Default Settings Enable 8-Bit double-buffered Overlay Planes Use 8 bits of each 32-bit frame buffer pixel as double-buffered overlay planes. Force copy swap Force blit copy during double-buffer swap from back to front buffer. Wait for vertical retrace Buffer swap 'synched' to the refresh rate of the monitor. Enabling will lower the frame rate but reduce visual artifacts such as tearing. Disabling allows your application to run at the 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. Enable OpenGL Hardware acceleration Always enable this setting for hardware acceleration of your OpenGL application. Disable this setting only if you experience serious rendering problems. Disabling this setting significantly reduces the OpenGL performance. Click the Apply or OK button to enable your Configuration settings.

Using Your FireGL Card
If you add or modify a configuration profile, select or clear the
checkboxes in the
Settings
section according to your
requirements.
Default Settings
Enable 8-Bit double-buffered Overlay Planes
Use 8 bits of each 32-bit frame buffer pixel as double-buffered
overlay planes.
Force copy swap
Force blit copy during double-buffer swap from back to front
buffer.
Wait for vertical retrace
Buffer swap ’synched’ to the refresh rate of the monitor.
Enabling will lower the frame rate but reduce visual artifacts
such as tearing. Disabling allows your application to run at the
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.
Enable OpenGL Hardware acceleration
Always enable this setting for hardware acceleration of your
OpenGL application. Disable this setting only if you experience
serious rendering problems. Disabling this setting significantly
reduces the OpenGL performance.
Click the
Apply
or
OK
button to enable your
Configuration
settings.
