What is it?

G-Helper is a small Windows app for Asus laptops, including ROG, TUF, Zenbook, Vivobook, ProArt and ROG Ally models. It provides most of the functionality of Asus's Armoury Crate while running as a single executable that installs nothing into the system.

The app lets you switch between the manufacturer's built-in Silent, Balanced and Turbo performance modes and the Eco, Standard, Ultimate and Optimized GPU modes. Each performance mode can be given custom power limits and fan curves, and NVIDIA GPU clock offsets and AMD CPU undervolting are available. It also covers battery charge limits, screen refresh rate, keyboard and Anime Matrix or Slash lighting, hotkeys, and monitoring of temperatures, fan speeds and battery status.

Automation rules switch performance modes and refresh rates based on whether the laptop is on battery or plugged in. A built-in in-game overlay shows FPS, CPU and GPU metrics, and the app can check for official BIOS and driver updates for the specific model. Asus mice, keyboards and headsets are supported on a per-model basis.
