I get 0 hits on 'SystemPropertiesPerformance' 'Ultimate Performance'/'powercfg' 'affinity' 'shader cache'. Those things were most helpful to me and i think will get you a lot of traffic from people looking to boost their performance (being poe1 or 2)

I'm open to the feedback (thanks) - but the goal, at least initially, is to provide a set of shall we say... safe and uncontroversial advice for people, which can be given freely without knowing anything about the reader, their setup, and their technical proficiency.

I'm not sure it makes sense to encourage the average, not especially tech savvy person to venture off the beaten path into modifying CPU core affinities - or notably dialling up their system's power usage (read: heat output) when it could be some OEM build with two intake fans behind a sheet of glass at the front of the case which is on the verge of overheating at standard settings.

I could definitely see a new section with some disclaimers which is designed to cater to people who are more confident with advanced system modification, but for now it's intended more to help people troubleshoot problems than to eek out every last bit of performance.

also isn't it a bit late to the party? i feel like anyone capable of reaching beyond the official channels will/can ask an llm to troubleshoot their issue these days and even get shell scripts to automate it for them. is there even a demand for this?

There's definitely growing usage of LLMs, for sure - and it'll be interesting to see where that goes.

Do you really think the average person has even heard of shell scripts, though?


The website is intended to cater to a wide audience. :)

I also think you under estimate a poe player, i don't think a person needing help with connecting their monitor to the actual gpu port will be playing poe :P ... or maybe i'm the one over estimating them. anyhow, best of luck on the project!

You are overestimating a *lot* of players. I have lost count of the number of <facepalms> I have done on reading some of the issues that PoE players have. Including those who have not connected their monitor to the GPU port.......
