This page documents known tricks and fixes to boost perfomance if by any chance you stumble upon problems or you do not care that much about animations.

# Fractional scaling

Wayland fractional scaling is a lot better than before, but it is not perfect. Some applications do not support it yet or the support is experimental at best. If you have problems with your graphics card having high usage and hyprland feeling laggy then try setting the scaling to integer numbers such as `1` or `2` like in this example `monitor=,preferred,auto,2`.

# Low FPS/stutter/FPS drops on Intel iGPU with TLP (mainly laptops)

The TLP defaults are rather aggressive, setting `INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_AC` and/or `INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_BAT` in `/etc/tlp.conf` to something slightly higher (e.g. to 500 from 300) will reduce stutter significantly or, in the best case, remove it completely.

# How do I make Hyprland draw as little power as possible on my laptop?

**_Useful Optimizations_**:

* `decoration:blur = false` and `decoration:drop_shadow = false` to disable
fancy but battery hungry effects.

* `misc:vfr = true`, since it'll lower the amount of sent frames when nothing is happening on-screen.

I assume you already have `damage_tracking` on full. If you don't, change it.
It's heavily advised to use `full` regardless of anything.

By pressing the selected combo you will enter a mode where hyprland ignores your keybinds and passes them on to the vm.
