Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination that
always backs to default after restart the system.
Explain and Suggestion:
Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in video
driver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in
video driver that should be done by the driver developer. Likewise,
upgrade the video driver from the manufacturer or from the original
software developer is necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC?
Answer
3D technology is becoming increasingly important (and common) not
only in games, but also in other applications such as VRML, which
allows 3D scene descriptions in Web applications. 3D technology is
used for image editing, modeling, and an increasing number of in home
and business applications. In games, as well as other applications, 3D
acceleration not only allows better visual qualities and more realistic
scenery attributes than software alone, but it also allows a higher frame
rate, which translates into a more interactive experience for the end
user.
Q2 What does “Rendering Engine” mean?
Answer
“Rendering Engine” generically applies to the part of the graphics
engine that draws 3D primitives, usually triangles. In most
implementations, the rendering engine is responsible for interpolation
of edges and "filling in" the triangle.
Q3 What does the set-up engine do in a graphics controller?
Answer
A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of raw
vertex information; whereas, most common designs force triangles to
be pre-processed for the rendering engine in terms of delta values for
edges, color, and texture.
Q4 Why does a 3D graphics chip need to have both a rendering engine
and a setup engine?
