Graphics optimisers offer tools for adjusting game settings and managing performance-related profiles. Compare whether an option scans your game library, provides an in-game overlay, and supports per-game profiles or cloud profile sync. Auto recommendations and supported platforms can also help narrow down which tool suits your setup, while the free plan and paid-from price let you compare cost. The entries start with Hone, GameShift and PULSE, followed by FrameCoach and TargetFPS. Check the listed features against the games and systems you want to tune, especially if you prefer suggestions, saved profiles or controls you can access while playing.
