Armoury Control

Laptops often come with specific feature sets that can be configured through software provided by the manufacturer. ASUS laptops are no exception, with the gaming-focused ROG and TUF series being especially relevant for this discussion. Seeking to provide an alternative to the official Armoury Crate software provided by ASU, Armoury Control is an open source, third-party solution that can help users manage their ROG/TUF machines effectively.

Aside from providing hardware monitoring data, such as CPU and GPU fan speed and usage, the program also enables users to configure the power state of their device. As such, it's possible to choose a preferred graphics performance mode for your machine, which may help you deal with certain games and workflows better.

Several performance modes are available: Silent, Performance, and Turbo. If you're feeling up to it, you can also create and configure your own mode. Efficiency-wise, you also have the option to lower your device's brightness, as well as set a charge limit for when it is plugged in.

The software additionally offers display control functionalities. Depending on your ASUS laptop, you may be able to opt for a higher refresh rate, or leave everything on Auto.
