[...] you know removing something from launch options doesn't do anything really, right? it is not gonna restore to different value, it's gonna remain on dx level 8.1 but not crash for some reason.

This thread isn't about GTX200 only. I have the same issue described in that thread with my 8800 GT, under Windows.

Yeah, 30% should be enough for a CPU limited game, who cares about fps drops or getting higher fps. You just don't have any idea what you are doing, but carry on. I mean it can't be driver problems with the gtx200 series, that shit runs flawless.

[...] What are the disadvantages of using it? And why does it work in the first place? We didn't get any sources, so using that launch option could be risky.

In the first place, I thought it will cause more crash problems. This is not the case. It shouldn't be risky (imo), since threads just say something about the scheduling behaviour of the windows kernel about a software and how those will be send to the CPU. Things can happen are : • Too big packages in one thread : Cpu cache overflow • Too small packages in one thread : Performance loss Correct me if I am wrong please, or if you see other problems =) Why it solved ? No idea.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=28212&post=488775 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:29:42 +0100 Reply by Xacher https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-28212/page-2/?recent=488916#post=488774 Quoted from Jesse James

You just say that the working solution is shit and shouldn't used. But you just don't send other solution ideas.
