    Must say - I thought this was going to be just another "RAM Optimizer" that just steals memory from other applications then releases it, but I was impressed to see this actually do something positively beneficiary to the system - stop un-needed components and defrag core game files.

    Great Find

    Re: Running games at peak performance

    What I like to do is to right click on all my game shortcuts then go to properties, compatibility tab. I set them to disable desktop composition, which essentially stops the Aero interface while the game is opened and running. This adds a little more available room in the graphics card memory and perhaps speeds things up slightly.

    Re: Running games at peak performance

    I use something similar to the above called AMD Fusion:



    It doesn't look much but using the 'Game' profile I can set the CPU to run at 3.4GHz (whilst still idling at 800MHz in those quiet moments, which is something I can't do if I overclock via the bios), all the usual background apps are shutdown and the graphics card can be overclocked (GPU only) too. The only kicker is that it's AMD friendly and won't work on Intel systems..

    Thanks.

    The idea of Game Booster is that it temporarily (as opposed to tweaking something permanently) closes processes and services (whose list you can edit). When you need those processes back, you can restart them with a single click.

    As for its effectiveness, when I was testing it would give me 3 extra FPS after shutting down 26 processes (going from 74 to 48).

    So this app is not at all a revolution but yet another tweaking method, to free up resources only for a needed period of time.

    Good tip. I also use this one.

    Good tip as well. Petty that not compatible with Intel. When the summer heat is over, I'll try ASUS AI Booster along with the voltage tweak in my video card. Expect 5 extra FPS with the moderate overclocking my Zalman can handle.

    There was a modded version for Intel CPUs, i've used at the start of this year...

    it's also worth stating that the worse your PC is the more potential for gain you'll get using this app, as once ya get past a point the results drop to 3-5% increase if any at all.
