What it is
FrameCoach is a free game-graphics optimizer available on the web and Windows. It recommends settings from a user’s GPU, CPU, game, and target frame rate, then estimates how each setting may affect FPS. Users can edit the recommendations and watch the estimate change live. The web optimizer covers more than 160 GPUs, 250 CPUs, and 180 games, including Steam Deck, and supports NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and handheld hardware. Its FPS figures come from a generalized model rather than live benchmarks, so scenes, drivers, and game versions can change the result. The free Windows app scans hardware, works offline, and offers recommendations for more than 180 games. Its beta can apply settings to supported Unreal Engine games while closed, backing up configuration and offering one-click undo. Windows 10/11, 64-bit, and no account are required. The maker says desktop hardware stays on the PC and nothing is uploaded.
