 - **Common Issues**: Menu freezes, audio crackling, GPU compatibility
 
-## Hardware Considerations
+## Hardware
 
-### NVIDIA GPU Optimizations
-- **NVAPI Support**: Enable for DLSS compatibility
-- **DXVK vs VKD3D**: Prefer DXVK for better NVIDIA performance
-- **GameScope**: Use with proper display settings
-- **Ray Tracing**: Available with compatible Proton versions

-### Monitor Setup Considerations
-- **Resolution Scaling**: Configure GameScope for proper scaling
-- **Refresh Rate**: Match native monitor capabilities
-- **HDR Support**: Enable if hardware supports it
+- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8C/16T)
+- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (16GB VRAM)
+- **Display (primary)**: 2560x1440 @ 120Hz OLED with HDR
+- **Display (secondary)**: 2560x1440 @ 60Hz (no HDR)
 
 ## Configuration Patterns
 
-### Performance Settings
+### Standard Baseline (all games)
 ```bash
-# Essential performance settings
-USEGAMEMODERUN="1"          # Enable GameMode
-USEPROTON="GE-Proton10-11"  # Use latest GE-Proton
-DXVK_ASYNC="1"              # Async shader compilation
-DXVK_HDR="1"                # HDR support for compatible setups
+PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI="1"           # Required for GPU detection
+PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU="0"        # MUST be 0 - do NOT hide GPU
+DXVK_ASYNC="1"                    # Reduce shader compilation stuttering
+USEGAMEMODERUN="1"                # Enable GameMode
+USEMANGOHUD="1"                   # Performance monitoring
+WAITEDITOR="0"                    # Skip STL popup - edit configs via Claude Code
 ```
 
-### Audio Configuration
-```bash
-# Audio crackling fixes
-CHANGE_PULSE_LATENCY="1"
-STL_PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC="120"
-```

-### GameScope Settings
-```bash
-# Display configuration template
-USEGAMESCOPE="1"
-GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-W [width] -H [height] -r [refresh_rate] -f --immediate-flips --rt --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor --"
