Got any recommendations for drive partitioning software?

As the title says. I can't remember the last time I actually partitioned a drive, I think it was WAY back in the WinXP days. I'm after a partition for my C: drive and then a partition that I can stuff my games on to.

Performance over Pretty.

If you want to find out more, here's a vid of it. I even used it to get rid of a bad sector.

I used the built in Disk Management application last time I wanted to create partitions. 

Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk Wifi, Corsair DOMINATOR® TITANIUM RGB 2x16GB DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL30, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, Corsair HX Series™ HX1000, Corsair MP600 PRO NH 4TB

It is better to use native tool if partitioning secondary drive or partitioning while installing OS.

There are many applications which can be used, I tested EasyUS partition master once when was converting C to gpt without losing data. 

Note: After OS install if you trying to partition base drive there can be small performance hit.
