The comment section should lose up and down voting rate the app not the comments

I'm looking forward to trying this program. I've used IObit's game booster in the past, and can only say that it helps me squeeze out enough horsepower for larger games, I can play them on my 8-year old 32-bit Vista system. Better frame rates, no stuttering, everything flows, and crashes are rare. Even better than improving games, it also works magic on my audio software - especially for multi-track recording and editing. I don't think of this as "tweaking" because everything gets reset. If it just shuts down all the, er, stuff that Windows wants to run in the background, it frees up all sorts of processing power and RAM. I expect today's program will be similar, I'm hoping it's even better. Thanks for the chance to try it out.

I have an old version of the classic "Pull Martha Stewart's Pants Down" and I'm hoping this will let me catch that old hag a lot faster!!

This and all the other products of PGWARE don't really work for computers that are newer and with I3,I5 and I7. They are fast already and when you install these software's, they do NOTHING but mess what you tweaked already. These were meant for old and slow computers, ones that have little ram and etc,etc. ANY company that sells a product and NEVER let you see EXACTLY what they have done to your system is bull!!!! Might as well say its a scam because the normal user will never know what it did so how are you going to know if it works or not. I have tried ALL PGWARE products and will say they didn't work for any of my computers because they were upgraded to what Game Gain cheats for you through their so called system reg tweaks and etc, etc. but don't show you. If you claim this works for you, it can only mean you have an old computer with old components or you only think its working but isn't really but taking your money when you buy. Proof is what we all need and want and to claim wonderful things it does without proof, well ........PGWARE can't prove diddly so to me its a farce until otherwise. Don't give credit to a software that you have no idea what it did. No logs, nothing to let you know what it changed or did,hmmmm, sounds suspicious in a way.

I won't rate it since I didn't install it; I didn't install it because it receives low ratings by both users and tech editors.

When it comes to tweaks, game boosters like GameGain may help, or not -- it depends on your hardware, Windows version, software installed, the game you're playing etc. Some can be aggressive enough that they only should be used while gaming, e.g. AMD had software several years back that made quite a few changes on compatible hardware, but it also turned off several things like Windows Update.

The fact that AMD invested the resources to develop, release, & support that software shows that game boosters can help. Whiterabbit, a mod in the forum & for the Game GOTD who's a pretty heavy gamer swears by them.

That said, Cars & PCs can only go as fast as your wallet permits. If you're putting together a PC or upgrading what you already have, there's plenty of info online about which components matter the most for gaming, along with benchmarks for most brands/models of those components. Some CPUs & I think most graphics cards can be overclocked [some come that way from the factory]. Occasionally there are work-a-rounds to unlock performance features that are intentionally limited by the CPU or graphics card manufacturer. And there are tweaks -- some can be more-or-less mandatory for max performance in some games -- while for some people moving to Windows 10 has increased their game performance by up to 50%.

Glen C posted: "The only way IMO to speed up gaming without changing hardware, is to overclock the processor and hope it doesn't burn up."

Generally the higher the processor frequency &/or load the more voltage it takes, & the more voltage used the more heat that's released. A bit more than a decade ago it was possible to destroy a processor by letting it get too hot -- nowadays the CPU, & sometimes the board it's mounted to start throttling the processor, & will shut it down entirely as it approaches critical temperatures.

That said, if you're thinking about overclocking the CPU research 1st -- it usually means buying an unlocked CPU & using a motherboard designed to allow overclocking. Overclocking the graphics card OTOH is common enough that controls are built into the software driver package.

This is simply one of those cases where your mileage may vary. For a company like AMD to invest in a more involved but hardware specific game booster means there has to be something to it. RE: Kiwi1960 & Joey, we watched the Olympics last week... I cannot come close to running anywhere near as fast as a gold medalist -- does that mean that the events were CGI? Of course not! User reports of success & failure are equally valuable so folks reading those reports can judge their odds of success. But they are just reports -- not guarantees -- so we just have to accept that like in all of life, mileage varies.

Back in the day I would edit the services and such of not needed Windows to speed up my gaming, spend a few hours on the net researching what I could and could not change. Then I found a program called "Razer GameBooster." Great little program that allowed me to turn off and then restore things after I finishing gaming. Even paid $10 to get the pro version. But then Razer improved the program and made it free to all. It's now called "Razer Cortex" and does much more than just boost your game. So if you are looking to tweak your rig for gaming you might want to look at Cortex.

I am like most, I checkout the site, see if something I can use. This I feel I don't need. But am gonna give it a go. Like anything I place on my computer I create a system restore point, before loading software, at least I can roll back to my settings before I installed the program, Their been programs that I question myself , why am I installing this and wham, I just discovered something great or at least a gem in the rough that will be improved be a polished gem and I got a full version or near too for free. So if you do things smart you really have much to lose but bandwidth and very little time. Remember restore point before you install and it makes a snap shot of the setting and reg entry's, don't like it roll back nothing lost, but a couple of minutes of time.
Enjoy life's short and even shorter for some of us.

Here is the problem that I have with software like this.

Presumably Microsoft has optimized windows to work efficiently with a wide variety of programs. So GameGain has changed this optimization to make your computer work better with software that has certain characteristics -- the only one mentioned is for software that works full screen. This must mean that other software will work less optimally with these changes.

Secondly, although I can recognize that the marketers of GameGain want to keep some of their modifications secret so that we will buy the software, I'm reluctant to install something that promises to mess with my registry and other system settings without at least giving me a clue as to what changes it's actually making. At a price of $10, many people would be willing to purchase it to automate the process if GameGain's publisher stated explicitly everything that was changed.

Wouldn't several runs with speed-battle.com be a good way to test this?

Although i am not downloading todays giveaway. The reason being that i am in the process of building
myself a new computer setup and will lose the right to reinstall todays software. I have however used
this software before and i did see a marginal increase in Frame rates. Something we all have to realise
with the giveaways, is that we will all have slightly different hardware and setups. Whilst this software
will see increases on some systems, other systems will maybe not see increases. It is not our place to
leave negative votes, if we do not take the software that is offered as leaving a negative will give a false
impression to others that are considering using the giveaway. Many of the vendors that other us the
oppertunity to try their software without costing us a penny, work very hard to provide the software and
we should support them with constructual reviews of their software and not condemn it just because
we do not wish to download and test their offer. Maybe it is time that we had another way of seeing
how many of us download or not download the offer. We could still keep the other voting system as well
as this new way. That way we can see at a glance the amount of interest of the software.

I do not often post here though I come on here frequently to see what is on offer. If it interests me then I take it, if not I will leave it. I, as many others appreciated Karls remarks and if in doubt about certain downloads would wait to see what he said. I can understand Kiwi's and Joey's points of view. If you do not want it, you dont take it, but do not give a down just because you do not like it. Some people have had issues with downloads, I for one had one but this has not put me off.
I will not be taking this offer as I am not a gamer.
Have a good day all on your ends of the Earth.

To:Kiwi1960
I was wondering where Karl went. Damn I miss that guy. I'm self taught computerwise and I have him and this site to thank for a lot of it. If your out there...Thanks Karl!
I never bother with the thumbs up, thumbs down thing. I do read the comments though. Don't worry Kiwi, everyone can tell a clown when they read one. I've been coming here for many years and never thought you were a vendors agent. Makes perfect sense to offer out of date or in date software for free in return for comments on how to improve.
The only thing that turns me off are added hoops and ladders the software developers add to the download process and I'm not at all turned on by the social media part of it or the contests. But hey, things change. I'm hip. This is the best site like this out there so relax - us old timers and anyone with a brain are with you solid. and THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK & TIME. I greatly appreciate it.

Many people are under the wrong assumptions about what this website is actually for. People who have no need for the days offering mark it down, and review EVERY positive comment down as well, because maybe they are under the false misconception that the site owners won't offer anything like this again, and maybe, next time, they can get a program they like and can use. I hate to pour water on your fantasies....

This site is a way for program authors to get valuable feedback from those that have actually used the program, your marking down our comments doesn't negate the information we are providing the authors, however, you DO everyone a dis-service. It is no wonder that Karl left this site after proving so many useful reviews.

Stop being so damned selfish, and try to GIVE BACK rather than just TAKE TAKE TAKE all the time, I couldn't care less if you mark down my comments to minus a zillion.... I know my comments are honest, can YOU say that about your marking a comment down and making unhelpful comments....

Being accused of being the "vendors agents" is a very immature comment to make. I can only assume that the person making the comment, and others like it, are children compared to me, as my name suggests, I am 56 years old, and retired due to ill health. I am no ones agent except to honesty and appreciation to GAWOTD for making these useful programs available to me to use and test..... If there is ever a program I do not want, then I do NOT mark it up or down, nor do I comment negatively or positively.

I'm actually ashamed to have you people on this site, I like this site... but I am ashamed. Its no wonder Karl left.

Have a nice day. (and I hope this comment is published... the truth NEEDS to be told!)

Holy smokes. I can now easily find the Pokeman wherever I take my laptop. This software transformed my life. Thank you Kiwi for this product.

I am usually skeptical of software like this. After reading the enthusiastic responses of users such as kiwi1960, I thought I would give it a try. Wow, am I glad I did. I usually game on my Xbox. After installing GameGain, however, I stuck my Xbox disk for Battle Toads in my pc and started playing. It was amazing. The horizontal refresh rates on my display jumped to 1175 Hz. This allowed for an increase of about 105 FPS with my gaming mouse. Thanks guys!!!

It is unbelievable. Every positive comment and every comment where the poster has tested the software has gotten a load of negative marks. What is the explanation of that.

Several days ago the Lasso program got numerous positive comments. Both the program being offered today and Lasso claim similar improvements.

Again, I have to wonder why so many negative marks on comments where the program is actually been tested.

The only way IMO to speed up gaming without changing hardware, is to overclock the processor and hope it doesn't burn up. This reminds me of software that is said to make DRAM for efficient by clearing it out. Am I missing something here?

I made some tests with 3D Mark 11. Not a single point gain after "boosting". And yes, you'll need to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade your computer hardware if you want to play most recent games (at least GPU).

Claim: "GameGain makes several Windows registry and system changes to increase the performance of your current gaming hardware; this allows you to play the most recent games without having to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade your computer hardware."

I knew it of course, but curiosity took over me.

Ridiclous claims. No software can improve hardware performances for another application. And if there was such application (there is not) it would improve the performances of the PC not only performances of ‘gaming’. At any rate, my test showed that there were no improvements to the at all, but checking the task manger and CPU core usage, when GameGain is running, GameGain takes CPU and RAM memory. In other words, it damage performances not improving it. I have to conclude that ‘Kiwi1960’ and ‘Joey’ are the vendor’s agents. Uninstall.

Did a bit of research on this software. Usually I'm wary of programs that claim to speed up gaming, since the software itself, if it starts with windows, can hog some of your system's resources. However, this software didn't add itself to my startup. Rather it did its thing after install, then asked to reboot, which I did (after setting a restore point). This software has been around a while, at least since win XP. So they don't appear to be a fly-by-night company. I then ran Fallout 4 (graphically intensive) with Fraps. I went to an area in the game where my FPS were in the high teens and there was a definite increase of 7 to 8 FPS. Also, GameGain's $10 price tag makes it highly affordable if your system crashes and you lose your registration. Thanks GOTD!

The setup exe doesn't install anything. It want to install the informer but that's it. Yes Setup.gcd is in the same folder, 6,150kb.


I have the key per instructions. Where's the program? Defunked .gcd file?

Rather than just MOAN about this share, I decided to actually test the program on a game. I play World Of Warships every day, and at the start, its quite jerky... my internet is fast enough, but hey, such is life.

This program didn't eliminate the start up jerks, where the game would lock for up to 5 seconds... but it did cut it back to about .5 seconds... and being an online game, those seconds can be crucial.

This one is a keeper... thanks for a great program, only wished I could test it on other games... but I'm not that hooked on games.... however, I reckon it will help with playing Kerbal Space Program....

I am impressed. Thanks.

I'm quite skeptical about these claims, and especially regarding disk & gpu speed improvements, as the others are standard settings available via the Control Panel.
Could the developer please explain here the methods used for gaining these improvements?

One advice. Please, do a system restore point before use this program, so you can restore back to situation before it has make some "magic" on your system. You have been warned.
