Great, bloatware for an already resource hog app.


which AMD app does this remind you of?
Cortex is an optional modular extension to Synapse. You don't need to install it.

Loading your apps with bloat, definitely a great strategy. What a bunch of idiots.

Razer products are quite good, my Viper V2 Pro has been great over the past couple years, but this has me looking elsewhere for future upgrades.

this is known as bloatware.
Something that is not preinstalled that you can choose to install at a later date through selecting the option is bloatware?

OK.

Not how I understood the definition.
