An interesting feature that Raptr comes with is the ability to optimize your games to the recommended settings based on your computers hardware this is a similar idea to the Nvidia Geforce Experience where they add games give you the recommended settings and for every game you optimize you actually get Raptr points. This idea is quite interesting just from using the software you are getting more points and your games are optimized.

However, not all games are supported like the Geforce Experience they have to add the games to their system and then figure out the optimal settings for it. The more people playing the game the more likely they are to figure out the optimal settings, so using it is a double win your games are optimized and your getting Raptr points.

The way this is done is fairly simple when you login to your Raptr dashboard on your desktop application you will see your list of games and a little button that hit and it will change the settings of each and every game it can. However, you may need to launch the game and close it in order for Raptr to retrieve all of the settings for that game. Then it can properly optimize it for your enjoyment.

Raptr is making great strives in becoming the only piece of gaming software that you will ever need, with recording, streaming, game optimization, in game chat features, the program is really rising as a star among gamers however it is going to take a long time for the little idea to take off because it is not generating revenue as it stands Raptr seems to be crowd funded and funded through investors the company is not making money with this product there are no real advertisements, there are no sales being transacted, and there is no main revenue stream so it needs to find a way to make money and please the users. This is going to be quite a challenge but if they can score deals with Nvidia for items such as this optimization feature than the company could start to build up revenue. However, as it stands I don’t see the idea taking off until they work out the issue of money.

If you are a true hardcore PC gamer its quite possible you have heard the name Raptr tossed around the table and are curious as to what it is, how it works, and wondering if you should be using it.

Raptr is a community of gamers that share their experience gaming by how many hours and compete to get specific ranks such as Elite, and Hardcore. The Raptr software even works with Steam to collect the hours the games that it should track and monitor the total progress that you have done up to that point.
Raptr does have a point system were when you collect points you can redeem them for a ticket to a drawing Raptr gear or even Titanfall. However, the system has been receiving a lot of hate as Titanfall is 25,000 points to put that in perspective if you got the max points every day you would get the game by the time the next sequel came out.

Raptr comes with a software that allows you to add a lot of additional in-game features such as Facebook Chat, Screen Recording, and much more. You can add items to the program as well to customize it the way you want it to be. The program is tied to your Raptr account and will even count the time for games that are not on Steam. It does this by loading with the game and counting the time that you spend in it making it to were you can show off to all of your friends how “mlg pro you are” or get called a no life either one is an option.

If you haven’t used Raptr before I highly recommend giving it a shot.
