FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Main Settings
The Main Settings slider gives you the ability to configure the settings of your graphics
processor. Moving the slider to the left maximizes overall performance, whereas moving
the slider to the right enhances overall image quality. When the Main Settings slider is
moved, the individual Custom Settings sliders change to reflect the Main Settings
slider position.
Custom Settings
When the Custom Settings button is checked the Main Settings slider becomes disabled,
allowing you to configure the individual controls found within the Custom Settings area of
the control panel.
Anisotropic Filtering
Anisotropic filtering enhances 3D image quality by increasing the number of texture
samples taken per pixel, resulting in highly detailed 3D scenes.
The number of samples taken when anisotropic filtering is performed can vary. As the
number of samples taken increases, the quality of the final image increases significantly.
