OpenGL Threaded Optimizations Responsible For NVIDIA's Faster Performance?

[tuke81]

He asked how to enable it from the steam client, which consist on right-clicking on the game, click on set launch options, paste the launch options, click ok.
I don't see how is it easier making a profile...

Fair enough.

It's quite easy and straight forward with application profiles too: make one profile for __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS and then add executables to use that profile.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the correct command should be: LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD} libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%
But the thing is it can make performance worse in some games.

Where did you get that from? The nVidia docs don't mention any other export needed

Steam forums.

And here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ded_opts&num=1

So i guess nvidia docs actually mention that.
