⚡ 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.
Tip: use to flip tabs · your last tab is remembered
SETUP PROFILESsave your whole setup

Save your theme + boost choices + toggles as named setups and switch between them anytime. Nothing auto-runs — you set up everything to your liking.

BOOST MANAGERchoose what to close vs keep

Open the chooser to pick exactly which background apps and Windows services Game / Stream / Auto-Boost shut down — and which stay open. Your choices are saved and used by every boost.

TUNING TOOLSlaunch the right utility for your rig

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.)

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:
