GamingGuides
Each guide starts with what you can do by hand, with free tools. Then it shows which of those steps OakmontGamer does for you. Nothing here promises FPS. It tells you how to measure.
OakmontGamer does the measuring in these guides on every session and undoes its changes when the game closes. See what the app does

CS2 stutter how to find what causes it
A CS2 stutter is one frame that took far too long, and the FPS counter hides it. This is how to catch those frames, see what was going on when they happened, and fix that one thing.
CS2 launch options which work, which do nothing, which hurt
Most launch option lists for CS2 were written for CS:GO and copied forward. Some of those options still do what they say, several do nothing in Source 2, and two can make the game run worse.
1% low FPS what it means and how to measure it
Average FPS says how fast a game runs. The 1% low says how bad its worst moments are. It is the number that moves when a game stutters, and the easiest one to measure badly.
Ping spikes how to test for bufferbloat and fix it
Your ping is fine until someone starts a download, then it jumps and the game rubber-bands. That pattern has a name, a 20-second test and a fix that usually costs nothing.
Windows settings for gaming what helps and what is a myth
Every list of Windows tweaks for gaming promises the same thing, and most were measured on someone else's PC, if at all. Here is what the common ones really change, when they matter, and how to find out on yours.
Rust stutter and FPS the causes and the settings that matter
Rust stutters for different reasons than a shooter like CS2. It is heavy on memory, it loads assets every time you join a server, and its engine pauses at regular intervals to clean up. Each of those has its own fix.
Valorant stutter what to check, in order
Valorant is light on the GPU and heavy on the CPU, and it runs at frame rates where one late frame is easy to feel. So most of its stutter comes from things that steal CPU time for a moment, not from graphics settings.
Fortnite stutter the causes and the fixes that work
Most Fortnite stutter has one of three sources: shaders compiling after an update, a PC that runs out of video memory, or something outside the game taking the CPU. They look the same in a match and need different fixes.
Apex Legends stutter texture streaming, shaders and the FPS cap
Apex is a Source engine game that streams textures in as you move, and it now runs on DirectX 12 only. Its stutters come mostly from three places: shaders compiling after an update, textures that do not fit in video memory, and a frame rate that swings too far.
Warzone stutter on PC shaders, streaming and video memory
Warzone is one of the heaviest games on a PC: a huge map, textures streamed from the internet as you play, and a new set of shaders with every season. Most of its stutter traces back to one of those three.
FPS drops every few seconds find the cause by its rhythm
A hitch that comes back at a steady interval is the most useful kind of stutter, because something on the PC is doing it on a timer. Measure the interval, and the list of suspects gets short.
DPC latency find the driver behind the stutter
A game can stutter on a fast PC because one driver keeps the CPU to itself for a millisecond too long. That is DPC latency. It does not show in FPS or in any graphics setting, and it has a name you can find.
