Direct 3D Support Screen
The Direct 3D controls Direct3D application specific driver settings for Oxygen VX1
Windows 95/98 users, and lets you create your own settings. When the panel first appears, the
“Defaults,” “Add new” and “Remove Settings” buttons, as well as the “Advanced Options”
section, are hidden. They appear when you click the “Advanced” button.
• Click “Driver is optimized for application” to reach a drop down list of Direct3D
applications, then select the application you want to use. The rest of your selections
on this screen will apply to the specified application. You can also click “Select
optimized application” in the Configuration Manager and select your application
from that pop-up list.
• The “Add new” button lets you create a new setting, with a user specified name.
“Remove Setting” will remove user created settings, but will not remove the default
settings created at driver installation time. “Default” will restore the factory default
settings.
• “Texture Origin at Top Left Corner” shifts textures slightly as they are applied to
objects, and may result in better image quality with some applications.
• “8Bit RGB textures” enables Direct 3D support for 8bit textures that do not use a
separate 'look-up' table to specify color. These can be useful for applications which
use the new features of DirectX 6, but older applications can misinterpret these new
