In his own words
I've spent years testing Windows, GPU driver and in-game settings in CS2, VALORANT, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Call of Duty. Only the tweaks that survived made it into Frozen Tweaks.
On my own PC it made everything so much smoother. I can finally record 4K videos without my game stuttering.
Every catalog tweak is public, so you can check my work. Try the free version on your own PC and tell us on Discord how it feels.
