💡 Performance Tips
- Close background apps: Browsers and chat apps eat RAM
- Update GPU drivers: NVIDIA and AMD release game-ready drivers
- Verify game files: Steam → Right-click → Properties → Local Files → Verify
- Lower resolution scale: 80% resolution scale gives big FPS boost
- Disable Steam Overlay: Can cause stutters on some systems
