Hypertune was developed in partnership with Intel and utilizes the XTU SDK. The software evaluates each supported system individually to optimize performance rather than using generic profiles. The development process involved collaboration with overclocker Pieter Plaisier, known as SkatterBencher.
Internal benchmarks for a system with a Core Ultra 9 285K and RTX 5090 showed performance gains of 18.9% in Homeworld 3 and 28.2% in Tomb Raider. For a system with a Core i7-14700K and RTX 3080, improvements were 9.8% in Rainbow Six Siege and 4.3% in Marvel Rivals.
The tool includes a Game Hub feature that automatically applies graphics settings profiles to specific games. Founder Austin Copeland, a former TSM eSports coach, designed the software for users who are unfamiliar with manual system settings. The company claims the optimizations are non-destructive, reversible, and compatible with anti-cheat software like Riot Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, and BattlEye.
Hypertune is a subscription-based service. It is available for $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial. Additionally, the company offers a manual expert tuning service for $80, where a technician remotely accesses the machine to perform the tuning.
