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
Enable texture compression
enables and disables texture compression.
l
Full Screen an
ti-aliasing
allows you to set the level of full-screen anti-aliasing. This
will result in an overall higher quality image with a slight reduction in performance.
