How To Get More FPS.
We Optimize.
FPS Chaser is the home of low latency hardware, Windows debloating, and extreme overclocking. We push PC hardware to its mathematical limit.
Project 9900K: The 14nm Sleeper
Can a 2018 CPU still hit 1,000+ FPS in modern titles? We took a Z390 Aorus Xtreme, 32GB of Samsung B-Die, and a tube of Honeywell PTM7950 to find out. This isn't just a build; it's a scientific experiment in latency reduction.

Frame Time & Micro-Stutter Calculator
Calculate exact frame interval budgets, refresh synchronization, and 1% low variance.
Gap between avg and 1% low represents perceived hitching and mouse feel instability.
- Samsung B-Die Sub-Timings: Tightening tRFC & tFAW cuts memory latency by ~15ns, stabilizing 1% lows.
- Ring Bus Overclock: Running uncore at 4.7GHz–5.0GHz accelerates L3 cache throughput.
- DPC Latency Debloat: Stripping background telemetry removes micro-stutter spikes over 5ms.

Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master
Z390 Aorus Master VRM & Microcode Pacing
A 12+2 phase IR digital VRM on IR3553 40A power stages. Modern Windows 11 updates can enforce VBS/HVCI and degrade uncore ring bus frequency unless the ring ratio is fixed in BIOS.
- •Aggressive Intel default Vdroop causing 1% low frame jitter
- •Uncore ring multiplier defaulting to 43x instead of optimal 47x
- •Energy-saving C-States introducing random DPC spikes during aim flicks
Target Impact: Eliminates 75mV transient Vdroop under 5.0GHz AVX load, halting thread lockups.
Target Impact: Lowers L3 Cache to CPU interconnect latency from 68ns down to 42ns.
Target Impact: Prevents core wake-up stalls (C6/C7 latency penalty of 120-400 microseconds).
Target Impact: Reclaims PCIe DMA buffer overhead and disables iGPU memory reservation.
Common Performance FAQs
Hard-won engineering truths regarding frametime pacing, input latency, sub-timing latency, and competitive OS tuning.
Standard in-game FPS counters only sample the mathematical average across thousands of frames over a full second. They do not tell you when individual frames take significantly longer to render.
If your monitor refreshes every 4.16ms (at 240Hz), but a cache-miss, background Windows service, or shader compilation causes a single frame to stall for 18ms, your eye perceives a distinct micro-stutter. The FPS counter might still show "235 FPS", but your 1% and 0.1% lows plummeted to 55 FPS.
To fix this: optimize memory sub-timings to eliminate memory-bus stalls, cap framerates to keep GPU utilization under 97%, and eliminate background DPC latency spikes using LatencyMon.
Focus on 1% Lows and frametime consistency rather than peak average FPS for butter-smooth tracking.
