October 25, 2023CPU Intel Application Optimization (Intel APO) appears to improve game performance more than expected. Effects of Intel Application Optimization Intel Application Optimization is an official Intel application that optimizes CPU operation for each game to improve game performance. (Initially it was also called Intel Application Performance Optimization / Intel APO, but whether it was renamed or whether there are multiple names, it is written as Intel Application Optimization on Intel’s document page) According to Intel’s official slides, Intel By using Application Optimization, it is claimed that the frame rate will increase by +13% in Rainbow Six Siege and +16% in Metro Exodus.

Rainbow Six Siege Disabled: 659 fps / Enabled: 867 fpsMetro Exodus Disabled: 273 fps / Enabled: 339 fps Test environment was Core i9-14900K, GeForce RTX 4090. Enabling Intel Application Optimization increased the frame rate by 31% in Rainbow Six Siege and 24% in Metro Exodus. This is an improvement beyond Intel’s expectations. How to install Intel Application Optimization Intel Application Optimization is not available in all environments. Unfortunately, only Intel 14th generation (Raptor Lake Refresh) Core i9-14900K, Core i9-14900KF, Core i7-14700K, and Core i7-14700KF are supported at the moment. Additionally, there are currently only two supported games: Rainbow Six Siege and Metro Exodus. The app window on the Intel Application Optimization page shows multiple game titles, so more may be added in the future. UI of Intel Application OptimizationThe steps to use Intel Application Optimization are as follows. It’s a little complicated. Please enable “Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology” from the motherboard’s BIOS/UEFI. Please install the Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology driver. This driver is provided by your motherboard manufacturer. Please check the driver DVD that comes with your motherboard or the motherboard’s web page to see if a driver is provided. For ASUS, it’s in the “Chipset” section of the driver page. (Some motherboards are not available.) According to user reports on Reddit, in some environments the normal setup may not install properly and you may have to manually install the INF files one by one. Please install “Intel® Application Optimization” from the Microsoft Store. According to user reports, for some reason, games may not appear in Intel Application Optimization unless they are added to the Xbox app. If it does not appear, please try it. Once the installation is complete, all you have to do is set the Optimization toggle to “Enabled” on the Intel Application Optimization UI and turn it on/off for each game title.
