Anisotropic Filtering  

Disabled:

 Anisotropic filtering is disabled in all OpenGL applications. 

Automatic

: Anisotropic filtering is disabled by default but applications may specifically enable it. 

Force 2X Sampling

: Anisotropic filtering with two samples per texel will be used for all OpenGL 

applications. 

Force 4X Sampling

: Anisotropic filtering with four samples per texel will be used for all OpenGL 

applications. 

Force 8X Sampling

: Anisotropic filtering with eight samples per texel will be used for all OpenGL 

applications. This is the highest quality setting 

Buffer Swap Mode  

Automatic

: The graphics adapter will default to Page Flipping mode, in which the front and back 

buffers are simply alternated, unless specifically overridden by the application. This option will 
generally give the best performance. 
 

Force Swap Copy

: Data is copied from the back buffer to the display buffer. This behavior is 

generally slower than Page Flipping, however some applications may require this behavior as they 
cache information in the back buffer. Use this setting if an application is not displaying images 
correctly 

Wait for Vertical Sync 

This option sets the vertical sync behavior to be used in OpenGL applications. Vertical 
Synchronization means that applications must wait until the display device is ready before they can 
perform drawing operations. This places an upper limit on the frame rate an application can 
achieve, but is sometimes necessary to prevent 'tearing' artifacts caused by drawing operations 
from one frame bleeding into the next. 
 

Enabled

: Vertical synchronization is enabled in all OpenGL applications. 

Disabled by Default

: Vertical synchronization is disabled unless an application specifically enables it 

Stereo Output  

See “Configuring your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card for Stereo Viewing” in this section.
