Games: tune Windows for the game you're playing

No kernel driver of our own, no DirectX hooks, no injection into the game. Guardian and Extreme Mode raise an Android emulator's priority from outside its process, as Task Manager can, and never change a PC game's own process. Process Rules you create yourself are applied as you set them, except to games BRUTAL recognises that use, or may use, an anti-cheat, and to any game it recognises while an anti-cheat service is running. The overlay counts frames from what Windows already reports, outside the game. Each publisher decides what its anti-cheat allows. How it stays out of your game →

That depends on your hardware and what is holding it back, so we don't promise a number. The overlay shows frame rate, frame time and 1% lows on your own PC, before and after a change, so you can see the difference for yourself. On Windows 11, the FPS number is the game's own frame rate: BRUTAL counts the frames the game hands to Windows, from Windows' own graphics events, with no injection and no hooks. On Windows 10, and for emulators it doesn't measure yet, it shows the display's rate instead, labelled DISPLAY on the overlay, or DISPLAY CAP when it sits at your refresh rate; while the game is minimised or covered it shows a dash and says why.

Yes. The overlay with frame time, 1% lows, CPU, GPU, RAM and ping is in the free plan, along with game detection and 17 of the 22 modules. Pro adds Guardian's automatic tuning, per-game profiles, Extreme mode and five deep-tuning modules.

Yes. It detects GameLoop, BlueStacks, LDPlayer, Nox, MEmu and MuMu, and the Emulator Performance Tuning module is free. The emulator page has the details →
