YankeesPwnMets Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 -memrestrict 699145600 Memrestrict values depend on how much video RAM users have on their graphics card. This value won't work for all users. -dx10/high Doesn't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I with dual cards I gotten most games to run around 40 fps or more using 3x 1920 x 1080 monitors at once on max settings with 16x AF and for games that support it, 4x or 8x AA. I don't need any performance tweaks. The formula for memrestrict is video ram on your card * 1024 * 1024 Even though most cards have either 256, 512, or 1024 mb ram, nvidia is pretty well known for releasing cards with random amounts of VRAM like 896 mb on the Gtx 260, 1792 mb on the Gtx 295, 3gb for the 590, etc. Better if those users use the formula above then to use a value given to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
