It's written in C / Win32 API so it's extremely lightweight and will use minimal resources running in the background. It will work continuously until a shutdown / reboot. exe file and the program will be running. GameBoostHD has no installer or user interface. For example, after running GameBoostHD, the launcher will never be allowed to "steal" CPU attention from Overwatch, but if there is spare CPU power it is still allowed to use it. Using GameBoostHD won't reduce the CPU usage percent - it only alters the scheduling priority.
The idea behind this came about when I was playing Overwatch and noticed the launcher was using up to 12% of my CPU due to the animated GIFs and javascript and whatever else it was running. This will hopefully improve performance of the game (increased FPS and fewer stutters) as it won't be competing for timeslices with other processes. The system power profile will also be set to "High Performance" while a game is running. This includes things like game launchers (Battle.Net, Steam, etc) and web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE).
When a game is detected, GameBoostHD will lower the priority of common background apps that often use CPU. GameBoostHD is a tiny application that will watch for various game launches. Dynamically adjust process priority of background applications to maximize game performance About
