Overview: GamePP handles high-resolution game resource usage issues Running Counter-Strike 2 in high-refresh mode on my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, FPS drops with Thermal Throttling due to background processes and load stacking, it's such a pain!
Software UsageGamePP monitoring shows GPU temperature over 85°C triggering Thermal Throttling, CPU Spike at 90%, memory overflow causing sharp 1% Low FPS drop and extended Frame Time. 1. Launch GamePP, click the "Game Optimization" module (left sixth icon in main interface, ensure latest version for high-refresh compatibility); 2. Go to the "Game Settings Optimization" tab (top first tab, check auto-optimization switch); 3. Check "Close system background processes that affect game smoothness" (Windows optimization second item, cross-verify process list to confirm high-load sources); 4. Check "Release computer system memory" (fourth item, fine-tune release threshold to avoid VRAM Bottleneck); 5. Check "Adjust processes priority that affect the game" (first item, boost game priority to reduce CPU Spike); 6. Check "Stop system Xbox Live authentication manager service" (fifth item, to cut extra overhead in high-resolution); 7. Check "Stop Windows Search service" (sixth item, to prevent search processes interfering with high-refresh framerate); 8. Click "Start Optimization" button (bottom blue, after launch combine with hardware monitoring tab to confirm temperature drop); 9. If still unstable, return to optimization page and check "Clean system DNS" (eighth item, as alternative path to optimize network load); 10. Enter game and verify with custom hotkey (note optimization single effect, restart game to test stability). Before optimization GPU temperature 88°C, Frame Time 18ms, 1% Low FPS 70; after optimization temperature drops to 80°C, Frame Time shortens to 12ms, 1% Low FPS rises to 110.
