Game Booster was a free IOBit software program, now Razer Cortex Boost, free and powerful, which works really well and does what it promises: it optimizes the PC to play video games in an absolutely effective way. It is an optimization tool to be launched when you start a video game on a Windows PC that allows you to maximize the performance of your computer while playing any game .
Since it is very easy to use and can give excellent results on most computers, old or new, it is worth a try.
Game Booster maximizes the use of computer resources (CPU, video memory and network connection) for the running game, without wasting them on unnecessary programs and background processes.
It uses the same principle as those tools to speed up the execution of high priority programs on Windows, only that it works automatically and specifically for videogames.
Computers today don't cost much and are more and more powerful except in case you want to use the PC as if it were a Playstation, with a video card always updated to the latest model and powerful and expensive hardware.
Most people have mid-level PCs, with which they can play many video games but not at all and, above all, not at a maximum level of graphic quality.
Often then some games, especially the 3D ones, online and multiplayer, suffer from the so-called Lag, or a delay in updating, caused by a bad communication between computer and server, which leads to confuse the action and make the game unplayable.
Performance problems then lower the Frame Rate, which is the frame refresh rate, causing that unpleasant effect of the jerky video.
Download and install Razer Cortex Boost, the new IOBit Game bOoster name, for Windows 10, 8 and 7.
To use it, all you need to do is open the program, enter the Gamebox, add the installed games and launch one from that screen, by pressing the Boost and Launch button.
Those who use a powerful computer built for video games probably don't need Game Booster, but all casual players could really benefit from it.
Game Booster is one of the best programs to optimize the computer for games and video games, among which Toolwiz Gameboost is also mentioned, a very similar tool to be used as an alternative in case Game Booster 3 should give problems.
The most important way in which Game Booster 3 helps to maximize the game system is to take control of the available resources and manage them automatically so that they are entirely dedicated to the game.
Basically, the power of the computer is squeezed to the last drop, concentrating everything for the videogame which, consequently, will have a higher speed and a higher frame rate.
Just think, to understand how it works, a Playstation 3 if it had an operating system that constantly consumes 20% or 40% of memory and CPU; it would certainly not be the powerful console we know.
With Game Booster, the PC becomes almost a Playstation and, within the limits of available resources, it is possible to increase the chances of running smoothly, non-jerky, fast and with an acceptable response time, even games that require high minimum requirements.
GB3 helps to keep the drivers updated, offers instant analysis and information on almost any running process or program (so you can decide whether to disable it or not) and applies many other small adjustments and changes.
Any changes are applied only when the game is started and the computer is reset to normal when you exit the game.
For example, if during a game, the antivirus updates itself, Windows downloads the updates, if you receive messages on the chat. or if you automatically start a scheduled operation, there would be a decisive drop in performance.
Game Booster pauses all background operations and limits the network bandwidth for other programs, to dedicate the network connection and computer power to the game.
In fairness, we must warn that any retouching can have a side effect that can manifest itself with the appearance of errors, crashes or system freezes.
Leaving the default settings after the installation of Game Booster, surely there will be no problems that can instead arise if you try a customized optimization of the parameters.
The ideal games to measure the effectiveness of this tool are the online and multiplayer 3D shooters that, on underpowered or overcrowded PCs, run slowly and with a lot of lag.
