Gaming Evolved is a comprehensive video game client that lets you download and play your favorite titles with friends and strangers. It is an excellent alternative to Steam and other similar programs that rely on Nvidia technology. This program has an enormous community, and you can play practically any title imaginable with gamers from around the world. Here is a quick look at some of the pros and cons of this software.

One of the biggest drawbacks of most gaming clients is the fact that they often bog down older systems. Many of them collect and upload huge amounts of data, and that can negatively impact your FPS and overall experience. Gaming Evolved, on the other hand, was designed to be as lightweight as possible. It uses minimal resources, and you can choose what type of data is collected. It works with almost all AMD processors, and some of the games that can be played on this platform don’t require a GPU.

When you first install Gaming Evolved, the program will ask to search your system for any titles that are already on your hard drive. It will then populate your home screen with those titles and any accompanying information that is needed. On each individual game’s page, you can alter settings, upload mods, delete old saves, or copy files. You can also search for other users who are playing the same game or similar titles.

For those who enjoy the social aspect of gaming, this program has a comprehensive messaging tool. Much like Steam, you can send written messages to anyone on your contact list. While playing a game, you have the option of creating a voice chatroom as well. Gaming Evolved has all of the features that players have come to expect in their messaging apps including filters, one-click blocking, away messages, and custom groups.

If you would like to stream your gameplay to Twitch or another similar platform, then Gaming Evolved might be perfect for you. This software has a long list of features that make live streams easier than ever. The recording option will use some of your system’s resources, but it shouldn’t impact your gameplay as long as your hardware is relatively new. You can customize your live stream by altering the sound effects, scheduling a delay, or adding custom graphics to the overlay.

Gaming Evolved is a good piece of software for anyone who has an AMD processor. This program has all of the features that you would ever want in a gaming client, but it isn’t going to slow your system down. AMD is no longer supporting this client, but the thriving community regularly releases its own patches and updates.
