Description of OpenGL Settings
Performance and Compatibility Options
• Enable buffer region extension allows the drivers to use the OpenGL
extension
GL_KTX_buffer_region
, which can increase application
performance in 3D modeling applications that support this extension.
• Allow the dual pane extensions to use local video memory allows the use
of local video memory when the
GL_KTX_buffer_region
extension is
enabled. However, if there are less than 8 MB of local video memory
available, dual planes extension support will not be enabled.
Note: This setting has no effect if the “Enable buffer region extension”
option above is disabled.
• Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering allows fast linear-mipmap-linear
filtering, which increases application performance but at the expense of some
image quality. In many cases, a loss of image quality may not be noticeable,
so you may want to take advantage of the extra performance that is gained by
enabling this feature.
