• PCI Texture Memory Size allows the graphics processor to utilize up to the
specified amount of system memory for texture storage (in addition to the
memory installed on the display adapter itself).
Note: The maximum amount of system memory that can be reserved for
texture storage is calculated based on the amount of physical RAM
installed in your computer. The more system RAM, the higher the
value you will be able to set.
This setting applies only to PCI display adapters (or AGP display adapters
running in PCI compatibility mode).
• Save As . . . lets you save the current settings (including those set in the
"More Direct3D" dialog) as a custom "tweak". Saved settings will then be
added to the adjacent list. Once you have found the optimal settings for a
particular Direct3D game, saving the settings as a custom tweak allows you
to quickly configure Direct3D before starting the game and eliminates the
need to set each of the options individually.
• Custom Direct3D settings displays a list of the custom settings (or
"tweaks") you have saved. Selecting an item from the list will activate the
setting. To apply the setting, click OK or Apply.
• Delete lets you delete the custom setting currently selected in the Custom
D3D Settings field.
• Restore Defaults restores all settings to their default values.
