Overall, user reviews on optimization are mixed; while some report noticeable performance gains and smooth gameplay, others find little to no improvement in their gaming experience. The software is praised for its potential to enhance performance, especially with modern APIs like Vulkan and DirectX 12, but not all users experience the same benefits, leading to frustration for some.
“I don't usually put my faith in all software solutions for performance boosts unless they are hardware drivers, but I have to say that I really noticed a performance gain.”
“"Unparalleled maximum performance" is thrown in your face the second you get to their website.”
“It sets an amazing precedent in an industry invented by charlatans, and in this day and age with Vulkan and DirectX 12 re-invigorating interest for "close to the metal" performance, this app is a very welcome change.”
“Frustrating reboot and gaming a week or so, gaming accelerator 2 gave little or no change to my gaming performance in my eyes.”
“The performance side of things (for me at least) wasn't noticeable; my rig always gets 40-60 fps on medium to high settings for all games as long as I keep ambient occlusion off.”
“I saw no hitching and stuttering that I was used to at 144 Hz, and it was so smooth in fact that I decided to re-enable LightBoost.”
