Real results on real hardware
Measured on stock systems, stock drivers, Windows defaults vs Vax Tweaker 2.4.2. Same session, same hardware, methodical before/after.
Counter-Strike 2
Intel Core i5-12400F · NVIDIA RTX 3060 · 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
Tested on Windows 11 23H2, stock BIOS, no overclocking. Gaming Mode active.
Results vary by hardware, game settings and baseline system state.
Apex Legends
AMD Ryzen 5 5600H · NVIDIA RTX 3060 Mobile · 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
Performance mode enabled in Windows. Laptop plugged in, high-performance power plan. AMD Profile not active (NVIDIA GPU detected).
Laptop results vary significantly with thermal state, power mode and background workloads.
VALORANT
Intel Core i7-9700K · NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super · 32 GB DDR4 3600 MHz
Competitive settings: 1080p, all graphics low/off. VALORANT is heavily CPU-bound at these settings. The i7-9700K had substantial headroom that bloated services and a throttled power plan were consuming. Full module set applied, Gaming Mode active.
Results vary by hardware, game settings and baseline system state. High gains on CPU-bound titles at low graphics are expected and reproducible.
Methodology disclosure: Benchmarks recorded using CapFrameX with a 90-second run after 30-second warmup. Averages shown are 1% low / average FPS from 5 consecutive runs with OSD overlay disabled. Results depend on full system configuration, background processes, thermal state and Windows update status. Your results will vary. These figures represent observed gains on the listed hardware configurations only.
