Cons

2. Software Bloat: Some users report that Razer Cortex comes with additional bundled software or features that are not essential, leading to unwanted bloat on their system.
3. Ineffectiveness: The actual performance boost provided by Razer Cortex can be negligible for modern gaming PCs that are already optimized, reducing the software's usefulness for some users.
