„ CATALYST® A.I. Catalyst® A.I. makes use of ATI's new texture analyzer technology to optimize performance in 3D applications while maintaining or even improving image quality. It analyzes individual textures as they are loaded to determine the best and fastest way to display them. „ Mipmap Detail Level Mipmapping is a texturing technique that preserves the detail on a 3D object's surface as it moves into the background. A series of lowand high-resolution texture maps are stored in memory and selectively used to create the object's surface, depending on what level of detail is needed. Mipmap detail level can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality: Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smoothness of motion is the most important consideration. Setting for quality is best used when high surface detail is required, especially if the animated object rotates or moves into the background. - 31 - Software Installation
