Nvidia Control Panel (Threaded Optimization)

[Matthew-san]

I have an 8-core AMD CPU and I was wondering if I will see any performance increase if I enable 'Threaded Optimization' in the Nvidia Control Panel?

It should be on AUTO not OFF.

If it is on off then switch it to auto, since that will make games use more than one core on your cpu so you will get a performance increase.

Actually, many tests and reviews (my own tests too) it has come to me that not only does Threaded Optimization improve little to no performance but changing it to "Auto" would in fact bring in lag and jumpy frame-rates due to the power of the CPU changing during gameplay. Many people would to keep it "Off" as it allows not high frame-rate but rather SMOOTHER frame-rate. It's much easier on your eyes to have 40-45fps then to jump up and down from 30 to 60. I'm currently looking into why it was made at all and so far all I have right now is "If you have a high-end CPU, it 'may' improve performance."

Huh, I did not know that, thanks!
