Hi prsyahmi Thx again for a really great n useful app! :)

I note that one can no longer specify format parameters as one could. This is important for 2 reasons:

Everyone: Setting the CPU priority of GPU-RD to 'Above Normal' increases the large sequential speeds by around 20MB/s on a cheap Geforce 210 card. Probably more on better cards.

Using MSI Utility v3 to tweak (Message Signaled) Interrupts and priority for the GPU will increase the all important, to Windows, Random 4K numbers. It will also increase FPS in games. https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/windows-line-based-vs-message-signaled-based-interrupts-msi-tool.378044/

eBoostr, a disk caching app that works with Win 10 and is free (trial) for 2 hours after each boot works well with GPU-RD. NB that it auto builds the cache every hour unless you do so manually, so don't think it's crap after 5 minutes..! NB that you can also specify which apps/games to accelerate and files/directories to exclude. https://www.eboostr.com/

Thx again. :)
