[. . . ] As the user moves closer to a 3D object the image quality should increase, requiring a higher quality texture of the same image. The base mipmap is the highest quality texture, and all subsequent mipmaps are smaller sized English - 17 - Software Installation English textures of the same image. Moving the slider to the right selects a higher quality base mipmap, delivering the highest quality application experience. Moving the slider to the left selects a lower quality mipmap, delivering the highest application performance. Wait for Vertical Sync This will lower the frame rate of full screen games but reduce the image tearing that can occur with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application Preference allows the application to decide whether or not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the monitor. Selecting Always Off allows the application to run at its highest possible frame rate, regardless of the monitor's refresh rate which is typically less than the frame rate at which the application will run. Compatibility Settings button This button allows you to access advanced settings that can solve compatibility issues for a few specific OpenGL applications. Force Z-buffer depth allows you to explicitly set the Z-Buffer depth. Most applications will work best when Disabled is selected. Support KTX buffer region extension Enabling this feature allows rapid updates of those portions of your screen that have changed. Note that most applications will not be affected by activating this feature. Defaults button allows you to reset the OpenGL Compatibility Settings to default values. Defaults button This button allows you to reset the OpenGL Settings to default values. R9700 PRO Graphics Accelerator - 18 - Direct 3D Properties: The Direct 3D properties page allows you to adjust the Direct 3D settings. Main Settings slider Moving the slider to the left will maximize application performance, while moving the slider to the right will provide excellent 3D image quality. Moving this slider from one position to the next changes the individual Custom Settings sliders found below. Custom Settings checkbox When Custom Settings is checked, the Main Settings slider is disabled, allowing you to move each individual slider in the Custom Settings section below. Setting the individual sliders gives you complete control over your application experience. Using Custom Settings is recommended for advanced users only. SMOOTHVISION II Anti-Aliasing checkbox improves image quality by removing jagged edges from 3D images, resulting in smoother, more naturallooking objects. Selecting Application Preference will result in high quality images, with negligible reduction in the application's performance. Anti-Aliasing slider can be applied using different sample patterns and sample points such as 2X, 4X, or 6X. Moving this slider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D image.
