  • Great for loading adware/malware onto your PC!

    Ulster Mongoose

    Pros
    i swear by the beard of almighty Zeus that this fine piece of software no other "gamer booster" could not load any more annoying adware and other malware on to your pc than 'Razer Game Booster', i mean, i almost had to reinstall windows completely! if you want to be pissed off to the point where you want to physically harm the people you put this together then well.. look no further.

    Cons
    Well if i had to choose one this wrong with this...neurowise and Advance Elite are fucking soul crushing sneaky adware programs and all but they could do more i feel.

    Summary
    if you hate your pc and yourself, download this and the 'great' bundled programs that come with it
  • Program is very easy to use.

    Ironbrute

    Pros
    1. Simple. 2. You can start recording videos by pressing ctrl + alt + V 3. easy upload access to your youtube channel. 4. no lag at all5. Works well for windows 7

    Cons
    I have yet to stumble upon any cons yet. Its a free program and is still in beta. I'm sure there might be some bugs in the program but have yet to have that issue.

    Summary
  • Fake system tweaks.

    Pros
    Boost buttons looks cool, thats about it.

    Registry changes for the tweaks are fake.

  • BadBadBad

    Constipated02

    Pros
    -Sort of easy to use interface-Constant freezes are fun

    Cons
    -Random FPS drops I was playing GMOD, and there were 2 - 3 props on screen, and it went from 15 to 3.-Crappy FPS Black Ops runs at 30 - 50 FPS now that I've deleted Razer. It used to be at most 20.-Craps on your computer when you load it up-Another gr-e-e-e-e-a-a-t product from Razer Inc.-Only usable online-Requires a log-in

    Summary
    Honestly, you'd be better off not using this at all. It doesn't boost games, hell, it even LOWERS your FPS. What I recommend? GETACOMPUTERTHATCANHANDLEGAMES. Peace.1 / 10000000<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 14, 2014<p/>wat srsly wat
  • FPS drops - Shit

    Razer_Hater

    Pros
    looks nice

    Cons
    Tried it on games and got an fps drop of 60-70 average to a 20-30 average even after uninstalling it.

    Summary
    Dont recommend makes games run horribly
  • Deleted everything from my hard drive.

    ComputerUser123

    Pros
    It showed me when driver updates were available before I updated Game Booster.

    Cons
    After opening the program, I was prompted that an update was available. I updated the program and it deleted all my files on that hard drive and created a bunch of junk folders as well. Deleted all the games that it was supposed to boost.

    Summary
    CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING. THIS PROGRAM LITERALLY DELETED EVERY PROGRAM ON MY HARD DRIVE. Luckily it was my secondary hard drive, but this is still a major issue with the program. Terrible coding and poor testing before an update is pushed and now I have to spend hours fixing everything this program messed up.
  • Really good

    Windows78

    Pros
    -Can record and take screenshots of games-Easy to use-Really good

    Cons
    -Requires .NET Framework 4.0-I need always to log in which is very annoying

    Summary
  • Game booster on steriods

    super14man1

    Pros
    If you used game booster before you know how to use this software and it is 100 percent free

    Cons
    have to be online at all times to use this software. Entering an username and password each time using the program is annoying.

    Summary
  • Great product!

    stoupedog

    Pros
    Nice, sleek designFast to boost and unboost gamesLots of other features (e.g defrag and screen recording)

    Cons
    Slightly slow to start up.

    Summary
    Overall, I think this is a very good product from Razer, but you only really need it if you have games on your computer that run badly. In conclusion, if you have a top of the line gaming computer, you probably don't need this, but if you have to change your video settings to low to reach 30fps in games, then I would recommend this product for you.
