#4 How to boost Baldur’s Gate 3?

As your computer ages, it will eventually struggle to meet these ever-increasing standards. Even if your next PC is powerful enough to handle today’s most demanding games, overclocking your PC ensures that you can enjoy even more extreme gaming experiences later.

The last one is Customize, which means you can overclock your PC based on your needs.

Tips:

Although Customize level is based on yourself, you should consider whether your PC can endure this level of overclocking.
