Pro settings for competitive PC gaming are the in-game values that keep your FPS up and other players easy to see. This page is the library for those settings. We write one full page per game. Open CS2, Fortnite, Warzone, Valorant, Rust, Apex, or Tarkov below. Each game page is built the same way, so once you have used one, the next one feels familiar: the answer first, a settings table, how to check your FPS, what stutter usually means, launch options if that game has them, a short Windows and driver block, then Hypertune if you want the same work applied for you.

Lowest, balanced, and quality
Not every PC needs the lowest everything. Competitive play still starts in the same place: VSync off, shadows down, extra effects off, and enough draw distance that cover still appears on time. That is the lowest column on each game page.
If the machine has headroom, raise a few visibility rows and leave the latency rules alone. That is balanced.
If the PC already holds its refresh rate, quality is fine. It is still not a reason to turn VSync on.
Game Hub will offer those three modes when the update is live. Until then, use the two columns on each game page: Best for FPS, and If you have headroom.
Let Hypertune do it
Every setting on those pages is free to do by hand. Hypertune is there if you would rather apply the Windows and Game Hub steps from one place.
Hypertune is a Windows 10 and 11 app. It reads your CPU, GPU, memory and storage once, then applies only the features you turn on: CPU Overclocking, GPU Overclocking, Windows Debloating, Network Optimizations, Memory Optimizations, and Game Hub. Game Hub changes in-game settings through each game's config files, and that is all it changes.
Users see up to 60% higher FPS. Hypertune is an Intel partner and an AMD partner, and supports NVIDIA graphics cards. A stress test is optional and run by hand before and after optimizing. The app shows no number.

Questions
What does pro settings mean here?
The settings you would set in that game's own menu for competitive play. We do not name a player unless they are on the approved list.
Which page should I open first?
The game you play tonight. Come back here only when you switch titles.
Does Game Hub only set the lowest graphics?
No. The update adds quality and balanced modes. Until that is live, each game page already has a headroom column you can use by hand.
