I'm sure you are correct. I had not experienced issues with it until i updated it a couple of days ago and ran a new configuration, now however if it's running I'll crash within 5 minutes. On the face of it there is nothing in my configuration that should cause that.

Regarding GameBoost, it basically shuts down services and applications running in background. I suggest you to configure manually the list of services, and keep alive the nvidia related ones. Maybe GB is shutting down the nvidia control panel and this messes up the game-specific nvidia settings.

Cheers!

anything that claims to increase performance is stupid... is for those that have like... 1GB of ram... and don't know how to click start and type msconfig in the search bar.

all they do is clear any excess memory usage... or shut down programs that you're not using... things that anyone can easily do themselves... just by not downloading stuff that claims to increase performance, and by not running programs you're not using while you're playing... by shutting off programs that start when your computer starts, or setting them to not start when your computer does...

Ignorance is bliss. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Gamebooster does more than msconfig can. Not everyone has a dedicated game PC, a lot of us actually use it for more than gaming, where services & background apps are required and these do use up resources not need for gaming.

Gamebooster for me, even on a very well maintained Win7 frees up about 300MB Ram and kills quite a few CPU threads not needed. If you think i'm gonna go through the services maanger and close unnecessary services manually before gaming your nuts.

GB cannot help a poorly setup / configured PC but it does free up resources a hell of a lot easier than any other method i know.

But i'm the same as Furbs.. i dont rely on it.. game runs fine without GB.. turned it off, no drama or issues.
