OFFICIAL USER GUIDE

FPSBang user guide

Step-by-step instructions for installation, optimization, performance records, graphics tools, restore and troubleshooting.

Open the guide contents

Before you start

  • Back up important files and save your work. Close the game before changing system or driver settings.
  • Record your original graphics settings, resolution, FPS limit and performance. Use the same scene for comparisons.
  • Read each setting before selecting it. Leave unfamiliar settings unchecked and avoid stacking several optimization tools.
  • Keep all restore backups. Recovery can be affected by damaged backups, permissions or later changes and is not guaranteed in every situation.
  • Shader-cache cleanup removes regenerable files without a restore backup. Allow the game to compile them again.

See the usage terms and privacy policy for service and data-handling details.

Supported computers and startup

Use an Intel / AMD x64 computer running Windows 10 / 11. ARM64 and 32-bit Windows are not supported. Available actions depend on detected hardware; missing readings do not by themselves mean a hardware fault.

  • Personal computer: double-click the normal FPSBANG launcher and follow Windows administrator-approval prompts. Do not directly launch its privileged helper.
  • Internet café computer: select café mode when prompted. Some user-specific color, display and graphics operations may be unavailable in a compatibility session.
  • On a managed computer, contact the administrator if signing or security policy blocks operation. Do not bypass that policy.
  • If security software raises an alert, stop and verify the official source and specific warning. Do not disable protection, exclude unknown files or blindly restore quarantined files.

Quick start

  1. Install: download from the official website and choose a supported local fixed-disk location.
  2. Detect: launch normally, read the usage notice and wait for hardware, game-path and setting detection.
  3. Select: start with Balanced (均衡), or choose Performance first (性能优先), Stability first (稳定保守) or individual settings.
  4. Apply: select Execute optimization (执行优化), review the selected actions and warnings, then wait for completion without repeated clicks or a forced exit.
  5. Restart if requested: save your work, restart Windows and reopen FPSBANG to check the result.
  6. Test: keep FPSBANG running and compare average FPS, 1% Low and perceived smoothness in the same game scene.
  7. Recover: if performance worsens or you see flickering, a black screen or launch failures, restore the relevant changes before sending diagnostics.

Find the right instructions

System optimization

  1. Open Optimize (优化), wait for detection and select a built-in preset or individual settings.
  2. Review power, graphics, memory and service changes. Uncheck anything you do not need; save your selection as a custom preset if desired.
  3. Select Execute optimization (执行优化), review the confirmation and start.
  4. Read the completed, skipped, failed and restart-required results. Investigate a failure before retrying.
  5. Restart when requested and compare the same scene. Restore settings that do not help.

Change only a few settings at a time. On laptops, also watch heat, fan noise and battery life.

Choosing optimization settings

  • Power and scheduling: Ultimate Performance, hidden power settings and power-plan locking can increase heat or power use. Read their warnings.
  • Gaming and display: test HAGS, Game Mode, background recording and MPO on your own system. High-performance GPU selection needs the correct game executable.
  • Memory and services: do not disable unfamiliar services just to select everything. Test manual settings such as memory compression individually.
  • Mouse: disabling Enhance pointer precision changes Windows pointer acceleration, not mouse DPI or in-game sensitivity.
  • Experimental actions: GPU downclock restrictions, interrupt affinity and model spoofing carry additional risks and are not general recommendations.
  • Read-only checks: PCIe, memory and runtime checks do not change BIOS settings or install components for you.

Detection determines availability and restart requirements. Restore-only items cannot be newly applied; valid backups can still be handled through Restore.

Game compatibility mode

Use compatibility mode to manage game-specific settings that conflict with another supported game.

  1. Open Compatibility mode (兼容模式) and review detected games and the current state.
  2. Use Advanced (高级) to review the scope when needed. Close affected games before switching.
  3. Wait for restoration, suspension or reapplication, then read the result.
  4. If the GPU model was restored, restart Windows when requested before starting the game.

Turning the mode off reapplies only settings it actually suspended. It is not a reset of every setting. After an interrupted switch, check the state rather than repeatedly toggling it.

GPU smart tuning

  1. Sign in, open GPU smart tuning and review hardware checks, safety conditions and available tiers.
  2. Balanced requires active PRO membership or a valid tuning entitlement. Performance and Extreme each require their corresponding entitlement. Review the item, duration and device conditions before buying.
  3. Save your work, close other tuning tools and read the risk notice before starting. Wait for the checks without starting duplicate sessions.
  4. If something goes wrong, stop and select Restore pre-tuning settings (恢复超频前设置). Wait for recovery verification before continuing.

Choose the plan that fits

01

Balanced

A starting point for everyday tuning, balancing performance and stability.

Included access

Available with active PRO membership or either active paid GPU tuning entitlement.

PRO annual membership: US$5.99 / 365 days

Access follows the qualifying entitlement; Balanced is not sold separately.

02

Performance

For further performance tuning, with gains evaluated through tests and actual gameplay.

PRO member
US$9.90
Non-member
US$19.90

7 days from fulfillment · Reusable during the term · Not charged per run

03

Extreme

For exploring additional performance headroom, with closer attention to cooling, power and stability.

PRO member
US$39.90
Non-member
US$59.90

7 days from fulfillment · Reusable during the term · Not charged per run

Performance and Extreme are separate entitlements: neither includes the other. Member pricing requires active PRO only at purchase; later PRO expiry does not shorten a purchased tuning term. Renewals extend the same tier, with no automatic renewal. Purchase does not bypass compatibility or safety checks, and FPS gains are not guaranteed. Confirm the final price and dates in your order.

USD offers are handled through an official Discord support ticket, not the CNY WeChat checkout.

GPU model spoofing

  1. Verify the primary GPU and support conditions, choose a target model and read the additional confirmation.
  2. After success, restart Windows before testing the game. Restarting only the game may retain its earlier identification.
  3. If problems occur, restore GPU spoofing and restart again. Use the detected residual-recovery option when necessary.

Some games read real hardware directly and ignore the name. Driver updates or reinstalls may restore the real name too. If NVIDIA Control Panel or DLSS options misbehave, restore the real model and test before considering broader driver-profile changes.

Live performance monitoring

  1. Keep FPSBANG open or minimized, then start the target game.
  2. Wait for recognition and valid frame samples. View FPS, CPU, GPU, memory and supported temperature or power readings.
  3. Open a metric to inspect recent records and compare fluctuations with what happened in the game.

Waiting, N/A or “—” means no valid reading, not zero. Retry detection before treating a missing sensor as a fault.

Game performance reports

  1. Keep FPSBANG running during play. Recording starts when the target game is recognized.
  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F8 to mark a stutter. Press Ctrl+Alt+F9 to save the current segment and continue recording.
  3. After exiting the game, review average FPS, 1% Low, valid sampling duration and hardware load. 0.1% Low is available when enough samples exist.
  4. Compare similar sessions in history. Open the detailed report when needed to inspect frame times, load and recorded stutters.

Leaderboards and FPS prediction

Open the leaderboard (帧榜), sign in and review the data-sharing consent before joining. Access to member configurations, similar-system filters and predictions depends on verified account entitlements.

  1. Open Leaderboard → FPS prediction (帧率预测). Select or enter the GPU, device type, CPU, game resolution and memory, or use the local configuration.
  2. Enter real specifications and leave unknown parameters blank. Models missing from the list may be entered manually.
  3. Read the estimated range, confidence and insufficient-data notices. A prediction is not a measured result or a performance guarantee.

Compare and replace a graphics driver

  1. Open the driver leaderboard and compare records relevant to your hardware, not just the highest score.
  2. If replacement is necessary, save your work and close the game. Select the driver action and review the official source and compatibility conditions.
  3. Wait for download and installation, restart if requested and test again. A paused download can resume; closing it cancels that task.
  4. If automatic replacement fails, follow the link to the official manual-download page. Avoid unknown driver packages.

Leaderboard samples do not guarantee that one driver will perform best on every computer.

Filters, aspect ratio and DLSS

ICC filters

Choose the target display in the filter tool, select a preset and preview it before saving and applying. Restore the previous state if needed. On multi-monitor computers, verify the target screen. Use AI customization only when the service and account allow it: import a reference image, explicitly generate a preset, then save and apply. Importing an image or browsing history does not apply a filter.

Aspect ratio

  1. Select the display and choose 4:3, 16:10 or 16:9, or enter custom dimensions.
  2. Review the size and select Add to driver (添加到驱动). This does not immediately change the desktop resolution.
  3. Restart when requested, then select the resolution in the game. For stretching, review full-screen and GPU scaling in NVIDIA Control Panel.

Writing is limited to clearly identified, directly connected NVIDIA displays. It does not overclock the monitor or guarantee high refresh rates. Restore from the original list backup; do not force an overwrite after external changes.

DLSS models

  1. Select the executable of a DLSS-supported game and read its driver profile.
  2. Choose a supported model, game-controlled option or latest driver model. Start with the driver recommendation.
  3. Close the game and other applications sharing the profile, review the affected scope and apply, then reopen the game.
  4. If no independent profile exists, follow the prompt to add the game in NVIDIA App. Restore the original profile if the result is worse.

Troubleshoot frame drops

  1. Completely exit the game and launcher, then open Frame-drop repair (掉帧修复).
  2. Clean DirectX or the relevant GPU shader cache only when needed. Allow it to rebuild after restarting the game.
  3. Check the game executable path and high-performance GPU selection.
  4. Check the VC++ runtime and follow the graphics vendor’s driver guidance.
  5. If the problem began after optimization and persists, restore those changes, restart and compare the same scene.

Hardware and runtime checks

Inspect PCIe link, memory frequency and VC++ runtime status in hardware checks. PCIe rechecks only read the state; they do not run an automatic stress test. An idle link may downshift normally.

Season repair

  1. Open Season repair (赛季修复), choose actions relevant to the symptoms and expand their explanations.
  2. Close the game and affected programs before confirming cache, rendering, runtime or DirectX actions.
  3. Read each completed, skipped, failed or partially completed result and restart when requested.
  4. After clearing PSOCache or GPU caches, allow compilation to finish before judging performance.

Power, memory and disk checks do not automatically repair hardware. ACE-related actions require runtime and path checks; do not expand their cleanup scope manually.

200T repair

  1. Open Tools → 200T repair (200T修复), select the active adapter and check IPv4, gateway and DNS.
  2. Use DNS cache refresh when that is all you need. To change DNS, choose a configuration and confirm; the original configuration is saved.
  3. Before One-click repair (一键修复), close the game, save your work and review the scope. It may disconnect the network. Restart manually when complete.
  4. Reconnect and test the game. A successful DNS readback alone does not prove the game connection is fixed.

Restore settings

  1. Open Optimize → Restore (还原), then review backups and current state.
  2. Select the items to recover and choose Restore selected items (复原勾选项目). Use Restore all (全部复原) only when you intend to restore everything.
  3. Read the outcome and restart instructions. Restoration returns to the saved pre-change state, not necessarily Windows defaults.
  4. If later changes or backup problems are reported, stop, keep the backups and logs, and contact support.

Game settings, logs and diagnostics

Recommended game settings are a reference for manual changes inside the game, not automatic graphics edits. Open Runtime log (运行日志) to review detection, application, skipped actions, failures and restart requirements.

  1. Open Runtime log → Send full diagnostics (上传完整诊断).
  2. Select the issue category and describe when it happened, what you did and the symptoms.
  3. Review the upload contents. Send only after confirmation, or cancel.
  4. Keep the retrieval code and share it only through a verified private support channel, never a public channel.

If report assembly fails, no upload occurred. If uploading fails, start with a short description and provide redacted excerpts only as needed. Review your choices in Account → Data and privacy; see the data collection list for details.

When something goes wrong

Black screen, flickering or game launch failure

Stop applying changes. If the desktop is safe to use, first restore affected power-plan settings, hidden power adjustments, plan locking or GPU spoofing, then restart as requested. Restore other relevant changes if the problem remains.

More stutter, heat or power consumption

Allow cache compilation to settle and test the same scene. If it still does not help, restore the changes. For excessive heat, check power and experimental GPU settings first; do not continue stress testing.

Different mouse feel or low disk space

Restore the Enhance pointer precision setting for mouse feel. If an oversized page file has a corresponding backup, restore the virtual-memory item and restart. Do not delete system files directly.

Cannot reach the desktop

The in-app Restore button cannot help when the app cannot run. Use previously prepared offline recovery material, Windows recovery tools or professional/vendor support. Do not assume a usable restore point exists. Prioritize personal safety if there is smoke or a burning smell.

Keep backups and error information, and follow the private diagnostic steps. Do not force registry overwrites or delete recovery material.
