-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

@YankeesPwnMets : If the memrestrict line is not working ... add this line in ur commandline ..

-availablevidmem 1.4

then the line will surely work .

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
