Display Properties 4-5 4-7. GeForce FX NOTE: The display information in this section is for reference only, and will vary according to different video adapter. Adapter Information: This information details the hardware aspects of the currently selected NVIDIA GPU. Driver Version Information: This table is a list of files and associated version information currently in use by your NVIDIA GPU.
4-6 Chapter 4 Antialiasing settings: Use this slider by dragging it to set the degree of antialiasing to be used in Direct3D and OpenGL applications. Antialiasing is a technique used to minimize the "stairstep" effect sometimes seen along the edges of 3D objects. Your selection can range from turning antialiasing completely off to selecting the maximum amount possible for a particular application. NOTE: Availability of options described in this section may depend on the NVIDIA GPU you are using.
Display Properties 4-7 Direct3D Settings: Mipmap detail level: Allows you to adjust the LOD (Level of Detail) bias for mipmaps. A lower bias will provide better image quality, while a higher bias will increase application performance. You can choose from five preset bias values, varying from “Best Image Quality” to “Best Performance”.
4-8 Chapter 4 More Direct3D: Vertical sync mode: This item allows you to specify how vertical synchronization is handled in Direct3D. Render no more than…: This item allows you to limit the number of frames the CPU can prepare before the frames are processed by the graphics processor when Vertical Sync is disabled.

Change Resolutions: Screen resolution: This item displays available screen resolution settings for the display device.
Display Properties 4-15 Show only physical panning resolutions: Check this box to allow modes smaller than traditional Windows desktop modes to be set on the selected display. This can cause the visible area of the display to possibly appear zoomed or to pan around the desktop, depending on the capabilities of the display. Hide modes that this monitor cannot support: This item allows you to specify whether to include modes that are not supported by your display.
4-16 Chapter 4 Screen Menus: Enable screen menu editing: Check this box to toggle the Screen Menu Editing option.
Display Properties 4-17 nView Display Mode: The nView functions allow you to connect two separate output devices (analog monitor, digital flat panel or TV) to a single graphics card. Single display: Use this mode if you have only one display device attached to your NVIDIA GPU-based graphics card. Clone: This mode outputs an exact copy of the primary display on the secondary device. To enable Clone Mode, select Clone and click OK or Apply. Both display monitors now display the same image.
4-18 Chapter 4 Horizontal Span: This mode allows you to extend the Windows desktop across two display devices horizontally.
