Sound effects, anyone?Īpart from the performance and the GX Corner what else is there to talk about? You can enable sound effects even though I found them to be pretty obnoxious.

You can also limit the amount of CPU & RAM used by the Opera GX gaming browser. You can limit the amount of bandwidth the browser gets which means if you want to play an online multiplayer game whilst your browser is running in the background – you can be Opera GX’s guest.
