BRUTAL Optimizer 8.3: the official trailer

Real captures of BRUTAL Optimizer 8.3, a free PC optimizer for Windows 11 and Windows 10 gaming: Boost with every step listed before it runs, Guardian and Game mode, Smart Route, Maintain, Protect and Recover files.

Real captures of BRUTAL Optimizer 8.3.0 on our test PC; app names blurred for privacy. Music: original, made for this trailer.

Every Boost step is listed before it runs, and the settings we change have per-module Undo. Smart Route on Ultra engages a relay only when it measurably wins, and stays direct when it can't help.

What's in the trailer

There is no narration: every word is on screen. Here it is as text, with the time each line appears.

  1. 0:01

    You press play.

  2. 0:04

    Windows keeps working.

  3. 0:08

    Your game shares the PC with all of it.

  4. 0:12

    Time to put your game first.

  5. 0:16

    BRUTAL OPTIMIZER The honest PC optimizer for Windows.

  6. 0:20

    Your PC, read live. CPU, GPU, memory and Guardian, the moment you open it.

  7. 0:24

    Boost: see every step before it runs. Balanced, Aggressive or Extreme, sized to your PC's tier.

  8. 0:30

    Per-module Undo, and a receipt. The settings we change have per-module Undo. The receipt reads them back.

  9. 0:34

    Guardian (Pro) works in the background while you play. Background apps step down during your game, then get their priority back.

  10. 0:40

    New in 8.3: your game's own frame rate, on Windows 11. Counted from Windows' graphics events, without opening the game's process.

  11. 0:43

    No game? A dash, never a guess. Minimised or covered, it says why instead of showing a number.

  12. 0:46

    New in 8.3: your game sessions, on the record. Game mode shows what Guardian did in your last game. History keeps each one.

  13. 0:49

    Virtualization, read live. VBS, Memory Integrity, hypervisor, Secure Boot, TPM, plus what four emulator makers say about them.

  14. 0:52

    Smart Route (Ultra) engages only when it measurably wins. One route per session; stays direct when a relay can't help. Measuring is free; engaging a route needs Ultra.

  15. 0:58

    Maintain: updates, cleanup and drive health. Opt-in app updates that wait out your game. SSDs get TRIM, never a defrag.

  16. 1:02

    Protect: one control panel for Microsoft Defender. Scans, Defender hardening and a system integrity audit.

  17. 1:06

    Recover files: deleted files, listed only after their bytes are read. Source read-only. Copies hash-checked.

  18. 1:10

    New in 8.3: Boost keeps your call apps running.

  19. 1:12

    New in 8.3: BRUTAL's own updates wait until your game ends.
