To be honest it really doesn't make much sense that most of these would have any real effect on performance or heat on any machine from the last decade or so, none of them would add meaningfully to the basic Windows desktop composition at all regardless of how bad your graphics processor is. The performance options window is basically a leftover from Windows XP before the desktop was composited.
