Apex Legends Nvidia Reflex On vs Reflex On + Boosted Difference

I'm an Apex Legends PC gamer. What is the difference between Nvidia Reflex On and Reflex On + Boosted?

My PC Informations: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/42613635

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro (10.0.19042.964)
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K
  • Graphic Card: Nvidia RTX 2060
  • RAM: DDR4 3200 2OZ 2x16GB
  • Storage: NVMe PCIe M.2 512GB
  • Monitor: Asus VG248QE (144 Hz)

My game settings are all at the highest and my FPS in the game is 144. Can someone who is knowledgeable about the subject give an answer?

    We’re constantly updating and improving our tech through the launch of new Game Ready Drivers, new software development kits, and other advancements. Today it’s NVIDIA Reflex’s turn to be enhanced, with the release of a new enhancement for “Boost Mode”.

    Each NVIDIA Reflex game includes “On” and “Boost Mode”, which players can opt to enable. Boost Mode increases GPU clock speeds in CPU-bound scenarios, allowing the GPU to submit frames to the display faster, thereby improving Reflex’s effectiveness.

    With a new NVIDIA Reflex SDK update, Boost Mode further reduces system latency in certain CPU-bound scenarios where the render submission thread is the limiting factor. These types of CPU bound scenarios can occur when there are many objects to render on the screen at once.

    Boost optimization is now available in Fortnite, and gamers in these CPU bound situations can see up to a 16% latency reduction. Valorant’s Boost optimization will be coming in a future patch. Based on pre-release testing, gamers could see up to a 15% lower latency in these CPU-bound scenarios:
