service, process, or scheduled task to “optimise” means to turn them off
We use the term Optimize to tell user that we are stopping this system component to help boost performance, as this will reduce load on CPU and disk and make more system resources available for running user apps and games. The only way to prevent a service or process from consuming resources is to stop them, as not all services support Pause command and suspending processes may fail and leads unexpected issues.
Clicking [ Defaults ] changes things NOT on screen
Can you tell me where is the Defaults setting?
There’s no way of knowing what’s turned on before or after using Game Fire, so if we “toggle” a service, process, or scheduled task, it my or may not have been on or off before, and it may or may not be on or off after – who knows?
Game Fire logs every action made to the system in Game Mode log, even the created directories, files, and Registry keys. Make sure you have enabled Game Mode log from the Settings. The log supports both when turn on and off Game Mode, access the log from this location C:\Users\Ahmed Osama\AppData\Local\Smart PC Utilities\Game Fire\Logs\Game Mode.log.
Game Mode Report gives you brief information about changes and optimizations made to the system, for example the stopped processes services, and scheduled tasks.
By enabling Optimize third party apps and services in Game Mode Profile, Game Fire will display a dialog box that shows running third party processes and services and will enable you to select which components to optimize.
what they mean by Memory Cache, they do not say
It affects this Registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] DisablePagingExecutive=1
You can get more information about changed Registry values by opening the backup file created by System Optimizer in Notepad C:\Users\Ahmed Osama\AppData\Local\Smart PC Utilities\Game Fire\Backup
I asked for F Farenheit, it shows C Celcius anyway … it claims to run at 100% processor speed, yet reports about 43% processor speed … under CPU it says CPU, that’s it, no further information about CPU … and RAM is described as, wait for it, RAM … otherwise it does offer typical hardware details – it looks as if they are using universal programmer’s toolkits, and they are just poorly implemented, see alternatives from Open Hardware Monitor, CPUId, SysInternals BGInfo, and so on instead, but it would be nice if this software always had a dashboard with indicator gauges, and simple 1-2-3 steps to see and control everything, all on screen at the same time, so if I turn off something in panel 2, I see the available RAM increase immediately in panel 4.
Enable the Fahrenheit scale by selecting option Show temperature in Fahrenheit in Hardware Monitor section in Game Fire Settings.
If you dig deeper, you would notice that we are using Open Hardware Monitor and Game Fire shows useful hardware information specially real-time hardware performance information.
Game Fire already has mini dashboard, right click on Game Fire system tray and click System Monitor It shows both hardware information and resources usage.
I will continue our discussion in my next post
