- Does skip the launcher and just starts the game, so does not start a benchmark or changes any settings as the name of the command line argument might suggest.... other than the note below as it forces one renderer.

that literally says this in a comment at the top of the file: "###### Preference of D3D12 or Vulkan - used when bypassing the launcher (e.g. via -benchmark commandline). ###### ###### 0 = Vulkan, 1 = D3D12 ###### "
