Title: GameBooster
Post by: lavamike on July 17, 2009, 07:44:07 pm

If found this neat, free little program that actually does work pretty well.  You turn it on before you play games and it shuts down the Windows Services that you don't need while playing games and when your done, turns them back on.  It also shows a list of running programs that it think you may not need while playing and offers to close them too, but you don't have to.

Got a FPS boost of like 5-10 FPS. :)

Not compatible with MTA 0.5 if you close all services.

You may have to try un-selecting some services from the list.  Maybe MTA 0.5 needs one of them since it's like a mod.  Works fine for me on SA:MP however.

It has had no effect on my computer, but I'll still use it. I will try it on my old PC when the GPU is delivered.

I have been using it for long long time already. I see difference on some games, so it works well.
