If you just got your first gaming PC for Christmas, here are 5 essential settings you must change to make sure your PC is running at its fullest potential. The very first thing you want to do is don't plug your monitor HDMI or display cable into your motherboard, but instead plug it directly into the graphics card instead. This will actually make sure you're actually using your graphics card and not your CPU's integrated graphics. After your monitor is running at the highest refresh rate automatically. It won't be. To do this, hit Windows + I on your keyboard, select display, advanced display, then display, then put your monitor's refresh rate to the highest option available. Next, to keep your GPU long, download and install your graphics card's latest drivers. If you have an NVIDIA GPU like me, then make sure to use the NVIDIA app. And if for some reason you have an AMD card, you can use the AMD software and make sure you do this frequently. Next, we want to make sure your PC is utilizing its full speed. To do this, reboot your PC, start spamming the delete key to enter your BIOS, then select the XMP profile and make sure it's activated. You'll now set to start gaming and enjoy your new PC. Make sure to save this video for later so you don't forget. You may as well drop a follow for more.
