Page 19 highlights

Software Installation OpenGL Properties: The OpenGL properties page gives you complete control of the OpenGL settings. n Optimization Preference l Quality allows you to optimize your OpenGL settings for quality. l Performance allows you to optimize your OpenGL settings for performance n OpenGL Settings l Convert 32 bit textures to 16 bit allows you to increase video performance for games that make heavy use of textures. However this could also reduce image qu ality. l Enable KTX buffer region extension enables rapid updates of those portions of your screen that have been moved. l Enable page flipping allows you to enable hardware acceleration ofpage flipping to swap full screen buffers. l Force 16-bit Z-buffering allows you to disable all other formats of Z-buffer and utilizes 16-bit Z-buffe ring. l Disable dithering when alpha blending may remove artifacts left on the screen when both dithering and alpha blending are enabled. l Wait for vertical sync lowers the frames per second rate in full screen games However this can reduce the image tearing that can occur with higher frame rates. l Level of Detail allows you to set the level of mipmapped detail. The Sharp setting is recommended for larger, more detailed, mipmapping scenes The Fuzzy setting is recommended for smaller, less detailed, mipmapping scenes. 19

l
Convert 32 bit textures to 16 bit
allows you to increase video performance for
games that make heavy use of textures. However this could also reduce image
quality.
l
Enable KTX buffer region extension
enables rapid updates of those portions of
your screen that have been moved.
l
Enable page flipping
allows you to enable hardware acceleration of page flipping
to swap full screen buffers.
l
Force 16-bit Z-buffering
allows you to disable all other formats of Z-buffer and
utilizes 16-bit Z-buffering.
l
Disable dithering when alpha blending
may remove artifacts left on the screen
when both dithering and alpha blending are enabled.
l
Wait for vertical sync
lowers the frames per second rate in full screen games
However this can reduce the image tearing that can occur with higher frame rates.
l
Level of Detail
allows you to set the level of mipmapped detail.
The
Sharp
setting is recommended for larger, more detailed, mipmapping scenes
The

setting is recommended for smaller, less detailed, mipmapping scenes.
