"Specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds."

 

For intense GPU activity, sometimes a driver crash can be prevented by increasing this number.

 

Edit: For normal game or 3D display the GPU is essentially interrupted 60 times per second so it will only go unresponsive in a way that pertains to this setting for other types of processing, such as offline rendering, and general compute via OpenCL, CUDA, etc.
