 Compatibility Settings
Support W-
buffer
This will enable W-Buffer support for 3D games. It is 
recommended to disable this for games that do not 
support this feature. Certain applications require the 
increased precision of W-Buffering and will exhibit 
artifacts unless the W-Buffer is enabled.
Support 32-bit 
Z-buffer depth
Z-Buffer Bit Depth can be 16 bits, 24 bits, or 32 bits. 16 
and 24 are selected by default to achieve optimum 
performance. Very few applications require a 32 bit Z-
Buffer, so in most cases this feature should be disabled.
