⚡ BOOST THIS DECK
One click → frees RAM + arms Performance / Game Mode / Latency. Then close background hogs below.
Performance Mode
Switches Windows to the High Performance power plan. Restores your previous plan when off.
Game Mode
Windows Game Mode — prioritizes the foreground game and holds back background interruptions. Reversible, no admin needed.
Latency Mode
Raises the system timer to 1 ms and turns off mouse acceleration for steadier aim. Reversible — restored when you switch it off or close OVERVOLT. Note: it changes desktop mouse feel too.
Auto-Boost
Background watcher — detects your profile games launching and applies that profile automatically, reverting when the game closes. Minimize OVERVOLT (don't close it) to keep this running while you play.
Auto-Close Background
When Auto-Boost fires on a game launch, force-close browsers and every background app draining RAM / CPU / GPU. Your foreground game & OVERVOLT are spared. Turn this off (or hit Restore in Overdrive) to reopen everything that was closed — and they auto-reopen when the game exits.

ULTRAWIDE—
YOUR DECKper-game ultrawide fix
Stretched? 1) Native res + Fullscreen in-game. 2) Still stretched, or no ultrawide option? Set GPU scaling to "aspect ratio" so non-native images get black bars instead of distortion:
WHICH PROBLEM?no game-folder mods
Looks stretchedGame is 16:9 stretched to fill. Fix: native res + the GPU "aspect ratio" scaling above. No mod.
Black bars L/RIt's running 16:9 letterboxed — that's correct, it just has no ultrawide support. No mod changes the render.
Zoomed / croppedA 16:9 image stretched vertically. Raise FOV in-game; no FOV slider means it needs a patch.
Hard-locked 16:9True ultrawide needs an injector — no app does it universally. Use a GLOBAL injector below (nothing goes in the game folder).
Special K — global injector; fixes aspect/HUD on many games with NO files in the game folder. Arm it → launch your game → it auto-stops:

PRO TIPSultrawide
OVERVOLT OVERDRIVEone-tap system boost
Game Mode frees RAM, arms Performance + Game + Latency, and force-closes every background app in your session — browsers, launchers, chat, office, wallpaper apps and more. Your foreground app + OVERVOLT stay open. Stream Mode does the same but keeps OBS, Discord, browsers & audio alive. ⚠ Save your work first — closed apps can be reopened.
CPU POWERdriverless — works on any rig
No driver, no antivirus fight — drives Windows' own power management. Cool & Quiet caps boost to kill thermal throttling (often fixes CPU-bound lag on hot laptops); Performance maxes clocks. Needs admin.

OVERVOLT detects the best specialist tuners and launches them — or gets them for you. Matched to your hardware is highlighted. (These are separate apps; OVERVOLT orchestrates rather than embeds them.)

Reading your rig…
GPU ROUTINGforce games onto the discrete GPU
On a hybrid laptop, games often default to the integrated GPU while your RTX sits idle — that's your lag. Pinning a game to the RTX is the single biggest FPS win. Applies on the game's next launch.
System tweaks won't add FPS if a game is CPU-bound or on the wrong GPU — fix routing first, then DLSS + Reflex (Tune tab) buy you higher graphics at the same FPS. Closing your second antivirus frees the CPU that's choking you.
CONTROLLERDualSense × DSX sync
OVERVOLT drives DSX over its local API (UDP 6969). Needs DSX running with its UDP/API enabled and your DualSense connected through DSX.
ADAPTIVE TRIGGERStap a feel / weapon preset
Presets use the legacy DSX trigger modes (what most game mods use). On DSX v3 (Steam) enable the API in DSX settings; if a preset feels off, tell me which and I'll retune the numbers. Button bindings/macros still live inside DSX itself.
AIM & INPUTBasilisk V3 tuning
System-side latency cut — OVERVOLT does this part (1 ms timer + Windows mouse acceleration OFF for consistent aim):
BASILISK V3accurate-aim + zero-drift config
Bindings, macros & Chroma profiles live inside Razer Synapse — Razer exposes no public API, so OVERVOLT (or any app) can't set those for you. Use the Synapse button above. Chroma RGB does have an SDK — ask me to add temp-reactive lighting as its own feature.

Background appswhat's using your RAM
Heavy background apps steal RAM and CPU from games. Scan, then close what you don't need — the app won't close anything for you.
Latencyinput & frame lag
Flip Latency Mode above for the parts OVERVOLT controls itself (1 ms timer + mouse-accel off). The biggest input-lag wins below are in-game / driver settings — no tool can flip them for you, so here's exactly what to set:
Displayrefresh rate
Windows sometimes leaves a high-refresh monitor at 60 Hz. Higher refresh = more frames shown and lower latency. Pick a rate — reversible, just pick a lower one to undo:
RTX FEATURESdetecting your GPU…
One tap sets the optimal combo for your exact RTX model and opens the NVIDIA tool that applies it. Ray Tracing & Path Tracing are tuned to run in tangent with upscaling + frame generation so they stay playable.
Graphics Tunerupscaling · reflex · RT / PT — tuned to your card
Set your target with the controls — OVERVOLT computes the exact settings and where to apply each one, gated to what your GPU actually supports. It can't flip these inside a running game (no safe tool can), so it builds the plan and opens the NVIDIA tools that can. The system-side part it applies itself.

DLSS & Reflextuned to your card
OVERVOLT can't flip DLSS or Reflex inside a game — they live in each game's menu and no tool changes them universally. But DLSS is the biggest free FPS lever you have and Reflex is the biggest input-lag cut, so here's the exact setup for your hardware, plus shortcuts to the NVIDIA tools that can force-upgrade DLSS:
Driver UpdatesNVIDIA · AMD · Intel
GPU drivers are the #1 cause of crashes and stutter. OVERVOLT detects your hardware + current version and opens the official vendor tool that updates safely — it won't auto-download and run installers itself (a wrong-driver pick causes black screens, and auto-fetch-and-run is how driver-updater malware behaves). For crashes, a clean reinstall with DDU is the real fix:
Clean Driver Installthe real fix for driver-caused crashes
A clean reinstall removes every trace of the old or corrupted driver before installing fresh — the highest-odds fix for mid-game crashes. OVERVOLT lays out the safe order and opens the tools, but the actual removal happens in Safe Mode via DDU. An app must never strip a live driver from a running desktop — that's how you end up at a black screen, so this stays a guided workflow:
GPU Driver TuningNVIDIA Control Panel / AMD Adrenalin
OVERVOLT can't write into your driver software — those tools own the driver profile, and an outside app fighting them for control just causes conflicts (and overclock/voltage is off-limits regardless). Instead, here's the exact driver config for your GPU, with one-tap shortcuts to open the right tool and set it yourself:
On Profile Inspector: it force-sets hidden, unsupported driver flags — useful for experts but a real source of crashes, visual glitches, and anti-cheat flags. OVERVOLT deliberately won't drive it. If you use it, do so manually and carefully.
Modded Gamestuned to your RAM & VRAM
There's no separate "mod booster" — system optimization is the same for modded and vanilla, and OVERVOLT already does that part (Performance / Latency mode, per-game priority, freeing RAM). Modded games just hit those limits harder, and the real wins are modding-specific config that lives in your launcher and mod manager. Here's that config, scaled to your hardware:
OVERVOLT can't edit your mods, load order, or launcher args for you — those are too varied to touch safely. This is guidance; apply it in the relevant tool.
Crash Triagestop the random mod crashes
Random crashes that get worse with more mods are conflict + memory-limit problems — no tool, plugin, or integration makes thousands of mods stable. The fix is reading the crash log to find the culprit, a clean load order, and fewer, conflict-resolved mods. OVERVOLT routes you to the tools that actually do this:
Per-game presets. The settings list is tuned to your detected hardware — apply it inside the game's own menu.
The app can't change another game's graphics for you — no program can do that universally. What it does: tell you the right settings for your card, save them per game, and handle the system-level Performance Mode + process priority itself.
