- Basic GPU fan control. Simple under/overclocking (experimental).
Community-Driven Development
New features will be added based on user preferences. If you're interested in specific functionality feel free to send a message detailing your requirements.Privacy and Security
This software doesn't require drivers or administrative privileges to work, and it doesn't write any data to the file system or Windows registry (apart from the optional user-settings file). It doesn't access the internet and can be used with Steam in offline mode.It is adequate for use in secure environments and complies with all data protection regulations, including CCPA, HIPAA, COPPA and the European GDPR.
Current Limitations
- Some multiplayer games with aggressive anti-cheat are currently incompatible. Fixing this is work-in-progress.
- GUI is not available for OpenGL games (framerate control features still work).
- Latency control is not enabled for Vulkan games. May be enabled later, depending on player interest.
- GPU status and overclocking features only available for AMD and NVIDIA cards.
- Some status data may be missing (e.g. old graphics cards don't have a memory temperature sensor).
- Overclocking has some limitations described in the manual (mostly driver-related).
- Native UWP apps not supported (some apps in the Windows Store).
Additional features are available under NDA. Send a message for technical demonstrations.

Best Tool for My Specific Needs
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.
- The option to switch between two FPS limits that you define. 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.
- The ability to disable the limiter temporarily. 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.
- It seems more reliable and consistent than my driver-level FPS limiter (AMD). 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.

Game Dashboard Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Meh
Posted by Kiba Snowpaw, Furry Alpha Male Ice Wolf from HowlStrom
Introduction
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.
Basic Plot Summary
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.
Originality
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.
The Studio
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.
Analysis/Evaluation
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what Game Dashboard offers and where it misses the mark.
Character Development
Okay, no characters here, but let’s talk features.
Main Features: 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.
Supporting Features: Basic GPU fan control and experimental under/overclocking. These are handy but not as polished.
Structure
The software is well-structured, allowing users to easily navigate through its features. The overlay is minimalistic yet informative, avoiding unnecessary clutter.
Impact
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.
Hook and Thesis
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.
Praise and Critique
Praise:
- 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.
Critique:
- 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.
Personal Opinion
Enjoyment: 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.
Highlights and Drawbacks: The framerate limiter and CPU/GPU monitoring are definite highlights. Drawbacks include the occasional compatibility issues and the somewhat limited overclocking features.
Evaluation
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.
Comparison
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.
Conclusion
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!
