Well generally defaults are pretty safe, but I would start with stuff like make sure its not shutting off something related to your graphics card and such, I saw that it determined stuff it thought wasnt related to games maybe was.

I think with Gamebooster its better to go through and config yourself, there is alot of stuff it wont turn off that I think it should. Make sure you have the most up to date version to, as with everything...

good luck!

I'm seeing an improvement here on the micro stutters. CTD's are gone (I cannot get it to crash) but I still think they have got big issues with trees and Vsynch- the latter works but at a hell of a hit.

It is going in the right direction but plenty left to do- as it is this game engine just won't fly in a sim based on low level ground attack and defence.

Vsync is, by definition, a frame rate limiter. It will reduce your frame rate to match the refresh rate of your display. If you can't max out the display refresh rate of your display with vsync off you won't max it out with vsync on.

GameBooster ver 3 is pretty modets in what it turns off.. So I agree, use the manual option and I am sure you will be able to turn off alot more. For example, Adobe loves to put things in your start up that sit there doing nothing but taking up mem. But be careful, if there is something running that you are not sure of best to leave it alone

All in all, even if you dont use GameBooster manual mode, it is interesting to at least use it to see all the stuff that is in there and running
