nVidia nForce Series in this window. Auto-Dectect is the "default"setting; it allows W indows to receive the proper timing information directly from the display itself. However, please note that some older monitors may not support this feature. ¡ General Timing Formula (GTF) is a standard used by most new display. ¡ Discrete Monitor Timing (DMT) is an older standard still in use on some displays. Enable this option if your display requires DMT. ¡ Coordinated Video Timing Standard (CVT) became the VESA standard on March 2003. CVT supports higher resolutions better than other timing standards. ¡ Fixed aspect ratio timing forces the displayed image to retain the aspect ratio of the mode rather than aspect ratio of the mode rather than aspect ration of the display. Performance & Quality Setting (Example Page) Move the Antialiasing settings silder to set the degree of antialiasing to be used in Direct 3D and OpenGL applications. Antialiasing is a technique used to minimize the "stair step" effect sometimes seen along the edges of 3D objects. Your selection can range from turning antialiasing completely off to selecting the maximum amount possible from a particular application. ¡ Off disables antialiasing in 3D applications. Select this option of you require maximum performance in your applications. ¡ 2x enables antialiasing useing the 2x mode. This mode offers improved image quality and high performance in 3D applications. ¡ 2xQ enables a patented antialiasing technique available in the GeForce GPU familiy. 2xQ (Quincunx) antialiasing offers the quality of the slower, 4x antialiasing mode at nearly the performance of the faster, 2x mode. 37
