IObit Game Booster

Game Booster is a system utility that gives PC players a one-click solution for freeing up all available resources and improving game performance during long gaming sessions. The app is designed from the ground up for older legacy versions of Windows OS, such as Windows XP and Windows Vista, which lack modern OS-level optimizations for disabling or pausing different background services that are unnecessary during normal gaming sessions. 

Note that IObit Game Booster is now Advanced SystemCare Free!

Game Booster will automatically shut down background programs, clean RAM, and optimize the CPU for maximum performance. All of these operations are most noticeable on older PCs with limited available hardware or on newer PCs preparing to launch modern titles that require powerful gaming hardware. With a single mouse click, this little program will free up all available resources, creating the optimal environment for speedier gameplay and enhanced gaming stability. 

The app's UI is designed for maximum simplicity, with a large "Start Boost" button and a few more options for controlling how the PC uses its available resources. It is crucial to note that the software does not attempt to overclock your hardware (CPU, GPU, and RAM), nor does it attempt to modify your Windows Registry or other system settings. The software aims to be as unobtrusive as possible, only freeing up resources from unnecessary system operations that waste CPU, GPU, and RAM utilization. 

This application is ideal for PC newbies and new PC owners who wish to enhance their PC performance with a single click of a mouse button. However, even advanced PC users can benefit from this lightweight tool to periodically free up RAM and CPU resources from unneeded system tasks. The program can also assist laptop users in marginally lowering their power use. 

Game Booster is completely free and works on both legacy and newer versions of the Windows operating system. It includes unique improvements for older versions of the Windows operating system, such as Windows XP and Vista.
