After running CPU-Z, AIDA64 Benchmarks, Valley, Heaven, Cinebench r20 to compare against my baseline results I took prior to installing iCUE, I was quite shocked to see a significant difference between the before and after scores. Skill FlareX DDR4-3200-CL14 (16 GB) + Sapphire Nitro+ RX-590 SE. I'm running a Ry+ Aorus X370 Gaming K5 + G. #IS MSI CENTER BLOATWARE PRO#This last weekend I bought a Corsair Harpoon RGB Pro gaming mouse and installed the latest iCUE software WHICH IS THE ONLY RGB or BLOATWARE I HAVE INSTALLED Almost immediately I started to notice its effect on performance. Personally I can confirm your results and even add to it a bit of how Corsair's iCUE caused a NOTICEABLE IMPACT on my rigs performance. ![]() Thanks Steve for touching on this very real issue that is quite literally IGNORED by OEMs when we (the consumer/users) try to bring it to their attention for a solution. Just wondering if exiting would kind of be a workaround, affect FPS less while still letting the set profiles stick, even if the program is no longer running. I just don't know if the fan profiles and overclock and all that stick after exiting, I never really checked: P Sorry, went off on a tangent, so I guess my question to GN is, would setting iCue profiles, then exiting, affect FPS less? And would the profiles you set (lights, headset eq, fans/pump, etc) stick after exiting the program? I'm simple, I set everything to one color (I hate Rainbow Puke, but I don't know how I'd do that without iCue. Probably the game's fault, it is still quite buggy, but for anyone experiencing issues, try exiting your GPU program and then play, it worked for me and a bunch of others. So I just set the profile I want in Precision for my fans and LED, then exit, then play the game. Exit Precision and run the game, no stutter issues (and this is w/ G-Sync monitor on a 2080. With Precision running w/ the game, there are some stuttering issues. Checking on the forums for the game, others are having the same issue, even with Afterburner, etc. Checking in task manager, there are no background tasks associated with RGB Fusion after exiting so I'm assuming that one is fine to just set and exit and you're good, which recently has an issue with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. I also have an EVGA card, so I use Precision X1 (I also have a Aorus Master, but I always exit RGB fusion, and the profile stays set after exiting. Just wondering, could you set everything like lighting and headset eq, etc, then just exit icue? (Oh and I use a H110i Pro, so would exiting icue change my fan and pump profiles (and lighting, or would it stay as is when I exit) Wondering if just exiting the app while gaming would work as well, and if your settings/profiles would stay the way it is after exiting and then the effect would go away. ![]() We chose the 9600K specifically because we knew it'd be a good performer in gaming overall, but that its weaker core/frequency configuration would likely illustrate the software impact more readily. The testing methodology exactly matches our CPU reviews (so check one of those for notes, but switches the GPU to an ASUS Strix 2080 Ti specifically for another RGB LED component, then also uses the 9600K in an MSI ACE Z390 motherboard for the CPU. #IS MSI CENTER BLOATWARE FULL#We decided to benchmark a full suite of bloatware, like RGB and peripherals software, both individually and altogether. Support GN by grabbing a shirt, modmat, toolkit, or similar: #IS MSI CENTER BLOATWARE CODE#Sponsor: Get Linode Cloud Computing - code GNEXUS20 for 20 credit) ![]() ![]() #IS MSI CENTER BLOATWARE PC#Rating: 4.0 Vote: 1 RGB LED software like Corsair iCUE, MSI Dragon Center, and NZXT CAM, among others, creates a lot of bloat on new gaming PC builds. ![]()
