My Settings & Optimization
The Windows, NVIDIA, and Rainbow Six Siege settings I use for a cleaner gaming setup, smoother gameplay, and consistent aim.
Base Setup
- Windows 10 Pro fully updatedKeep Windows updated before tuning anything else. A clean, updated base makes driver and game fixes more consistent.
- NVIDIA driver 610.62Use the current Game Ready Driver version in the setup. After installing, restart the PC before changing NVIDIA Control Panel settings.
- Ultimate Performance power planUse the Ultimate Performance plan so Windows does not aggressively downclock during gaming or recording sessions.
NVIDIA Settings
- Scaling: DisplaySet scaling to run on the display instead of the GPU. This keeps the display handling scaling behavior directly.
- Power management mode: Prefer maximum performanceSet this for gaming so the GPU stays ready instead of dropping power too aggressively during gameplay.
Windows Settings
- Xbox Game Bar: OffTurn off Game Bar if you do not use it for recording or overlays. This keeps one more background layer out of the way.
- VBS: OffDisable Virtualization-Based Security only if you are comfortable trading some Windows security features for potential gaming performance. Restart after changing it.
- Notifications: OffTurn off notifications while gaming so popups do not interrupt clips, ranked games, or recordings.
- Do Not Disturb: OnUse Do Not Disturb during gaming or recording so Windows keeps alerts quiet.
Mouse Settings
- Enhance pointer precision: OffTurn off Enhance pointer precision in Windows mouse settings. This disables Windows mouse acceleration and keeps aim more consistent.
These are personal gaming settings, not a universal fix. Test each change and keep what feels better on your own PC.
