    The optimization aspect of the tool is mixed; while it offers valuable real-time performance monitoring and a user-friendly interface, many users report that it can cause stuttering, FPS drops, and crashes in games, ultimately hindering performance rather than enhancing it.

Overall, it is seen as a useful diagnostic tool for identifying bottlenecks, but its impact on gameplay can be detrimental.

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature allows users to position elements anywhere on the screen, providing flexibility for customization, such as adding logos for streamers. However, some users have noted that the program prioritizes CPU graphics over GPU, complicating tasks like adding custom text or graphics.

    • “You can place graphics at any position (as you can with any part of any module) on the screen.”
    • “You can place a graphic in any part of the screen, bind it to a key set and turn it on and off at will; this could be a streamer's on-screen logo.”
    • “I like having eyes on my CPU/GPU temp while playing because I'm currently using a gaming laptop and can't find any good graphics cards.”
    • “Sadly that means even a simple task like allowing you to add custom text or graphical elements becomes a chore.”
    • “For some reason, the program prefers to monitor my CPU graphics, not the GPU.”
    • “You can place graphics anywhere on the screen.”
  • gameplay

    • “The grinding in this game is mind-numbing and feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable activity.”
