Game Dashboard

Effective, stable and minimal; the best tool I've found to help limit/stabilize framerate and monitor GPU sensors or resources. Does what it says with no bloat, and the emphasis the developer puts on data privacy is appreciated. Highly recommend.

Purchased this about an hour ago and have to say it does exactly what i needed it to do - I was getting really high temps in Disco Elysium and after a bit of investigation I realised it was because the game was trying to render at 140+ FPS ... This utility allowed me to put a cap of 60 FPS and temps drop significantly. Also, want to say thanks to the devs, I had a question around profiles which was answered within 15 mins of posting on the discussion channel, much appreciated.

Can't personally recommend this and sadly past the refund request time frame. I have tried everything they say to do and suggestions/recommendations and still can't get this to work. Even the Desktop test refuses to work properly. Only overlay being used is Steam's and have tried even turning off Windows 10 Gamebar to still no avail. Got it on sale and was watching it as it had much promise but currently can't recommend this to anyone. 😢 Edit: Also want to add I'm using it on an NVidia card however it's the older NVidia 970 GTX card so there's no issue with Fast sync and Geforce Experience has never been installed. Edit As Of v1.0.7: Now it seems the program is working. There are still a few games it SHOULD be working with that it doesn't (i.e. 7 Days to Die) etc. However all in all it seems to be displaying the GUI now at least. Will recommend once the remaining issue is fixed.

Works great. It is worth every penny for the frame-rate limiter alone. It is the most resource friendly application/program of this kind I have ever seen by far. Highly recommend to any who would like to find that perfect smooth frame-rate. I played around with adjusting the frame-rate up and down from 1FPS to 60FPS just to see what I could learn about my system...it was interesting ( in a good way) to say the least.

It works great, specially in older games that doesn't have a frame limiter and push 1000fps for no reason, wasting energy. Also, no input lag because of VSYNC. With it on, the frame times are as flat as a mirror. So, no stutters. Just smooth gameplay.

cant use this program with any game that has eac (Easy Anti-Cheat) very sad

Refunding due to the DRM preventing me from using this on non-Steam games with Steam's resource intensive a## closed and also on my other Steam account even with family sharing enabled on the same computer. Now I can't use this on the other games I own on my other profile. In order to protect your profits, you've lost some profits by inconveniencing paying customers. Reevaluate. You also do not mention anywhere in the description that this program may not work with games that use anti-cheat, which is about half or more of modern games and is an important detail misleadingly not included. Do not recommend.

[h1]Best Tool for My Specific Needs[/h1] Having tried many available external FPS limiters up for download, and attempted to use my driver-based FPS limiter, I've found this to be the most ideal tool for my needs. I'm going to list the pros relevant to myself below. - [b]The option to switch between two FPS limits that you define.[/b] I have a 144Hz FreeSync monitor, and prefer running 60FPS in my singleplayer slash non-PVP games, but want it at 138 for PVP gaming. This software lets me switch between them with a single hotkey, which is extremely convenient. - [b]The ability to disable the limiter temporarily.[/b] RivaTuner, much as I like it, doesn't have a complete toggle feature, at least not for Vulkan. Several of the games I play perform better or have issues resolved by using DXVK with them, which nearly every software-based FPS limiter clashes with, including Game Dashboard (I don't consider this a bug with Dashboard, given it affects many other limiters.). Dashboard at least lets me temporarily disable its FPS limit per application bit-size, unlike RivaTuner that I have to forcibly close and unload to run DXVK-assisted games. - [b]It seems more reliable and consistent than my driver-level FPS limiter [i](AMD)[/i].[/b] I had excellent results with NVIDIA's FPS limiter via Inspector, but always had trouble with AMD's FRTC or Chill functioning at all times. They seemed intermittent at best and non-functional at worst. This could be due to me playing borderless fullscreen and alt-tabbing frequently, or due to my repertoire of games being persnickety with the options. Game Dashboard reliably caps every game I throw at it and comes with a second toggleable limit to boot. I bought this software in June 2021 and I guess forgot about it or settled on RivaTuner at the time, but this has quickly become my go-to for two universal speed limits on my PC. The developer is still active but rarely gets worthwhile ideas/suggestions to warrant an update, and I've had no issues with it doing its job so far.

[h1]Game Dashboard Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Meh[/h1] [i]Posted by Kiba Snowpaw, Furry Alpha Male Ice Wolf from HowlStrom[/i] [h2]Introduction[/h2] Greetings, fellow gamers and enthusiasts! As an FPS aficionado with a soft spot for the furry community, I've clocked countless hours into various utilities that promise to enhance our gaming experience. Today, I’m diving deep into Game Dashboard by Disruptive Software, a utility that’s been part of my gaming arsenal for quite some time. Let’s break down what makes this software tick, and where it falls short. [h2]Basic Plot Summary[/h2] Alright, Game Dashboard isn’t a game per se, but more of a utility designed to streamline your gaming experience. It’s an overlay tool that offers framerate and latency control, along with CPU and GPU monitoring. It’s meant for enthusiasts, professionals, and developers who want to tweak their in-game performance on the fly. [h2]Originality[/h2] Game Dashboard brings a blend of practical features that are tailored for gaming and 3D applications. While the concept of an overlay isn’t new, the execution here is quite refined. The framerate limiter with smoothing and power efficiency features is a standout, setting it apart from the generic overlays. [h2]The Studio[/h2] Disruptive Software, the brains behind Game Dashboard, is known for developing practical tools for both gamers and developers. They’ve been around since 2019 and have a track record of focusing on utility software that enhances user experience. Their community-driven development approach ensures that new features are added based on user feedback, which is a big plus. [h2]Analysis/Evaluation[/h2] Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what Game Dashboard offers and where it misses the mark. [h3]Character Development[/h3] Okay, no characters here, but let’s talk features. [b]Main Features:[/b] Advanced framerate limiter, real-time latency control, CPU and GPU status monitoring, custom user notes, and flexible overlay display options. These features are robust and offer significant control over your gaming environment. [b]Supporting Features:[/b] Basic GPU fan control and experimental under/overclocking. These are handy but not as polished. [h3]Structure[/h3] The software is well-structured, allowing users to easily navigate through its features. The overlay is minimalistic yet informative, avoiding unnecessary clutter. [h3]Impact[/h3] Game Dashboard has a moderate impact on enhancing gameplay smoothness and performance monitoring. It’s particularly useful for those who like to push their systems to the limit. [h3]Hook and Thesis[/h3] The hook here is the promise of smoother gameplay and detailed performance monitoring without the bloat. Game Dashboard largely delivers on this promise, although there are some caveats. [h2]Praise and Critique[/h2] [b]Praise:[/b] [list] [*]Effective framerate limiter that helps reduce overheating and unnecessary power consumption. [*]Real-time monitoring of CPU and GPU stats is invaluable for enthusiasts. [*]Lightweight and doesn’t hog system resources. [*]Privacy-focused design, with no internet access required. [/list] [b]Critique:[/b] [list] [*]Compatibility issues with multiplayer games that use aggressive anti-cheat systems. [*]No GUI for OpenGL games, which limits functionality. [*]Latency control not enabled for Vulkan games. [*]Overclocking features are limited and can be tricky to use. [/list] [h2]Personal Opinion[/h2] [b]Enjoyment:[/b] I’ve found Game Dashboard to be a reliable companion for my gaming sessions. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done most of the time. [b]Highlights and Drawbacks:[/b] The framerate limiter and CPU/GPU monitoring are definite highlights. Drawbacks include the occasional compatibility issues and the somewhat limited overclocking features. [h3]Evaluation[/h3] Overall, Game Dashboard is a solid tool that caters well to its target audience. It’s not without its flaws, but the positives outweigh the negatives. [h3]Comparison[/h3] Compared to other utilities like MSI Afterburner or Rivatuner, Game Dashboard offers a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. However, it lacks the depth and advanced features that some of the more established tools provide. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] As a seasoned gamer and furry alpha male from the icy realms of HowlStrom, I can say that Game Dashboard is worth considering if you’re looking for a lightweight, effective overlay tool. It’s especially handy for those who want to keep an eye on their system’s performance without getting bogged down by bloatware. While it has its limitations, the ongoing updates and community-driven development mean it’s always improving. So, give it a whirl, but keep an eye out for those anti-cheat compatibility issues! [strike]Happy gaming, and may your framerates be ever smooth![/strike]

One of the more useful programs out there. The dynamic framerate controll is great (especially during warm summers)!

COOL DOESNT PLAY CNC ZERO HOUR BUT COOL

greatly decreases input delay

this doesnt make me better at video games,but atleast the framerate is nice

actually works

recommend
