The case of GOS (Games Optimization Service), or the story of device performance throttling, has caused quite a stir around the world. Artificially slowing down the performance of the CPU and GPU of the series phones Galaxy More than 10 applications and games were affected. But after a wave of outrage, Samsung released an update that allows you to turn off GOS. It's just a matter of whether you really want it.
The update to disable GOS is already part of One UI 4.1. But the key thing to keep in mind is that modern chips still have safety systems that limit their performance when pushed to their safety temperature limit. However, it is something that some mobile games can achieve quite easily, if they are not ideally managed.

Therefore, keep in mind that when you disable the Games Optimization Service, your phone's CPU Galaxy it will generate significantly more heat, while the performance will still decrease anyway. So the difference here is mainly that GOS achieved the slowdown with different and somewhat more aggressive metrics than the chip does, and that's why many didn't like it. GOS also monitors the battery life and overall energy efficiency of the device, so you can limit this too by turning off the feature.

The bottom line is that if you disable GOS, you are still not guaranteed the best performance of your device in the long run. In the short term (several minutes) you may notice higher performance, but as soon as the inside of the phone starts to heat up, the chip will start to throttle the performance anyway. In the final, the whole case can look unnecessarily inflated, and the reaction, perhaps Geekbench even excessively so.
How to turn off GOS on phones Galaxy
- Run the application Game Launcher.
- At the bottom right, select the three line icon with a description Další.
- Select a menu here Game Booster.
- In the settings shown go all the way down.
- Click on the menu here Labs.
- Activate with the switch Alternative game performance management.
It is also worth adding that this is an experimental function, which means that Samsung is somewhat protecting itself with regard to what functionality it actually has. As you can see, it also warns about the possibility of overheating. Anyway, since the feature is experimental, you can also experiment with it. This means you can play the same game with the feature on and off and see how the game not only runs smoothly, but also the device in terms of heat and battery life.
