New to AMD GPUs - settings for competitive FPS? (Valorant, Apex)

Post by MentalSharps » 04 Oct 2025, 09:29

Upgraded from an NVIDIA 2060 to an AMD 9060 XT, but so far the performance is sadly not as good - i'm getting regular frame drops etc.

Just wondering if I'm missing something in the setup - if someone could advise that would be amazing!

Disable ULPS (you can find a reg file for this or do it through MSI afterburner) lock your clock in advanced tuning to 100mhz below your max frequency.

I use this reg file that disables ULPS and does some other hidden tweaks, you can test it out.

"
@echo off
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000" /v "EnableUlps" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000" /v "DisableDMACopy" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000" /v "DisableBlockWrite" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000" /v "StutterMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\amdlog" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
"

Paste it into a notepad and save it as .bat and run it
