PCI Texture Memory Size
NOTE: This setting applies only to PCI display
adapters or to AGP display adapters running in
PCI compatibility mode.
PCI Texture Memory Size lets you set the amount
of system memory for texture storage.
Clicking the up arrow increases the memory size while
clicking the down arrow decreases the size of system
memory for textures. The maximum amount of sys-
tem memory for texture storage depends on the physi-
cal memory installed on your system.
Vertical sync
Vertical sync lets you select how an image should
rendered to the screen. Always off lets an image
to be immediately rendered to the screen without waiting to be synchronized with the vertical retrace of the
monitor. This option allows for frame rates higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. This may, however,
produce visual artifacts and tearing, resulting in reduced image quality. If this occurs, select Always on.
Auto-select (default) selects the best rendering technique depending on your monitor.
More Options
Pre-Rendering
Maximum pre-render frames allows you to limit the
number of frames the CPU can prepare before they
are processed by the graphics chip when vertical sync
is turned off. Reduce this value if you experience, while playing games, a noticeable delay in the response of the
input devices connected to your computer.
Texel Alignment
Changing these values will change where the texel
origin is defined. The default values conform to the
Direct3D specifications. Some software may expect
the texel origin to be defined elsewhere. The im-
age quality of such applications will improve if the
texel origin is redefined.
Dragging the slider to the left positions the texel origin
toward the upper left corner and to the right positions it
toward the center (range: 0 to 7, default: 3).
Hardware Antialiasing Control
Hardware Antialiasing Control lets you determine
the amount of antialiasing to be applied in a par-
ticular D3D application. Antialiasing is a technique
used to minimize rendering artifacts, such as the
“staircase” or jagged effect seen along the edges of 3D objects. Select Force antialiasing in all applica-
tions to force antialiasing in applications that do not directly support it. Note that some applications that do
not explicitly support antialiasing may not display properly or may render irregular images. Use this option
with care.
