How to increase framerates in games: Razer Cortex promises to boost FPS in games, as well as optimize graphics settings using machine learning AI algorithms. In this Razer Cortex review I put those claims to the test. I also address questions like "What is Razer Cortex?" and "Is it safe to use Razer Cortex?". So, is Razer Cortex a scam or is it a good way to increase your performance in games?

Fantastic objective review! I have seen multiple "overly positive" reviews on RU-vid pushing people to download it. Yours is the first to parallel my real world experience point for point.

@danielowentech 3 года назад

I checked out some of the other reviews before making mine, and a lot of them seemed designed as click bait to get people to think this is an easy way to boost performance rather than actual reviews.

@vinaynair2054 3 года назад

Soo this is just a scam?

@danielowentech 3 года назад

@@vinaynair2054 the "boost" thing really does turn off some windows processes and stuff while gaming which might matter if you are cpu bottlenecked or extremely low on RAM. But you can do the same thing manually if you know what you are doing. The graphics setting guide seems bad but it does give people some suggestions I guess. The deals page might interest some people. So I dont think it is a scam (it is free), I just don't think it is very useful. They probably profit mainly by getting people into their ecosystem to try to sell them Razer products.

@Sam-K 3 года назад

I think it's best to learn about graphical settings, how they work, what they're supposed to do and how much resources system they use. Whenever I'm trying to optimize a game, I lock my frame rate to 30 or 60 (depending on my performance target) and turn-on GPU usage graph via MSI Afterburner. This way, I can see exactly how impactful each graphical setting is and tune the settings accordingly. If a certain settings bumps up the GPU usage from say 55% to 59% then it means I can "afford" it. Anything over 10% is 'taxing' and 20% is 'pushing', if that makes any sense. Really helps fine tune the game if you have low-end hardware.

@berryvr7184 3 года назад

the best thing to do to get better performance out of your computer with software like this is something like Process Laso Pro. its basically the manual version of what this program is doing, but allot more detailed. i use it and my computer basically has 1-2% background useage (other computer obviously might be differnt) so its completely focused on running the game. highly recommend watching a tutorial first tho. your doing what people do with car tuning and just tweaking your computer programs to run more efficiently for when your gaming.

Thank you for the video! Lots of great info and honest! One feedback! Since you didn't think this was a good program to use.. It would be nice if you had an alternative you do recommend for game boosting performance that does what Cortex claims to do. I would absolutely love to find something like it that actually works well and makes sense in it's decisions to turn off things/change settings. I'll keep an eye out for your response if you know something that I should try that you recommend!

@hunchochristian233 Год назад

Cortex is probably the best out of the FPS boosters. There are things like Process Laso Pro that let you manually do it but I rather recommend messing with system settings instead, plenty of videos out there that point out the main things that maximize your performance.

@HullarsRedDust Год назад

I used Cortex for years on my old pc and it worked fine and I THOUGHT it was "boosting" my games. But when i got my new pc and re-downloaded it I noticed that while it is "boosting", my game runs perfectly fine but every other program I have open becomes extremely laggy or unresponsive and even crash. I find some of the tools helpful like defrag and system clean, but overall it has gotten worse over time with the addition of pop up ads and "PlAy tO EaRn". I also have a theory that some of the performance problems on my new pc could be cause by the new P and E cores and maybe not working properly with the booster.

Unrelated to this software I'm not a big fan of Razer personally. I remember buying a gaming mmorpg mouse, a kraken headset and a black widow mechanical keyboard about 6 years ago. The mouse started having issues a little over a year after I bought it, the wires inside the cable were breaking internally so the mouse stopped working, the kraken headset broke where the speakers extend because of the crappy design and using weak plastic. I didn't have any issues with the keyboard. I vowed not to buy any of their peripherals. I've heard quite a few people have similar stories to mine.

I also played Apex and Valorant with the use of Cortex and damn, it gives huge significant boost to my system.

@69k_gold 3 года назад

I tried razer on the suggestion of my friend. It's actually disastrous for RAM bottlenecked computers cuz mine has a i7 non-suffix cpu with just 8GB of ddr3 so the RAM is getting bottlenecked here, and since Razer is taking up 500MB of RAM and only clearing like 300MB im actually losing more precious RAM in the process. My theory to increase performance is simple: The lesser the items in your tray, the better the results in your game. That's why please don't prefer Discord over in-game voice chat gamers. Discord is unnecessarily taking up more RAM and CPU and most setups are bottlenecked by CPU not GPU

@danielowentech 3 года назад

Yeah that's consistent with my test here showing increased ram use with Cortex due to the overhead of running the program.

The "game boost" does turn off unnecessary windows services while gaming but in my testing it didn't help and the overhead from running the Cortex program seemed worse for RAM. Although maybe lower end systems with not much ram and a cpu bottleneck could benefit, especially if they have a bunch of unnecessary junk installed that is running in the background.

The cpu usage is significant lower on RDR2 with cortex. I bet cpu temperature is lower too. Cortex may not give you more fps but can improve frametime and stutters on cpu bound scenarios since it closes running background process.

Use other good programs or scripts that will close and restrict those useless background processes and it'll do the trick better than Cortex could.

@yushirogowa3217 2 года назад

There might be a way to feel more improvement using high end specs, virtual reality. The computer's basically processing 2 of the same game with each screen, so having cortex enabled might yield some performance boost. I've got H3VR modded to the brink using an RTX 2070 Super and 16 GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, using it without cortex and it would actually crash SteamVR due to using too many resources... I was being RAM bottlenecked, and using cortex actually made it play and be more stable. Of course that's my take on it and I might be completely wrong, but yeah.

For me Razer Cortex consumes 10% of CPU all the time even when not gaming, And heated my CPU to 80ºC (Even on eco mode) even when doing nothing on my Ryzen 7 5800x. If gives worst fps so I'll not use it anymore.

I once got as a present a Razer headset and it was at that moment when they asked me to log in with my email just to download the driver to use their headset that I realised I want nothing to do with them. I gave the headset away first chance, it was bad in pretty much every way anyway. I knew they were overpriced and not the best quality but ever since I purposefully avoid their products, no matter in which form they come.

I was glad that with Cortex I could avoid creating a Razer account although it continually bugs me to do it. I think their main money maker on this product is trying to get you to make an account and sell you stuff, email you offers, etc

What a weak program it is . The original gamebooter actually make some sense by turn off the aero theme for the windows to save up some of the vram and gpu usage .

Thank you for your vidéo. This software is stupid. I don't use Geforce Experience but for you Geforce Experience is better ??

@sazokuotsutsuki8848 Год назад

Geforce experience isn't a game booster, it's to update drivers. It can change game settings as an optimization whether you prefer performance over graphics or vice versa or both.
