What it does
Registry value that turns off a display compositing feature.
The honest verdict
Graded real. A legitimate FIX for a real flicker/stutter bug on some multi-monitor/VRR setups — but ONLY if you have the symptom. Cargo-culting it on a healthy system does nothing. …
Where it genuinely fits a rig, Compy can recommend it — applied with a snapshot first and a one-click rollback after, like every change it makes.
The full graded entry
The rest of this write-up — the specifics behind the grade — ships inside the app. The Blackbook publishes its verdicts here — the full write-ups stay in the book, on your rig, next to your own measurements.
The Compy Blackbook holds 191 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
