There’s nothing worse than lagging mid-fight or watching your FPS drop during a boss battle. If your gaming PC isn’t keeping up with today’s demanding titles, don’t panic — there are some quick fixes that can get you back in the game.
At Moe Repair, we specialize in gaming PC optimization, custom builds, and repairs for serious gamers across Burnaby, Vancouver, and beyond. Here are 7 proven tips to revive your rig and boost your performance.
1. 🔄 Update Your GPU Drivers
Outdated graphics drivers are one of the most common causes of low FPS and crashes. Whether you’re running an NVIDIA or AMD card, make sure you’re using the latest drivers — they often include performance enhancements for new games.
💡 Pro Tip: Use GeForce Experience or AMD Software to keep things up-to-date effortlessly.
2. 🧼 Clean Out the Dust
Overheating is a silent performance killer. If your PC sounds like a jet engine, it’s time for a deep clean. Dust build-up around fans and heatsinks causes thermal throttling and can damage components over time.
🔧 At Moe Repair, we offer internal dust cleaning and thermal paste replacement to keep your system cool and quiet.
3. 🚀 Upgrade to an SSD
Still gaming on an HDD? That might be your bottleneck. Switching to a Solid-State Drive can drastically reduce load times and improve system responsiveness, especially in open-world games.
We install high-performance SSDs in all capacities — and we’ll even clone your data so you don’t lose a thing.
4. 🎯 Optimize In-Game Settings
Not every game needs Ultra settings. Sometimes, tweaking shadow quality, anti-aliasing, or render distance can significantly improve FPS without sacrificing too much visual quality.
Need help configuring your setup? We can fine-tune your games for maximum performance at Moe Repair.
5. 🧠 Consider a RAM or GPU Upgrade
If you’re maxing out your RAM or your graphics card can’t keep up with the latest AAA titles, it might be time to upgrade. A little investment can go a long way in extending your PC’s gaming life.
Ask us about budget-friendly upgrade options and professional installation.
6. ❌ Close Background Apps
Sometimes, your enemy isn’t in-game — it’s the dozen background apps running silently. Use Task Manager to shut down unneeded processes hogging CPU, GPU, or RAM.
7. ❄️ Reapply Thermal Paste
Thermal paste degrades over time. If your CPU or GPU temps are higher than normal, it might be time to reapply. This improves heat transfer and prevents throttling during extended gaming sessions.
Moe Repair uses high-quality thermal paste for maximum cooling efficiency.
