Computer Text Looks Weird and Not Smooth

Your computer is probably showing the style of font in the picture currently. This happens when you select "Best Performance" for visual effect which disables all visual effects on your computer, or you activate Windows Classic theme.

If you want to keep this classic style of windows but want to have a clear and smooth font being displayed, follow steps below.

Open "Computer" or "My Computer" and click on "System Properties" as shown in the picture below.

On the next window, click on "Advance system settings" located on the left side.

Select "Advanced" tab and click "Settings...".

A Performance Options window will open, scroll down until you find "Smooth edges of screen fonts". Make sure the box is checked. Click Apply and Ok.

Cap FPS to Save Power (AFK Gaming)

There are times where we would need to go away-from-keyboard (AFK) in games like opening a shop, having important matters to do outside of the game, farming for valuable points that are given while being in game, or just resting for an hour but not wanting to close the game.

At these times using the full potential power of the graphics card to get high frame rate per second (FPS) may not matter and we could be AFK for the whole night because we are sleeping.

Games nowadays have in-game settings to cap or limit FPS to match the monitor's refresh rate but there are also games that do not have this option. 

Capping FPS here is going as low as 20fps, lowering power consumption as much as we can. There are 2 ways you can do. 

NVIDIA Control Panel

The newest update adds a new setting to the control panel. We can now set the maximum frame rate of a game. 

Rivatuner Statistics Server (RTSS)

I have always used RTSS to cap or limit my FPS during AFK. I prefer RTSS as it can be configured to start at boot and I leave the RTSS window open in the background. This way I can easily change the framerate in just seconds. You may also need to download MSI Afterburner.
