Gamebooster 3 released

Hey guys, those of you with the r1 will be happy to know gamebooster released a new update to 3.0. This even applies to those of you with the r2 with games that run just barely. Comes with even more tweaks and CPU hog reducers. With the r3 I noticed slight performance gains.
Game Booster 3.0 Free Download, Speed Up PC for Top Gaming Performance

Let me know how it works for you

 

Sticking with v2.41 because I abhor v3.0's skin. Looks like Windows 95 or something.

 

its been out for awhile. upgraded like 2 weeks ago. i even use it on my rig.

 

sorry for being a fresh newbie here (and constant complainer of hinges lol) but how effective is gamebooster, well for r1's atleast?

Like a miniscule 3-5fps?

 

Ah yeah I know it was released a while ago but I didn't see a post ad I know a lot of r1/r2 users can use the tweaks.

As for how effective: it's not used to greatly increase performance. It's used to make games that are slightly unplayable, become playable.

 

So game-booster, actually works?

 

I get almost no performance boost whatsoever with Gamebooster on my M11x R2.... I rarely use it, if ever.

 

It only helps if your game is on brink of not being playable. (ie: R1 and BC2)

 

M11x + GB3 + Bc2 on medium settings = playable?

 

Try and let me know. I havent had my R1 for a year and a half. If you have 275.33 low is playable so Idk.

 

This release is out for 2 weeks now , but they still didin't fix the 404 Error with download ahahaha

 

I dont see why you would need this if you have plenty of ram?

 

because, it turns off unnecessary processes, and optimizes a few things to help performance.

 

and I never said it was for me. It's mainly for R1 users overall. Just helping out those people that still want to game. It eliminates CPU hogging apps as well.

 

Exacyly. Every single application in ram use a few CPU cycles , shuting them down free the CPU a bit for games.

 

I have been using Gamebooster sense I got my R1 on any game that is CPU intensive. It really helped with Metro2033

 

So.. Out of curiosity. How much memory do you ACTUALLY save by using this app?

 

About 200 Mb for me.

Adding every CPU cycle that thoses 200 Mo program / services ram uses , you get a great performance boost. Of course , you won't be able to play game you should not without the software , but it helps having sometimes 3-5 more fps with that soft if your computer is a bit limited ( just like the M11X is with his CPU , R1 talking )

You can boost the amount of ram by killing a few program that you installed on your computer but did not want during gaming ( for exemple , iPod services, antivirus or else ) , as GB monitor when you're in game or not and re activate thoses services after the game end.

 

Ok guys, I downloaded Game Booster 3 just to see if I could squeeze out any more FPS in BF3 beta.
I think I get an extra 1-2 FPS and it runs a little bit smoother but that is probably just the placebo effect.

Anyway, in Game Booster it has an option to Diagnose, so I clicked it to see what it would come up with.

It spits out a little event log and at the end of it I get this weird message saying:
The NVIDIA OpenGL driver has encountered an out of memory error. This application might behave inconsistently and fail.

Would someone be able to try it?

I want see if it is a common error or just something wrong with me...

 

No such issue on a R3.

 

Hmmmm... What drivers are you on? I'm using the 285.38 BF3 beta drivers but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it.

I would really appreciate it if anyone else could try it and see if they get a similar error message to mine.

Thanks in advance

 

Having the same issue though I do not have Gamebooster installed. You will find this error message in the administrative tools under event viewer which is where GB is pulling it from. I, like you am running the latest BF3 beta Nvidia drivers and I'm pretty sure that is the problem. Checking the event log the messages are posted several time every second. I have also been having random system lockups when browsing in Firefox and I'm not sure if this is also related to the beta Nvidia drivers. I'll keep you posted if I find a solution unless you already found one and can share it with me.

 

Cool man, keep us posted if you find anything. Luckily I haven't had any random lockups, only random bursts of sounds occasionally, whenever the GPU gets a bit excited. Not sure if it has anything to do with this error but it's pretty weird none the less.
Hope you can get to the bottom of it and get it sorted.

 

whoa. nvidia crashing is not unheard of regardless of driver used. If the message has any merit then possibly explains the crashes.

I'll give this a shot later (R1). Using the homebrew optimus drivers currently.

 

No error like what you were seeing.

 

This and MSI:A made a HUGE difference to deus ex: HR. Playing smoothly at 1080p with edge AA, normal shadows/depth of field/ SSAO vsync and triple buffering. Appreciate it.

 

It made no difference at all for me on my R1 (pinmod or not).

If you watch your system processes there is no point in running game booster at all. Most of the processes or services it kills aren't using any system resources anyway.

 

I can kinda see this app being handy. Like a batch file to kill open apps/processes and another to start them up again. If you are the sort to run will minimal processes all the time then I doubt you see any gain and the program will probably not find much to change.

GB is claiming to lower resources by 2 processes & 17 services on my system. In my case I doubt any improvement for the games I have as most of those processes would be idle.

I suppose you could go through the BV pages and permanently shut down services or even install an app like this and make notes to do manually... or just use GB to do it.

Any suggestions on a game that can be used to bench this? From what I can see its value is only when you can "almost" run it. Willing to try most anything before/after if it has a demo.

 

haha I found a quite insane way to close all those unnessesary processes quickly, open steam and then set your computer to shut down. a grey screen will come up saying its wating for steam to close with two buttons below, FORCE SHUTDOWN and CANCEL. press cancel quickly before the computer shuts down. now open task manager and behold! your 80~ processes have been reduced to less than 60! LOL (i do actually do this though is that bad?)

 

Haha, that's a pretty extreme way to kill those processes. That is exactly what Gamebooster does though, so I would suggest that instead. You can also chose more processes for Gamebooster to suspend if you think it's needed.

 

I would either do manually or use GB but whatever gets the job done

 

Has Gamebooster been proven to actually have any positive effect other than suggestive?

 

IMO if your system does better when all Zara processes and services are disabled or closed then it will

 

They have small registry tweaks that help with some things in 3.0+.
The only other positive effect is borderline games will get 1-3fps. For instance I tried it with BF3 and got 27 fps where I normally got 25-26.
