Nearly all gaming laptops come with bundled first-party software, and most of it isn’t all that good. They tend to be poorly designed and riddled with bloatware and features that you’ll never need. Armoury Crate is Asus’ version of that, and while it isn’t terrible, it suffers from many of those same problems.
Related What is G-helper? A developer who goes by the name Seerge on Github has come up with G-helper, a simple and lightweight alternative to Armoury Crate, that lets you take complete control of your Asus laptop. It offers all the functionality without putting any extra load or running multiple services on your machine.
Display control options include the ability to switch screen refresh rates and enable or disable overdrive settings for optimal visual performance. You also get access to screen color profiles, as well as the ability to adjust the color temperature, display scenarios, and flicker-free dimming that helps prevent eye strain, fatigue, and irritation.
Perhaps most importantly, after uninstalling Armoury Crate and using only G-helper, all of those seemingly unnecessary background tasks are gone. That was enough to win me over. How to get G-helper? You can download G-helper by heading over to the official GitHub page. Once it is downloaded, extract the file and run the program. The best part about G-helper is that it doesn’t need any installation and can run directly using a single EXE file.
