“Tune Windows for better gaming!”

by Jon Riggall about Game Booster

Game Booster aims to get the most out of your system, changing the settings so it can run games better. Not all of us can afford an optimized gaming PC, and use one system for everything from surfing the internet, listening to music to playing games.

As new games often use a lot of system resources, running them smoothly requires turning other applications off. Game Booster is a neat application that will do lots of these processes at the click of a button, freeing up much needed RAM for all sorts of games: online games, shooting games or racing games, among others.

As well as improving gaming, Game Booster will also help in running any system hungry application you choose to launch. Game Booster itself uses very little processing power, and it's great being able to turn lots of processes on and off with a single click.

While we found it successful at freeing up a surprising amount of RAM, Game Booster could be improved by being able to turn off other apps people often run all the time, like iTunes. Currently there is no way to edit the list of processes to suspend.

Game Booster won't perform miracles, but will help squeeze the most out of your system and get games running more smoothly.

Pros
  • Stops lots of operations simultaneously
  • Lightweight
  • Sleek interface appearance
Cons
  • Can't edit application list

Developer's description

“Boost Gaming Performance!”

Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, Game Booster helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance. Works 100% compatible with PunkBuster, Cheating-Death, VAC, and any other anti-cheat software.

It works by updating hardware drivers, downloading essential gaming tools, tweaking system settings for gaming, defragmenting game directories, temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® and XP® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business - gaming.

Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, Game Booster helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts.

    I have used this for about two months. First use, noticed it shut down my 2nd Monitor, and paused most non-game-essential running tasks. Took me a while to realize my mouse wasn't broke, just th... More
