Configuring Key ForceWare Graphics Driver Features
Off
disables anisotropic mip filter optimization for best image quality.
Anisotropic Sample Optimization
This option enables a variety of sample-related optimizations on all but the primary
texture stage, thus improving performance but with a small impact on image quality.
1
Make sure the
View advanced settings
option is selected from the View list.
2
Select Anisotropic sample optimization from the Global driver settings list. The
available slider settings are On and Off.
On
enables the use of anisotropic sample optimization for better performance.
Off
disables the use of anisotropic sample optimization for best image quality.
Gamma Correct Antialiasing
Note:
This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs, such as the GeForce 7800
GTX.
On
enables gamma correct antialiasing, which results in a better color calculation
to help reduce jaggies and maintain the highest level of color reproduction of 3D
images.
Off
disables gamma correct antialiasing.
Transparency Antialiasing
Note:
This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs, such as the GeForce 7800
GTX.
Transparency antialiasing, an advanced feature, is a technique used to minimize the
visible aliasing on the edges of images with transparent textures. This improvement
in 3D image quality is most noticeable in objects such as vegetation, chain-link fences,
and similar objects.
To enable this feature, use the
Multisampling
setting for superior application
performance or the
Supersampling
setting for superior image quality.
