D3D9 Helper: Warning: Default value for D3DRS_POINTSIZE_MAX is 2.19902e+012f, not 1.44115e+017f. This is ok. I've had this forever and since it says "This is ok." I have never felt to question it. What exactly is up with this, and is it causing any performance problems?

It means that the device driver for your graphics card has set the D3DRS_POINTSIZE_MAX render state to a value that's different than the default value in the Direct3D specification/documentation. It's a minor bug in the driver.

It won't cause any performance problems, and IIRC if you're not using a PURE device, the D3D runtime will set the state to its correct default so it shouldn't cause any problems at all.

But it is a good illustration of why people often set all render states to a known value when their application starts (advisable if you're using a PURE device).
