I watched a video on how Razer Cortex is a good software to improve performance on games... However Im still a bit skeptical about it
so I've been using RazerCortex for a couple of months and I haven't seen any improvements and I know that there are a lot of people out there who say that it's useless and only slows down the PC, but I wanted to know more with your answers and whether I should keep it or not

Do note: I know nothing about PC's and mine was gifted to me so if I miss something please remind me!!

My (What I think are) specs are:
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4020 CPU @ 1.10GHz 1.10 GHz
Ram: 4.00 GB (3.82 GB usable)
IF it is good for my laptop, what boosts might I see in performance? I usually max around 20 FPS in games. (I'm not specifying which cause I'm scared to)
Any help is appreciated!
I picked up a Nari Essential headset from Best Buy for 35 bucks (reg. $99) and got them today. Setting them up, I ended up installing Razer Synapse 3 and, after reading some reviews about Cortex, slapped that puppy on my machine and HOLY SCHMIDT, what a difference it makes on my system:
Asus Prime H270-Plus
Core i7-7700
32GB DDR4 @ 2400Mhz
Samsung Pro 980 M.2 PCIe 3.0
New XFX 6600XT 8GB
34" 3440 x 1440 @ 144Mhz
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 today and played it before I installed and ran its optimizations on the game and it wasn't terrible the first time. Was doing OK with the games optimization tool. But damn! Once I ran the Cortex optimization on the game, getting 100+ FPS at full resolution. Settings are medium-high.
If you know you know and if you don't, get in on it. Excited to work through my library and see the difference.

Ive been playing modded mc for a while now and have noticed some hate towards game boosters/optimisers on this subreddit, but I have noticed something (at least with my system):
Razer Cortex actually does a very good job of boosting performance by allowing for my game to use more RAM (around 1GB extra RAM to use)
So my question: is Razer Cortex actually any good? Or is something else behind my performance increase?
SPECS:
Type: Laptop
CPU: i3-4005U
GPU: Intel HD 4400
RAM: 4GB DDR3
OS: Windows 7 Pro
From what I could find out it clears out old files Windows files, defragments hard disks, and turns off non key window process during games. Rather or not it will help much I guess depends on how much RAM you have.

Edit: to what you were asking about if its shake oil. the process being turned off would free up some RAM but if you knew what you are doing you could turn them off yourself like the video Alex did on the windows 10 video (although you probably want need to go that extreme)
Probably a stupid question but do you use optifine?
Never used Razer Cortex before, but thought it might help with running games. Anyone else tried using this? It seems to free up LOTS or RAM and feels a bit quicker in general.
I'm testing with it at the moment... Will see if there is anything noticeable.
Razer cortex improve ram and cpu use? In 2025 or it is just snake oil??
I decided to try it out and it straight up crashed the game I was playing instantly and screwed me over. Anyone have good results with this?
With all the gaming laptops I owned so far, there was always an issue of background processes that bothered me. Over years, I tried number of software/apps to tweak and optimize those. And of course, played around a lot with settings and software configuration manually too. But it was kind of a headache having to use the same machine for work and gaming and trying to maintain setup that suit each of those profiles.
Yeah, a rant, I know, but think this might be a common problem. And solution- its available right there with Razer Cortex, a real one-click free solution that immediately helps purge memory of 3+ GB of stuff. And one-click button to restore it all back too! Couldn't have asked for better solution.
