Main Settings

The Main Settings slider contains presaved OpenGL configurations. If you would like to have the best image quality, select Quality. If you would prefer to have a very high frame rate with lesser display quality, however, select Performance. You can also modify the Custom Settings zone options individually to configure your board according to your needs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anisotropic Filtering  

Select the anisotropic filtering application mode:

Automatic: enable the Application Preference option to let the application currently running set the appropriate level of anisotropic filtering.

Manual: disable the Application Preference option. You must then set the filtering level (2X, 4X, 8X or 16X) by moving the slider.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SMOOTHVISION(tm)

This option allows you to set anti-aliasing.

Select the application mode:

Automatic: enable the Application Preference option to let the application currently running set the appropriate level of anti-aliasing.

Manual: disable the Application Preference option. You must then set the anti-aliasing level (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 6X) by moving the slider.

You can also set the resolution to be used for anti-aliasing application by clicking on the Quality and Performance buttons. The Quality setting applies anti-aliasing at a high resolution to achieve the best image quality possible, while the Performance setting uses a lower resolution in order to guarantee a fluid display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mipmap Detail Level

This option allows you to define the level of detail during mipmapping operations. Selecting Performance will result in a minimum level of detail, whereas selecting Quality will provide an optimal level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait For Vertical Sync

Vertical synchronization allows you to synchronize a scene's rendering speed with the monitor's vertical scan, in order to avoid the appearance of afterimages or waves.

Select the application mode: Always Off or Application Preference (let the application currently running set the appropriate level).
