VGSources / Best Graphics Optimisers / BDO Optimizer
What it is
BDO Optimizer is a free, open-source desktop app for Black Desert Online players who want hardware-aware CPU-affinity recommendations and local frame-rate and frame-pacing checks. It reports CPU topology and caches, AMD X3D V-Cache CCDs, RAM, GPU and driver details, and local storage. Recommendations can use published guide masks or detected topology, including P-cores, V-Cache CCDs, or one CCD on multi-CCD CPUs. Saved benchmark runs retain raw frame times and locally calculated average FPS, P1 low, and time-weighted low metrics. Windows NVIDIA systems can import selected Black Desert driver-profile settings and restore the prior profile; Radeon users receive manual Adrenalin instructions. The app can edit specified game configuration files with backups and restoration. Benchmark data stays local and is not uploaded. The BDO workflow is Windows-only, requiring 64-bit Windows, the game, bundled PresentMon, and administrator permission. Releases are unsigned Windows x64 ZIP files.
Good, and not so good

Who it suits
It suits Black Desert Online players who want hardware-based affinity guidance and local benchmark metrics. Windows users get the full BDO workflow; Linux and macOS are limited to inspection or saved-session features.
BDO Optimizer focuses on local analysis, affinity guidance, and reversible configuration changes without modifying the running game process. Confirm the Windows requirements before using its full workflow.
