Best Paid for Software for Optimizing Game Performance

[berderder]

Hey everybody,

 

I know there is a lot of free software out there useful for optimizing games and Windows, but I have some money to spend and would like some recommendations on paid for software that has some critical features over their free versions.

Geforce Experience optimizes game settings if that's what you're looking for.

[Vacsol]

Yeah, use this app

[Phllips]

Just get drivers thats the only thing that helps

You cannot beat tweaking manually to maximize game performance.

 

Nvidia's GeForce Experience, and AMD's Raptr both suck more dick than Paris Hilton on crystal meth.

I can attest to Raptr sucking... But hey, points for hardware and games!

Hmmm Paris Hilton sucking dick on Crystal Meth you say....better start tweaking more manually.

 

I've been playing Witcher 2 which has some problems on even good rigs.  Geforce Experience definitely helped, but I can see why I wouldn't necessarily need it.  The game had a problem for me with Ubersampling I think.

 

i5-3570k

Geforce GTX 660

8 GB ram

Windows 8 on SSD

 

I suppose even Windows utilities I would be interested in.  For instance, I splurged on an antimal/spyware because I was just sick of not necessarily getting the deepest clean possible with freeware.

I run it maxed out on my rig, but with ubersampling off. At 1920x1080 ofc. Great game btw.

 

Just thinking logically about what to turn down/off is all you need. I.e, Anti Aliasing/ Anisotropic Filtering are the first 2 things to lower/disable, followed by shadows. After that, Post Processing and then texture quality.

Thanks Fulgrim.  Yeah, ubersampling I think is what did it for me as well.  

 

It's good to know the order of what to turn off in that sort of descending order.  That's the sort of the thing that I am not as familar with, except knowing that anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering are up there.  

 

Very good game - one of my favorites in the genre so far.  I am not usually a fantasy fan.  More of a sci fi person.  This game kind of blew me away though with how rich the storyline and setting is.  Almost overwhelming at first the amount to take on because it feels a little different than anything at first, but well worth whatever learning curve or adjustment there may be.
