gaming.

Windows Registry is like a digital filing cabinet for your PC where Windows records all the Windows settings and changes. Unlike the UI-based Settings, Windows doesn’t police the Registry to ensure users don’t mess up anything. So it has no limit on how you can modify the system.

Any changes you make to it are done at your own risk. If you are willing to take the risk, you can take full advantage of this freedom and fully optimize your PC resources and network to get the best gaming experience.

In this post, I’ll share some Windows Registry hacks that will ensure your PC gives the best gaming experience that it is capable of. And don’t worry, I’ll provide all the instructions you need to safely apply these hacks.

Managing Windows Registry

Before I tell you how to apply these hacks, you must know how to properly access and manage the Registry. An incorrect change in the registry can negatively impact Windows or even fully corrupt it, and it can be quite difficult to fix a broken Registry.

Below I am going to tell you how to access, backup, and navigate Windows Registry. Make sure you follow the instructions as is to avoid any issues.

Access Windows Registry

The easiest way to open the Windows Registry is to search for registry in Windows Search and open the Registry Editor app. However, a more reliable method would be to use the Run command instead since Windows Search can be disabled. Just press the Windows+R keys and type regedit in the Run dialog to open the Registry.

You may also open the Registry as administrator by right-clicking the app and selecting Run as administrator. This will ensure you can edit all the entries and don’t face any restrictions while editing. However, it isn’t necessary as Windows can just ask you to give administrator permissions when an entry requires it.

Backup Windows Registry

Before making any edits, it’s crucial to back up the Registry to ensure you can fix it in case of an incorrect entry. Thankfully, it’s really easy to do that. Once the Registry opens, click on the File menu and select Export from it. Save this file somewhere safe so you can access it later.

When you need to restore the Registry, click on the File menu again and select Import to import this saved file. You can also use a Registry cleaner app as most have backup and restore features.

Navigating Windows Registry

Windows Registry is organized like a hierarchical tree using keys, subkeys, and values. There are five main keys and many subkeys with their own values. You can create new keys and values as required.

To access a specific key, you’ll have to open all the parent keys to reach it. You can either do this manually by clicking on each key or copy/paste the key location in the search bar at the top.

To make things easier for you, I’ll give you the exact location of the keys that you need to edit for each hack. You can just copy/paste it in the search bar right where Computer\ is written and the Registry will open the exact location.

When changes are made, most of them are applied immediately. However, many require you to restart the PC or at least logoff and then log on again. I’ll recommend you restart your PC after applying the below hacks.

Disable Power Throttling

Windows throttles CPU power in different situations to save power. Even though you should be more concerned about this if you are optimizing gaming on a laptop, it can happen to desktop users too, depending on power settings. This can be really bad for games as not only does it affect the CPU performance, but the GPU too.

Since it can lead to the GPU running faster than the CPU, it can create a bottleneck situation where overall performance is negatively affected. To avoid this, you can disable power throttling in the registry. Here’s how:

In the Registry, move to the below-mentioned location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerThrottling

In the PowerThrottling key, there will be a PowerThrottlingOff entry in the right panel. Open it and change its value to 1.

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

If the entry isn’t there, then create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value entry under PowerThrottling and name it PowerThrottlingOff. Once created, change its value to 1.

Turn Off Network Throttling

Windows has a default mechanism to throttle the network under certain circumstances; it mainly affects non-media content. However, depending on your network speed and usage, it can also affect gameplay and lead to high ping and spikes. It’s better to just disable this feature to avoid a chance of it messing up your gameplay.

To do so, move to this location in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile

Here double-click on NetworkThrottlingIndex and set its value to ffffffff.

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

If you notice problems with network usage of background processes after this change, you can always change this value back to 10.

Optimize TCP

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a protocol that governs how computers establish connections and reliably exchange data over networks, ensuring data arrives correctly and in the right order. Optimizing TCP directly improves your connection bandwidth usage, lowers latency, and stabilizes the connection.

For gaming, this means improved ping (especially to servers far away), and a lower chance of ping spikes, lag, and disconnections. If you are still using the default Windows TCP settings, then there are a bunch of TCP optimizations you can make to improve your online gaming experience.

First, open the below location in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Here in the right column, there are multiple entries that you can adjust to optimize TCP. Below I am listing all of them with the optimized values that you should apply. Just double-click on an entry, select Decimal, and then change the value to the optimum one.

DefaultTTL > 64
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize > 65535
MaxUserPort > 65534
Tcp1323Opts > 1
TcpMaxDupAcks > 2
TCPTimedWaitDelay > 30

Disable CPU Core Parking

When there is less load on the CPU, Windows can turn off CPU cores to conserve power and minimize heat. If you are looking for the best gaming experience, turning off this feature can slightly improve performance.

However, you should only do this when even slightly smoother experience matters to you. Windows, by default, is really good at handling the cores, so it won’t affect your gameplay significantly. Below are some possible issues core parking introduces:

• The parking and unparking process adds slight latency, which is noticeable in fast-paced games.
• Before disabling a core, Windows may migrate its processes to another core, which can introduce slight latency.
• The game FPS may fluctuate.
• It can create a bottleneck situation for games that depend on the CPU, as the GPU runs at a higher power than the CPU.
• Many games that utilize multiple cores may not be optimized to work well with core parking. They may not use full CPU power even though they can.

If heat and power efficiency aren’t a problem for you, then you may disable core parking from the Registry.

Move to the below-mentioned location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583

Here change the value of Attributes entry to 0.

Prioritize Games

In the Registry, you can tell Windows to prioritize games when allocating CPU and GPU resources. This will not only ensure stable performance with minimum stutters but could also improve overall game performance if other processes were affecting it.

Open up this location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games

Here, you need to change the value of multiple entries, as I list below:

Affinity > f
Background Only > False
Background Priority > 1
GPU Priority > 8
Priority > 6
Scheduling Category > High
SFIO Priority > High
SFIO Rate > 4

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

If Background Priority and SFIO Rate are not available here, then create two new DWORD Value entries and add the names and values, respectively.

Decrease Maximum Pre-rendered Frames

If your CPU is good enough to handle your gaming needs, then you can decrease maximum pre-rendered frames to reduce input latency. By default, the GPU renders some frames in advance before showing them on the screen. This ensures that games don’t stutter in case the CPU has to perform a different task that could delay the frame.

If you know your CPU can handle both the game and secondary tasks without a problem, then you can decrease this number to decrease the slight latency this introduces.

Go to this location in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Direct3D

Here, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value entry and name it MaxPreRenderedFrames. Once created, change its value to 1, which will mean that only 1 frame is pre-rendered.

Increase System Responsiveness

Another option that creates a balance between foreground (games) and background tasks. By default, Windows makes sure that 20% of CPU resources are reserved for low-priority tasks.

You can further decrease this to 10% to free up more resources for foreground processes like games. However, it could affect background tasks if the game utilizes all the resources, and 10% isn’t enough, so be careful.

Move to this location in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile

Here change the value of SystemResponsiveness to 10.

Turn Off Nagle’s Algorithm

By default, Windows uses Nagle’s Algorithm that ensures network efficiency by storing small packets and sending them as large packets instead. This saves bandwidth and prevents network congestion. However, in online gaming, this behavior also introduces latency as the network waits for sufficient packets to accumulate before sending them.

I will recommend you experiment with this to see if it actually improves your in-game ping or not. If it doesn’t, you should keep it enabled to ensure your network stays efficient.

To disable Nagle’s Algorithm, you need to know your IPv4 address first. To find out, press the Windows+R keys and type cmd in the Run dialog to open the Command Prompt. Here use the ipconfig/all Command Prompt command. This will show lots of information about the network. Take note of the IPv4 Address here.

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

Afterward, open the below-mentioned location in the Windows Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

There will be a bunch of interface keys. Open each one and look at the DhcpIPAddress value of each. You need to find the one that has the DhcpIPAddress value the same as your IPv4 address.

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

Once found, create two DWORD (32-bit) Value entries inside that interface key and then name them TcpNoDelay and TcpAckFrequency. Afterward, change the value of each to 1 to disable Nagle’s Algorithm.

Картинка с сайта: geekflare.com

If this doesn’t improve your in-game ping, make sure you delete both of these new entries to enable Nagle’s Algorithm.

Ending Words

I have personally applied all of these hacks, and I can see a noticeable improvement in both the in-game ping and performance. Talking about performance, I didn’t achieve any noticeably higher FPS, probably because I have already optimized Windows Settings to boost performance. Although I suddenly see no stutters in games that used to stutter when heavy VFX was used.
