Max FPS
Every frame for ranked and competitive play: what to drop first, what barely costs anything, and the cap that keeps input lag down on your refresh rate.
“Max FPS for ranked - I'm on 1440p 240 Hz.”
Game settings that fit your PC - and your goal
Last updated 2 October 2026Scan your PC once - CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM, storage and your monitors - and WingHUD knows your machine from then on. Ask for settings in any game for what you're actually after: max FPS for ranked, the best-looking picture for a story game, or a steady balance at your monitor's refresh rate. You get what to turn up, what to turn down and why, for your hardware, not for a benchmark rig. It will also tell you whether a game will run well, which part is the bottleneck, and the one upgrade worth making. Like asking a friend who builds PCs, except it already knows exactly what's in your machine and which game you're in.
One scan, then any game: settings for your goal, tuned to the parts you actually have and the monitor you're on - with the why, not just a list.
01
What it does for you
- Settings for your goal: tell it what you want - max FPS, the best-looking picture, a steady frame rate at your monitor's refresh rate, or less heat and noise on a laptop - and it gives you the settings for that game that get you there on your hardware, with the trade-off for each one spelled out.
- It knows which game you're in: WingHUD detects the running game, so “what should I turn down?” already knows the game, your parts and your monitor. No typing specs, no searching a guide written for someone else's PC.
- Resolution and upscaling that make sense: whether native, upscaled or a lower internal resolution is the right call for your GPU and your display, and which quality mode is worth it in that game.
- Will this game run well: not just whether you clear the minimum requirements, but whether your rig has real headroom for a specific game at the settings you'd actually want.
- Where the bottleneck is: which single part is holding the rest back - CPU, GPU, RAM or storage - for that game at your resolution, so you know what's actually limiting your frames.
- Your monitors vs. your GPU: it reads each display's real native resolution and refresh rate and weighs them against what your GPU can genuinely drive in that game - competitive settings on a 1440p 360 Hz panel are a different answer than on a 1080p 240 Hz one.
- The upgrade that matters: when an upgrade is actually warranted, it names the specific part - and just as often tells you nothing needs upgrading yet. No prices, no affiliate links, no upsell.
- Laptops and prebuilts included: it recognizes the system model and reasons from that machine's real limits - power limit, cooling, shared memory - not from a desktop part with the same name.
- In plain words: a verdict, the why behind it, and one clear recommendation - the way a friend who builds PCs would put it, not a spec sheet you have to decode.

Pick a goal
Same PC, same game, different answers - because “best settings” depends on what you're playing for. Say the goal and WingHUD tunes the list to it.
Best looking
For story games and screenshots: the settings that actually show on screen, the ones you can leave off without noticing, and whether your GPU has the headroom for them.
“Make it look as good as it can and still hold 60.”
Balanced
Smooth at your monitor's refresh rate with the picture mostly intact - the everyday setting for most games and most PCs.
“What should I turn down to stop the stutter in the city?”
Quiet and cool
For laptops and small builds: a frame cap and settings that keep the fans down and the temperatures sane without the game feeling worse.
“I'm on a laptop, keep it from getting loud.”

How it works
Scan My PC - once
One button on the PC Analyzer widget in the overlay. Your real components and monitors are read locally, only when you click.
Ask in any game
The button becomes In-game settings help. Click it, or just ask by text or voice, in whatever game you're playing: “best settings for max FPS”, “will this run well”, “what's my bottleneck”.
Get settings with the why
What to change, what to leave, the trade-off for each, and one clear recommendation - for your parts, your monitor and your goal.
Changed your graphics card? Re-scan any time from the widget's gear or Settings → Data & privacy → Hardware profile.
04
Private by design
The scan reads standard Windows hardware information on your own PC, and only at the moment you click - nothing about your hardware is collected in the background, and there's no always-on monitoring. A short summary of your parts and main display is kept with your account so you don't have to scan before every question, and it's sent with your questions as context, exactly the way any chat question is answered. Delete it or replace it with a fresh scan whenever you like from Settings → Data & privacy → Hardware profile.
What it keeps: a summary of your components (CPU, GPU and its memory, RAM, storage type, motherboard or system model, BIOS and Windows version) and your main display's resolution and refresh rate. Your other monitors, peripherals and gaming software are read for the scan itself and not kept. Scanned only when you click, never on a timer; deleted when you say so. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what's stored, why, and how to have it deleted.

Frequently asked
Can WingHUD give me the best settings for a game on my PC?
Yes. Scan once and WingHUD knows your CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM, storage and monitors. Then ask in any game - by text, voice or the In-game settings help button - and it gives you the settings for that game that fit your hardware and your goal, with the trade-off for each change. It detects the game you're playing, so you don't have to say which one.
Does it know whether I want more FPS or better graphics?
Just tell it. Max FPS, best looking, balanced at your monitor's refresh rate, or quiet and cool on a laptop each get a different list for the same PC and game.
Can WingHUD tell me if a specific game will run well on my PC?
Yes. It checks your actual hardware against the game with real headroom in mind - not just whether you clear the minimum requirements - and says what to expect at the settings you'd actually want.
Does it find my PC's bottleneck?
Yes. It names which part is holding the rest back for the game you asked about - for example whether your GPU or CPU is the limiting factor at your monitor's resolution - and, when an upgrade is actually warranted, names the specific part worth upgrading. No prices, no affiliate links.
Do I have to scan every time?
No. One scan is kept with your account and used for every later question. If you change a part, re-scan from the widget's gear or Settings → Data & privacy → Hardware profile; WingHUD also notices when the GPU, CPU or RAM it sees at startup no longer match your scan and suggests a re-scan.
Does it work on laptops and prebuilt PCs?
Yes. It recognizes the system model and reasons from that machine's real limits - power limit, cooling, shared memory - rather than from a desktop part with the same name, so the settings and the verdict fit the laptop you actually have.
How does it read my hardware? Is it safe?
It reads standard Windows hardware information locally on your own PC, only at the moment you click the widget - nothing is scanned in the background and there is no monitoring. A short summary is kept with your account and sent with your questions as context, the same way any chat question is answered. You can delete it at any time. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what's kept and why.
Does it consider my monitor's resolution and refresh rate?
Yes. It reads each monitor's real native resolution and maximum refresh rate and weighs them against what your GPU can actually drive in a given game - so the advice reflects, say, competitive settings on a 1440p 360 Hz panel versus a 1080p 240 Hz one, not a generic number.
