    Never ever use a registry cleaner as they do not work most of the time and have a chance of damaging critical files in the process because some programs will for some odd reason link themselves to them because of dumb DRM that exists in this day and age and even after removing the game the DRM can still remain and cause majors issues at fixing the computer if these critical files are accidentally damaged or deleted. The only way of fixing these most of the time is completely wiping the computers hard drive and reinstalling windows.

    Added the SSD warning, thanks. Intentionally did not say to use CCleaner to disable start up because the way CCleaner show start up programs is confusing to people. While on task manager it says exactly what the program is.

    Changed it because I do agree that the cleaning of registry benefit do not outweigh the risks. Although I do clean my registry.

    That's all I can think of for now
    I don't recommend disabling Anti-virus. If you intend to disable Anti-virus, you better off playing Full Screen mode which disables most anti-virus anyway. The risk don't outweigh the benefits of stable protection. Only do this if you ABSOLUTELY will not attempt to use internet browser or download any programs.

    SSD is about as much improvement as a new cpu or a new graphic card. They not really tips to improve existing hardware.

    Just depends how serious you are with such things. I never use AV except every few months to do a scan and clean and I've always been fine, you just have to be smart when you're browsing. Again AV are HUGE cpu hogs so disabling them could make a small difference and AV isn't going to help if you don't have a browser up which you shouldn't anyway

    I just wanted to bump your thread. I found it very helpful!

    'Did everything you suggested and it brought my score up by 1200points!

    Is 12515 on max pretty good for a new single GPU system or could I possibly do a little more to it? It was just put together in the last two months solely for playing this game mostly... Looking to do what I can with it, maybe aside from overclocking, but I haven't totally put that out of the options.

    12515 is amazing for a single GPU system. You should be able to run the game with no problem at all. I would increase the resolution to the best possible for your monitor. Which would lower your score but that score is overkill anyway. I'll probably send you a tell in-game since you in Leviathan.
