Configuring Key ForceWare Graphics Driver Features
•
Off
disables anisotropic mip filter optimization for best image quality.
Anisotropic Sample Optimization
This option enables a variety of sample-related optimizations on all but the primary
texture stage, thus improving performance but with a small impact on image quality.
1
Make sure the
View advanced settings
option is selected from the View list.
2
Select Anisotropic sample optimization from the Global driver settings list. The
available slider settings are On and Off.
•
On
enables the use of anisotropic sample optimization for better performance.
•
Off
disables the use of anisotropic sample optimization for best image quality.
Gamma Correct Antialiasing
Note:
This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs, such as the GeForce 7800
GTX.
•
On
enables gamma correct antialiasing, which results in a better color calculation
to help reduce jaggies and maintain the highest level of color reproduction of 3D
images.
•
Off
disables gamma correct antialiasing.
Transparency Antialiasing
Note:
This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs, such as the GeForce 7800
GTX.
Transparency antialiasing, an advanced feature, is a technique used to minimize the
visible aliasing on the edges of images with transparent textures. This improvement
in 3D image quality is most noticeable in objects such as vegetation, chain-link fences,
and similar objects.
To enable this feature, use the
Multisampling
setting for superior application
performance or the
Supersampling
setting for superior image quality.
