Has Anyone Used "gamgain"?

hey i was surfing the internet and came across this software "gamegain" which promise to increase performance in games,so i installed it and to my surprise i was having an increase of 2 fps in crysis benchmak tool.
so has anyone tried it and noticed some difference in games?

 

i guess its same as gamebooster, all they do is disbble services and stuff so u free up more cpu power and ram, it works sometimes though in small margins

 

is a 2 fps increase something you can really attribute to that program?

I mean, if you repeat the benchmark many times, or in different days but everytime with the same settings, what is the +/- you get?

 

Gamebooster has given me improvements. I can prove it with screenshots of game benchmarks. Then again, I have the m11x which needs every bit of cpu it can get. The cpu is the weakest point in that notebook.

Best Wishes,

May I ask what kind of improvements? +5 fps? +10 fps?

Thanks.

 

That's the thing, most background processes just consume RAM until they're actually used for whatever it is that they do. So unless there's a process that's consuming a decent amount of CPU processing while idle, I'd say find that process and eliminate it altogther.

 

As with any of these programs (including Antiviruses and registry cleaners), if you find that they work, then you're doing something wrong.

 

Not everyone can be that savvy, teaching an average Joe how to use some free/cheap software is a hell of a lot easier than trying to teach them every little detail about what exactly can and cannot be harmful to your computer.

And even someone who is already savvy enough can still use them for convenience or peace of mind.

Like gamegain, if you don't want to manually shut down all your background programs that might cost you a couple FPS, that doesn't make you wrong, that makes you lazy.

 

Not really. Ccleaner, Glary Utilities, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware work great. I bet if you ran each of these on your system it would clean up a bunch of junk you didn't even know existed. Does this mean YOU were doing something wrong? Registry cleaners find remnants left from uninstallers that didn't work properly or programmed badly, and any number of things that are outside of the users control. That doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong.

TBH this day and age though, if you have so much stuff in RAM that it affects your game performance, then definitely you're doing something wrong. For the most desktops and notebooks bought in the last year and forward, there's really no reason not to have 4GB RAM.

 

It's nothing to do with tech savvyness. I'm not a car buff but I wouldn't go pouring some liquid into my car that claimed to make it run faster without knowing what it does.

My statement was more a jibe on personal attitudes. I've seen countless so-called "tech" savvy friends with desktops you couldn't find a mouse pointer on and more things running than a heart-&-stroke charity marathon.

If after figuring out which process and services it kills, someone still decide to run it, then congratulations on an informed decision (although I guarantee most after finding this information will simply do it themselves). If they just download it and run it because they heard it makes things run faster, then they deserve whatever crudware is running on their system.

 

well its just a little program that just takes one min to configure its settings and you get some increase in fps which is crucial on low systems such as mine.
One thing i see now is that i am getting overall smooth fps now as before fps used to dip on many occasions but now there is no such thing.
For example in crysis my fps ranged from 26 to 18.but now it ranges from 28 to 22 which only go down in heavy fights.so minimum fps have improved greatly which is all i needed.
another thing that i regurarly use cc cleaner and defragment my hardrive so i have no idea how this is making my games smooth.

 

I'm not even going to bother trying, the background processes about 1.5GB of ram so I still have 6.5GB for the game And have 99% of my CPU available also.

 

XD 1000% overkill

 

it mostly works for low ends laptops, like my x3100 hon went from unplayable to playable with gamebooster

 

gamebooster vs gamgain.

which one is better?

 

Wishmaster - Have not tried gamegain so I have no idea.
Everyone else - It depends on the game. I use several things to help optimize, and of course each game is different so it depends on the game.
Some games like DAWN OF WAR 2 my avg increased from 1 to 2 fps and my max frames stayed the same while my mimimums went up a bit from 8 to 10fps. Just Cause I got anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 fps.

Another thing to consider is how much other "stuff" is installed or loaded at startup. The more other 'stuff' you have the more gain you will get out of gamebooster or gamegain. If you are someone who uses the notebook strictly to game with no productivity apps then you may not see as much than someone with itunes, adobe, productivity, etc...
