The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Recently, I've been using Game Booster as a program to help increase performance from my PC games without the need to overclock or constantly mess with ini settings: http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html
On the whole, the program works as intended; it automatically shuts off processes that I can list as "unnecessary", and I've gotten improvements in many games, going so far as to go from 30 fps originally to a stable 60 fps using the program.
But it isn't perfect....in fact, it can get really darn slow when it's reloading the processes once I shut my game off. But even more annoying is when it decides to boost just for opening up a game's launcher instead of the actual game. As a result, it doesn't play nice with Skyrim, so I've had to disable it for that game altogether.
So my question is simple: is there a much better alternative to Game Booster that offers similar (if not better) results?
Yeah, if stuff running in the background drops you from 60fps to 30 then you have some kind of problem with your computer. Most games are GPU not CPU bound these days.

CCleaner -> defragment -> update your drivers -> uninstall shit you don't use -> make other shit not run at startup
All of these are preferable to your borderline product hawking.

Someone told me to give RadeonPro a shot, which I'm currently doing now.
Though I at least solved the Skyrim issue by setting Game Booster to boost manually by my own accord. I'm always open to new ideas though.
