Exploring Performance Optimization for Modern Gaming Setups

Hi everyone!

I’ve been experimenting with different gaming setups recently and wanted to get some insight from experienced users here. My current build runs most modern titles smoothly, but I’m interested in optimizing performance further as gaming environments continue to evolve.

With more platforms combining local hardware power and online resources, setups inspired by hybrid cloud gaming models are becoming more common. I’m curious how others are managing system resources when balancing local gameplay, background applications, and online services. Are there specific Windows optimizations, GPU control panel tweaks, or monitoring tools you rely on to maintain consistent performance?

I’m also interested in hearing how you approach thermal management during extended gaming sessions and whether custom fan curves or third-party software make a noticeable difference.
Looking forward to learning from your experiences and suggestions. Thanks!
