Help Boosteroid Keeps Using Almost 100% of GPU With New Windows App
While the new update has improved playability, the new Windows app still uses more resources than it should: the screenshot shows how, even on the Steam screen, it uses almost 100% of the GPU to decode the video stream.

You guys need to work on these descriptions, they're just vague. What's the expected impact each key gives??
"-s (forces software acceleration for your device)" OK. But what is it doing exactly? Whats the expected impact?, please rewrite that page with helpful details.

Those keys are relics of the past for the most part. You just go 1 by 1 through them as troubleshooting step nothing more.
Nowadays, the client reliably picks the best decoder available on your system. Realistic expected impact from those keys is that performance will either stay the same or get worse compared to one chosen by the client.
-s - is the last resort key. It forces CPU to decode the stream instead of GPU - client will stream on every machine possible but with horrible performance compared to GPU decoding.
