Performance Optimization
Windows Settings
Game Mode
Windows 11 introduced "Game Mode" that is supposed to optimize Scheduling and Background Processing specifically for Gaming. That is, surprise surprise, not the Case. It actually f's up Performance for most Games.
Therefor, it should be disabled

GPU-accelerated Scheduling
This is a Windows 11 Feature that should reduce CPU load by offloading certain Memory Allocation and Task Scheduling Tasks to the GPU. While this does work for a very small percentage of Games - in general, it worsens Performance by introducing Micro-Input-Lag.
It should be fully disabled
Settings - Settings - Display - Graphics
Power Mode
For Gaming, Windows should be set to the "Ultra Performance" Mode

Important Information:
- I/O Latency should generally be below 10ms
- Present should always be Legacy Copy for the least amount of Input Lag
- Limited by should generally be CPU for most People (ignore the Value in the Screenshot please)
