Features
Every tool in the app, and what it actually does.
FPS BOOST is one Windows app with nine parts. Scans only read. The two settings it can change are listed at the bottom of this page, with how they go back.
01
Scan
Pick your game and scan. Every finding says what it costs and what to do, sorted into System, Background and your game.
- System
- Power plan, Game Mode, VBS, how many RAM sticks and at what speed, NVIDIA driver crashes in the last 24 hours.
- Background
- A 3-second sample of CPU use. Apps above 5% are marked to fix, above 2% worth a look.
- Game
- CS2's cs2_video.txt, Valorant's saved config, Minecraft's options and the RAM given to it.

02
BOOST
One press switches to a performance power plan, turns on Game Mode, closes the apps you ticked, pauses Wallpaper Engine and launches your game.
- Goes back
- When the session ends, when you close the app, or at the next start if Windows crashed mid-session.
- You choose
- Only ticked apps are closed. Browsers restore their tabs when reopened.
03
Benchmark & Results
Play for 60 seconds while FPS BOOST records every frame. You get average FPS, 1% and 0.1% lows and the minimum, with a progress bar while it runs.
- Before / after
- Run it once normally and once boosted. Results shows what BOOST gained you, per game.
- How
- Frame times come from Windows event tracing, which is why Windows asks for admin permission here.

04
In-game overlay
FPS, 1% low, frame time, CPU, GPU and RAM in the corner you pick. It's a separate click-through window, so it never touches the game.
- GPU readings
- From nvidia-smi on NVIDIA cards.

05
Session report
When you quit the game, a short report says whether your graphics card or your CPU was the limit, and which app took CPU while you played.
06
Network test
Pings your router, your internet connection and CS2's servers to find where lag comes from: Wi-Fi, your home network, your provider, or distance. Then it says what would help, like a cable.
- No "ping tweaks"
- Registry tweaks don't lower ping in modern games, so the app doesn't use them.
07
Storage cleaner
Shows the size first, then deletes temp files older than a day and crash dumps from your own user folders. Shader caches and the Recycle Bin only if you tick them.
- Never
- Documents, downloads, games or saves. Files in use are skipped.
08
Specs, upgrade advice & drivers
CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, storage, monitors and network in one list you can copy to Discord. It tells you whether the CPU or the graphics card is the limit, spots RAM running below its rated speed and games on a hard drive, and checks how old your graphics driver is.
- Drivers
- Opens NVIDIA's, AMD's or Intel's official page. It never downloads or installs drivers itself.

What it touches
The complete list. If it isn't here, FPS BOOST doesn't do it.
| What | How | When |
|---|---|---|
| Power plan and Game Mode | Changes | Only when you press Fix or BOOST. Old values saved; Undo or session end puts them back. |
| Background apps you tick | Closes | On BOOST. |
| Wallpaper Engine | Pauses | On BOOST. Resumes on its own. |
| Old temp files and crash dumps | Deletes | Only when you press Clean. |
| VBS, RAM, CPU and GPU details | Reads | On scan. |
| GPU driver crash log | Reads | On scan. |
| CS2, Valorant and Minecraft settings | Reads | On scan. Never written. |
| Your router, internet and CS2 servers | Pings | On the network test. |
| Frame timing | Measures | During the benchmark and overlay. |
| Windows services, drivers, BIOS, game files, game memory | Never | No overclocking, no injection, no mining. |
