Appendix C
NVIDIA ForceWare Graphics Display Driver — Feature History
DirectX
Improved driver stability and performance, including the following areas:
•
UMA support
•
2D operations
•
SLI
NVIDIA Display Control Panel
Release 75 includes enhancement to the following sections of the NVIDIA display
control panel user interface:
•
Additions and improvements in the Performance & Quality page (see
“Adjusting
Performance and Quality Settings” on page 104
) include:
•
Combined DirectX and OpenGL application profiles on one page
•
All application profiles, including workstation applications, are combined into
the same application profiles page.
For additional information, refer to the
NVIDIA Quadro Workstation User’s
Guide
.
•
Added a
triple-buffering
option for improved frame rates
•
Added a
transparency antialiasing
option, which applies to graphics cards
based on newer GPUs such as the GeForce 7800 GTX. This option enables
transparent pixels (such as between fence links or leaves on trees) within
textures to be used in edge blending operations to clean up jaggies in images.
•
Added a
gamma correct antialiasing
option, which applies to graphics cards
based on newer GPUs such as the GeForce 7800 GTX. This option enables
gamma correct antialiasing for a better color calculation to help reduce jaggies
and maintain the highest level of color reproduction of 3D images.
•
Improved the
SLI rendering mode
options by allowing complete end-user
control of SLI for any application. This provides maximum flexibility over
creating application profiles for any for current and new applications.
•
Underscan support has been added for full screen overlay and full screen video
mirror outputs.
