The Rise automatic plan only turns on the essentials: what’s safe on any PC. It isn’t the full list. After you apply it, the app shows how many tweaks that fit your PC are still off, in two groups: plan optionals and tweaks that only exist on their own pages.
Plan optionals: they show up unchecked in the plan review, under Optimizations > All. Check the ones you want before applying. They include the processor prioritizing performance when plugged in, processor boost, NVIDIA low latency, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and the shader cache.
Page-only tweaks: they never go into the automatic plan. Under Optimizations > All > Manual tweaks, Rise lists the ones that fit your PC, from what usually matters most for performance to what matters least, with a button that takes you to each one. Examples: the 0.5 ms timer in Rise Input; AMD and Intel driver options and NVIDIA presets on the Graphics card page; MPO and the manufacturer’s Performance mode on laptops, under Hardware; MSI interrupts, under Latency; and excluding game folders from Defender scans, under Debloat. Game presets, per-game NVIDIA profiles and Competitive Mode live in Games and Competitive Mode, on Rise Plus.
Lab: some of these tweaks work but haven’t been physically tested on every kind of hardware yet. That’s why they stay out of the plan and ask for your consent before applying. They’re exactly the ones most worth measuring.
VBS and Memory Integrity: turning these off can help in some games, but it leaves Windows less protected. Rise never does this on its own: the option lives under Optimizations > General, with the risk explained, a restore point and your consent. Some anti-cheats, like Riot Vanguard and FACEIT, may require the protection to stay on.
How to test: measure first, in the Rise Benchmark or always in the same scene of a game, three times. Change one block at a time (power, graphics card, timer, background), measure again the same way and undo whatever gets worse. Every tweak reverts in one click, on its own card or in Backup. A gain only counts when it’s measured on your PC: Rise doesn’t promise a number.
