How to set up and use Opera GX gaming mode to limit CPU and RAM resources?

The Opera GX browser is created specifically for gamers and users who need to control system load while running heavy applications or games. The main feature of this version is the GX Control panel, which allows you to set strict limits on the consumption of the computer's hardware resources.

To open the resource management panel, find the GX Control icon in the browser's left sidebar and click on it. You will see a menu open with several key sliders, including RAM and CPU limiters. Enabling these features helps avoid lags and system slowdowns when many tabs are open.

To activate the RAM limit, switch the corresponding toggle to the active position and use the slider to select the maximum amount of RAM the browser can use. The interface provides a hard limit where the browser will not be able to exceed the specified threshold even in case of critical need, which guarantees stable operation of the launched game.

Similarly, the CPU time limit is configured as a percentage. If you are actively streaming, video editing, or gaming, limiting CPU consumption via Opera GX will allow you to distribute computing power more efficiently between background tasks and the main game process.

Additionally, in the GX Control panel, you can enable the Network Limiter feature to restrict incoming and outgoing network traffic speed. This is useful if background file downloads or page refreshes in the browser interfere with a comfortable ping in online games.
