FAQ
Straight answers
Can I buy it yet?
Not yet — Slightly Optimised is in a private, invite-only beta, so checkout is closed. The prices on this page are what it will cost when it opens. If you'd like to test it early, email
support@slightlyoptimised.gg and tell us a little about your PC and what you play.
What is the health score?
One number out of 100, from a single read-only scan, for how much performance your PC is leaving on the table — with a band (Lots to gain → In good shape) and the reasons listed underneath: what to remove, what to reconfigure, and which BIOS settings to change. It's a guide to headroom, not a grade on your hardware: a low score means there's more to gain. Nothing is changed for you — every action stays your decision.
Where do I find help inside the app?
Every screen has a
Guide button next to
Report a problem, covering installation, backups, undoing changes and how to report an issue. So if you lose the email, the instructions are still in front of you. Anything else:
support@slightlyoptimised.gg.
What's actually free?
Most of it, including the parts people usually pay for. The health score, the System Scanner and its BIOS checks, GPU overclocking and undervolting, CPU tuning advice (PBO, Curve Optimiser, undervolt, tREFI), the Game Optimiser, NVIDIA Setup, Call of Duty presets and the Program Installer — genuinely free on one PC, no account, no time limit. Personal ($29 one-time) adds the Network and Interrupt Optimisers, the Input Device Optimiser, the Debloater, and full memory tuning.
Is this a replacement for a full optimisation?
No. The suite automates what can be automated safely and tells you plainly what it found — but it isn't a substitute for a full hands-on optimisation, where someone works through your specific hardware, your games and your BIOS with you. Think of it as doing the well-understood work properly, and showing you where the rest is.
Can I use it on customers' PCs?
That's what the Commercial plans are for — Free, Personal and Family cover your own machines only. Commercial is priced per new machine: Solo covers 5 new customer PCs a month, Shop covers 25, and a PC you've already set up never counts again. Your own workbench PC is free, and if you run out mid-month the tool keeps working at Free level until your next billing date.
Will this get me banned by anti-cheat?
No. The suite only changes documented Windows, driver and BIOS-advisory settings — the same things a careful power user would change by hand. There is no kernel modification, no memory injection, and no modified Windows image. Nothing it does is visible to, or against the rules of, any anti-cheat.
How much FPS will I gain?
Honestly: it depends on your hardware and how untuned your system is. That's why the suite ships its own measurement tools — before/after network latency tests and PresentMon frame-time capture — instead of quoting made-up numbers. Typical wins are lower input latency, more consistent frame times and fewer stutters, rather than a magic headline FPS figure.
What if a tweak makes something worse?
Restore it. Every tool writes a full backup before applying anything and has a one-click restore that puts the exact previous values back. You can apply, test, and roll back tool by tool.
Do I need to reinstall Windows?
No, but it's recommended — the best results come from a fresh start, with the suite tuning a clean install instead of years of accumulated clutter. The nine main tools work fine on your existing install, and the pre-install tools make the fresh route painless: a keep-partition for your files, staged downloads, motherboard drivers and a bootable USB from an official Microsoft image.
What are the requirements?
Windows 10 or 11 with administrator rights. NVIDIA and AMD GPUs are both supported for overclocking; the NVIDIA Setup tool is NVIDIA-only by nature. The Debloater is aware of LTSC editions too.
Is this a subscription?
Personal and Family are one-time purchases — pay once, and the suite is yours forever, with 12 months of updates included. Only the Commercial shop plans are monthly, because they're priced per new customer machine.
