Razer Cortex

PC gaming comes with several frustrations, such as low performance or corrupt save files. Razer Cortex can improve your gaming experience significantly. It serves as a highly effective nervous system for gaming. The software comes with a large selection of useful tools, which can help you manage your games, increase your computer's performance during gameplay, take screenshots or record and much more.

Like other fine applications from Razer, Cortex is offered completely free of charge. It is compatible with all modern Windows operating systems and it can be installed in no time. It doesn't ask for any special tools or services and its hardware requirements are modest.

Razer Cortex includes a games manager, a search engine for online game deals, a performance booster and a sharing center, which enables you to record your gameplay or take screenshots and share them on YouTube or Facebook. You can access these four modules on a single user interface, on separate tabs.

The games manager is the most straightforward feature. You can import your games onto the user interface and browse through them much easier. They are displayed as tiles, which can be customized with different names and cover art images. Also, the software's search function will help you locate and run specific games instantly. Games can be imported manually, by selecting their executables on a standard Open dialog, but you can also let the program scan for your installed games and import them automatically. If you are looking for cheap games, you can use the program's search engine to find the best deals on various digital distribution services, like Steam or others.

The performance booster is the highlight of the program's functionality. It consists of several sub-tabs, on which you can execute various operations to increase your computer's performance. For example, if you enable the boost mode, the program will temporarily shut down non-essential processes and services to save memory. You can also diagnose your system, make various fine tweaks to speed it up, defragment games, download and install new drivers and more.

Razer Cortex can also back up save files from any game and store them on DropBox. If you ever had an experience with corrupt save files, then you will definitely agree that Cortex is an invaluable tool, due to its backup feature.
