My Gaming Story + How i played god of war 60fps with r3 1200 & gtx 1050)

Hi guys! I want to share my gaming story with you because I think it can help a lot of people trying to game on low-end PCs. I have a really bad PC, so I thought I couldn't play many games. However, I tried to boost my FPS for God of War last week and actually got great results!

For those with low-end PCs, here’s what I did: First, I changed my OS to GhostSpectre, which gave me about +5 FPS. Then, I tried overclocking all my PC parts with Afterburner, which also provided a +5 FPS boost (though I don’t really recommend this one).

The best part was discovering Lossless Scaling. I bought it on Steam, and it gave me a fantastic +15 FPS! After that, I found a project called Lossless Scaling++, which is free on GitHub (loseless-scaling.github.io). I tried it, and it produced shocking results—about double what Lossless Scaling provided, giving me +40 FPS in God of War. In the end, I was playing God of War at 65 FPS!

Lossless Scaling isn’t well-known, so I encourage you all to give it a try, even if you have a good PC. It can be life-changing! (I have an R3 1200 and a GTX 1050.)

Ghost Spectre is dubious, at best, in terms of security. It is not recommended.

Welcome to the forum

You can remove a lot of Windows apps via Settings, and pare down your Startup apps to the minimum—leave just Security ones, plus 1-2 you need to have running, eg Steam.

You can remove more 'uninstallable' apps via PowerShell.

For gaming on a low-end PC, go into Task Manager and close down any Background Processes you don't need. Do NOT close down Windows Processes. You can also avoid using overlays and chat apps unless they're integral to your playing experience.

I personally wouldn't dream of installing a modded Windows from unknown sources with zero credibility.
