English SMARTGARTTM : SMARTGARTTM is a software testing and diagnostics tool that performs a variety of AGP bus tests in order to determine the optimal settings for your graphics card to ensure system stability. The tests are run automatically when the computer is turned on; if your computer is functioning normally, you do not need to adjust anything. You can manually adjust the AGP bus settings to meet the individual requirements of your computer. Once you have made the changes you can retest SMARTGARTTM by using the "Restest All" button. Note: Changing these settings could result in system instability. VPU Recover : VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect when the graphics processor stops responding to display-driver instructions. When this happens, the display driver attempts to reset the graphics hardware. In most cases, VPU Recover will be able to reset the graphics processor without requiring a system restart. Should the computer be unable to recover from a crash, VPU Recover will switch the computer to software rendering mode, allowing you to save any work in progress before restarting the computer. „ Enable VPU Recover „ Prepare an error report if VPU Recover is activated, for submission to ATI Technologies. Allows the VPU Recover, once it is activated, to generate an error report that you can send to ATI via e-mail. GV-R96P256D/GV-R96P128DE Graphics Accelerator - 28 -
