Example:
11."Software" folder:
copy"MSI Afterburner" and "RivaTuner Statistics Server" to ProgramFiles.
Create a shortcut of "MSIAfterburner.exe" on Desktop.
Run "MSIAfterburner.exe" and "RTSS.exe" once.
The MSI Afterburner provided in the link has "EVGA PrecisionX 16" skin.
Under "Voltage" you should see 3 options :
"Overvoltage"
"Overboost"
"KBOOST"
At the right of these,there are 3 white circles.
Click each of them to deactivate them,restart the computer.
After restart,do the same to reactivate them.
11."Tweaks" folder:
Run "NSudo.exe" as Administrator.
Check "Enable all Privileges".
Browse for "Tweaks" folder.
Run .reg and .bat as TrustedInstaller.
Run .ps1 with PowerShell.
12."Performance Booster" folder:
You can find "READ.rtf" inside.
Do not optimize services!
Do not optimize network if you use Wi-Fi!
13."Tweaks Pack" folder:
Run "AutoTweak" as TrustedInstaller.
Some tweaks are changed or updated (Vulkan Runtime,Nvidia profile .nip and some registry changed).
Follow the information written on screen.
You will be asked a couple of things during the process:
Skip Routine Disk Check? Yes.
Is this a virtual machine? No.
Do you have any PS/2 device or are you using a laptop? Yes,if you're on a laptop.
Are you using Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2? No.
Is this supposed to be a server machine?No.
Is your system drive a SSD?Your choice.
Do you mount VHDs with diskpat,ISOs with Explorer...?No.
Do you use Hyper-V?No.

16.After command prompt is closed,restart.
After restart and script finished,check again if 4th step from above values changed.
14."Latency" folder:
Run "Affinity Pollicy Installer.exe" as Administrator,install.
Open "Affinity Pollicy.exe" shortcut.
This differs on every PC,should be tested and researched by yourself.
Example:
0,1 cores - none
2,3 cores - Nvidia GPU,PCI Express Root Port linked to the gpu
4,5 cores - USB (Ports and Hubs),Bluetooth (optional)
6,7 cores - Realtek Ethernet,Wi-Fi,PCI Express Root Port linked to these
8,9 cores - High Definition Audio Device,High Definition Audio Controller
10,11 cores - ISA Bridge
"PCI Express Root Port" can have different names like "PCI-to-PCI Bridge" or "PCI Express Complex Root" but they are the same thing:
Open Device Manager->View->Show Hidden Devices.
View->Devices by connection.
As you can see below,each PCI Express Port has certain devices linked.Every port should have the same cores assigned as their linked devices.
E.g. The PCI Express Root Port from the top has 3 devices:
High Definition Audio Controller (disabled)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
Nvidia USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller
In Affinity Policy,these 4 should be assigned on the same cores.
Right click on each->Properties
PCI bus and device will be our keyword for finding a certain device in "Affinity Pollicy.exe".
(Random pictures)
In "Affinity Pollicy.exe" assign the same cores for devices and their PCIe Root Port.
Run "BCD commands.bat" as Administrator.
Restart.
Open "MSI-Read.txt" and change the interrupt priority as it says.
Run "MSI Drivers.exe" as TrustedInstaller and change priorities.
As we did with affinities,our PCIe Root Ports should have the same priority as their linked devices.
We can find the required name in "Events" tab,Device PCI:
You can find the same name "Device PCI" at the bottom of "MSI mode utility".
Your device should match its PCI Express Root Port's priority.
Run "BCD commands.bat" as Administrator.
Restart.
Open "MSI-Read.txt" and change the interrupt priority as it says.
Run "MSI Drivers.exe" as TrustedInstaller and change priorities.
As we did with affinities,our PCIe Root Ports should have the same priority as their linked devices.
Open "Process Lasso-Read.exe".
Run "wProcessLassoPortable.exe",follow the instruction written.
Open txt file.
Run "xRegEdit.exe" and go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl".
Create new DWORD and name it "IRQxPriority" with value "1".
Open "msinfo32.exe",Hardware Resources,IRQs and find your GPU's name.
To the left of your GPU's name there's a number.
Write that number instead of "x" in "IRQxPriority".
E.g. IRQ4294967277Priority
Open txt file.
Run "xRegEdit.exe" and go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm".
Create new DWORD and name it "ThreadPriority" and set its value to 1f hex.
Run "BCD commands.bat" as Administrator.
Restart.
Open "MSI-Read.txt" and change the interrupt priority as it says.
Run "MSI Drivers.exe" as TrustedInstaller and change priorities.
As we did with affinities,our PCIe Root Ports should have the same priority as their linked devices.
Open "Process Lasso-Read.exe".
Run "wProcessLassoPortable.exe",follow the instruction written.
Open txt file.
Run "xRegEdit.exe" and go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl".
Create new DWORD and name it "IRQ(x)Priority" with value "1".
Open "msinfo32.exe",Hardware Resources,IRQs and find your GPU's name.
To the left of your GPU's name there's a number.
Write that number instead of "x" in "IRQ(x)Priority".
E.g.
Open txt file.
Run "xRegEdit.exe" and go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm".
Create new DWORD and name it "ThreadPriority" and set its value to 1f hex.
15."Disable Startup Apps" folder:
Run "Autoruns64.exe" as TrustedInstaller.
"Logon" tab:
Uncheck and delete everything but "Open-Shell Start Menu",if you use it.
"Drivers" tab:
Uncheck->Adobe Type Manager then Right Click->Delete.
"Image Hijacks" tab:
Uncheck->iexplore.exe... then Right Click->Delete.
16."Services" folder:
"Services registry" folder contains my last backup of services.
Works:
WIFI
Everything else
Doesn't work:
Bluetooth
Bugged WIFI taskbar icon
Bugged Sound Icon
Run "Services Backup.reg" with NSudo if you agree with the information above.
Disable "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" doing this:
Run ".xRegEdit.exe" and go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audiosrv".
Right click on "DependOnService" and click "Modify".
Erase "AudioEndpointBuilder".
4.Go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AudioEndpointBuilder".
5.Right click on "Start" and click "Modify".
6.Change the value to "4". (Default value is "2")
"serviwin-x64" folder contains a tool used to disable unused drivers.
Open Read txt file,it contains a list of drivers to disable (safe).
Run "serviwin.exe" as TrustedInstaller.
Change to drivers by clicking on the button shown bellow:
Right click on the devices you want to disable,move your cursor to "Change startup type" and click on "Disabled".
17."Win32Separation" folder:
Here you will find one .txt and 4 .reg.Read the .txt file.
Each registry has a different value for Win32Separation.Test them each for yourself.
18."Post-Post Install" folder:
This folder contains a couple of things you should use for games.
"LargePage_util" folder:
Here you can find the large page utility.This tool simply generates a registry for a certain .exe file for using large pages.This should give you a minor boost in performance.
Run "LargePage_util.exe"
Simply write your game's .exe name as you can see above then press "Add".After adding all your games executables press "Save" and close the tool.
Right click on "LargePage_util.exe.reg",edit.You should see the generated registries for your games.Now simply close Notepad and run the .reg file.
"Before Playing" folder:
"Memory Booster_2.1.exe"is a great tool made by N1koBG.It's a cleaner for working sets,memory,cache,etc.
Use it before playing a game.Right click and Run as TrustedInstaller and you should see this:
Done
2."Service Stop.bat" stops some services that are needed for Windows to boot up.Fortunately we can stop them after Windows booted up.It contains duplicated code lines.
Run this as TrustedInstaller before playing games.
Now let's make your games even smoother!
Open RivaTuner.Press the green button"Add" and choose your game's .exe.On the right there is "Framerate limit" and "Scanline Sync".
You will change "Scanline Sync" value according to this formula: (-1) * (Total Vertical Pixels - Active Vertical Pixels)
To get these values you should open Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Customize -> Create Custom Resolution
E.g.
-1 * (1216-1080) =(-1) * 136 = -136
E.g. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is capped at 100 FPS with -136 Scanline Sync.
Some games will be smoother with FPS capped,other will be smoother with uncapped FPS,you should test that with every game.The right value for capping is the minimum of your average FPS.
E.g.
You're getting 90-98 FPS while playing so the right value would be 90.
If you want even more FPS to take advantage of your 144 Hz monitor then here's the solution:
Lower your graphics settings in-game.
If your game has resolution modifier (Assassin's Creed Origins,Oddisey) set it to 90% or even 80%.
For every game,search tweaks online. Good website: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home .
You might think your games look horrible now,but I got the solution for this too.This is where sharpening saves your day.In my experience,with the right sharpening value,the games will look even better that with higher graphics settings.
Open Nvidia Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> Select your game
Enable Image Sharpening and choose a value between 0.50 and o.65.Lower than 0.50 doesn't really make a difference and higher than 0.65 looks bad.
Disabling Fullscreen Optimization can increase your performance even more:
Right Click on your game's .exe or shortcut.
Click on "Compatibility" tab.
Check Disable Fullscreen optimizations.
Set your game's priority to high,it might increase performance.Check twice after changing it,the OS may change it as soon as you put it on high.
Follow the steps,disable Fullscreen Optimizations,enable V-Sync,Scanline Sync,lower the graphics,cap your FPS and play.
