1 Here is an explanation of some common launch options for Steam games: -high: This launch option sets the game's priority to high. By default, games run at normal or low priority. Setting it to high priority can help address stuttering or performance issues by ensuring the game gets more CPU time over other running processes. -novid: This disables any intro or startup videos that may play when launching the game. Some games have long unskippable intro videos that can delay getting into the actual game. -novid skips straight past those. -nojoy: This disables joystick/gamepad/controller support. Some games may have controller related issues or bugs. Using -nojoy ensures the game only relies on keyboard/mouse input which can help isolate input related problems. So in summary: -high = sets game priority to high for better performance -novid = skips intro/startup videos -nojoy = disables gamepad/controller support to only use keyboard/mouse These are some common single player launch options that can help address performance, usability or debugging types of issues by modifying how the game launches and behaves. Multiple options can also be combined like "-high -novid" "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations" is in Windows 10 and why you may want to disable it: • In Windows 10, Microsoft added a new feature called "Fullscreen Optimizations" which is enabled by default for all games and applications. • This feature is meant to improve performance and compatibility for fullscreen applications. However, it can sometimes cause issues with older games. • Fullscreen Optimizations work by effectively running fullscreen games inside a borderless window instead of true fullscreen. This allows Windows to manage resources better. • However, some older games expect to have exclusive access to the graphics card when in true fullscreen mode. Running them in a borderless window can break compatibility. • Common issues caused by Fullscreen Optimizations include stuttering, lag, crashing, graphical glitches and poor performance. • To disable it, right click the game executable, go to properties, compatibility tab and check the box for "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations". • This overrides Windows' setting and forces the game to run in true exclusive fullscreen instead of a borderless window.
2 • Disabling it may fix issues for older titles that don't play nicely with Windows 10's optimizations. It ensures the game has exclusive GPU access again. So in summary, disabling Fullscreen Optimizations forces older games to run in true fullscreen mode instead of a borderless window, which can help address compatibility problems introduced by Windows 10 Here's an explanation of what the "High DPI scaling override" option does in Windows: • High DPI refers to high dots per inch displays, which have a higher pixel density than traditional displays. This includes screens with resolutions above 1080p. • By default, Windows handles scaling and displaying UI elements appropriately for high DPI screens so everything looks crisp and sharp. • However, for some older apps and games that were not designed with high DPI in mind, their icons, text and interfaces may appear blurry or stretched out. • The "High DPI scaling override" option allows you to override the default Windows scaling behavior and control how an app is handled at a per-app level. • When you enable the override and set it to "Application" instead of "System", it tells Windows to not scale that particular app and render it at its native resolution instead. • This can help fix blurry or stretched graphics in older apps/games, making the UI and text look sharper again since there's no automatic scaling applied. • However, elements may appear very small since they are not being scaled up to fit the high DPI screen like the rest of Windows. So in summary, the High DPI scaling override makes an app ignore the default Windows scaling settings to address blurry/stretched appearance on high resolution screens. Here's an explanation of what Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling is in Windows 10: • By default, the CPU schedules and manages all tasks for both the CPU and GPU. This includes things like drawing frames, running shaders, etc. • With hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling enabled, the GPU is given more control over scheduling its own workload directly. This allows for more efficient workload distribution between the CPU and GPU. • With the GPU taking over more of its own scheduling duties, the CPU is freed up to focus on other tasks. This can reduce latency and improve performance for graphics-intensive tasks. • Enabling this feature offloads some scheduling work from the CPU to the GPU's hardware scheduler. This utilizes the hardware resources more efficiently for better performance.
3 • Games and 3D applications tend to benefit the most as their graphics processing is better prioritized with lower latency. • It requires a modern GPU with compatible driver support. It's supported on NVIDIA 1000 series or newer, and AMD 500 series or newer. • Enabling it can improve frame rates, reduce stuttering and generally enhance gaming performance on capable systems. So in summary, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling allows the GPU to schedule more of its own workload directly, reducing CPU workload and latency for improved graphics performance. Here's an explanation of what the "High Performance" power plan in Windows does: • Windows allows you to choose different power plans that balance performance and energy efficiency differently. • The main power plans are Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance. • Balanced is the default and attempts to balance performance and battery life. • Power Saver prioritizes extending battery life over performance. It dims displays, slows processor speeds, etc. • High Performance is the opposite - it prioritizes maximum system performance over energy efficiency. • When using the High Performance plan, the processor will run at its maximum clock speeds at all times for best performance. • Graphics performance is also increased since the GPU will run at full speeds. • However, this comes at the cost of much higher power consumption and reduced battery life when unplugged. • It's best suited for times when you want absolute best gaming/productivity performance regardless of power usage. So in summary, the High Performance power plan delivers the highest possible system and graphics performance by keeping components running at max speeds at all times, at the expense of significantly higher power usage. Here's an explanation of what turning background apps on or off in Windows does: • In Windows, apps and services can run in the background even when they are not actively in use. This includes things like messenger apps, antivirus scanners, download managers etc.
4 • Background apps consume some system resources like CPU, RAM and battery power even when you aren't actively using them. They run tasks and processes periodically. • Turning off background apps limits these apps/services from running in the background and suspends their background processes. • This frees up memory and CPU resources, improving performance and battery life since less apps are continuously running. • However, turning off background apps also means things like automatic updates won't run, fetching new messages/notifications may be delayed, scanning/protection is limited. • It only prevents resource usage while the apps are in the background. Foreground activities like using the app directly are not affected. • Background activity can be re-enabled anytime by changing the background apps setting back to on. So in summary, turning off background apps suspends their periodic background processes to improve performance and battery life when extra system resources are needed. Here's an explanation of the Xbox Game Bar in Windows and what turning it on or off does: • The Xbox Game Bar is a utility that can be accessed via the Windows key + G combo while playing games. • It provides overlay features like capturing screenshots/gameplay, monitoring performance, checking achievements etc. directly within games. • When the Game Bar is on, it runs in the background even when not actively in use so it can be quickly accessed during games. • However, it does utilize a small amount of CPU and RAM resources when running in the background. • Turning it off suspends the Game Bar service, freeing up these system resources for games to have full priority over them. • This can improve gaming performance very slightly for resources intensive games. • Screen recording, sharing, performance monitoring etc. features will no longer work if the Game Bar is disabled. • It can be turned back on anytime without issues and your screenshots/videos will be accessible as normal. So in summary, disabling the Xbox Game Bar suspends its background processes for a tiny potential performance boost in games, at the cost of losing quick access to its in-game features.
