Disable dithering when alpha blending
may remove artifacts left on the screen
when both dithering and alpha blending are enabled.
l
Wait for vertical sync
lowers the frames per second rate in full screen games
However this can reduce the image tearing that can occur with higher frame rates.
l
Enable texture compression
enables and disables texture compression.
