manual abstract
Information Center: The Information Center page in Basic and Advanced View provides hardware and software information about the installed graphics card. • ..........Graphics Software Provides software information including driver version, CATALYST version, Direct 3D version and so on. • ..........Graphics Hardware Provides hardware information including graphics chipset, BIOS version, memory size, core clock and so on. -17 -Software Installation ATI Catalyst Control Center Advanced View The Advanced page allows you to configure all of the many available settings of your ATI graphics card. View Properties: The CATALYST Control Center dashboard supports three types of views. Hotkeys Properties: The Hotkeys Manager allows you to create shortcut key combinations to quickly perform tasks such as changing a graphics setting or opening an application. A Hotkey is a combination of a modifier key or keys, such as Ctrl, Alt, or Shift, and any letter from the alphabet. GV-R555 Series Graphics Accelerator - 18 Profiles Properties: You can use profiles to create customized environments for your desktop, video, and 3D applications. Define and save your own personal video settings that can be quickly activated manually, through a Hotkey, or by file association. Note: A profile applies to a specific graphics card. If there is more than one graphics card installed in your computer, you need to select the appropriate card before creating, loading, or activating a Profile. Preferences Properties: The Preferences page helps to restore defaults, change skins, and update the Catalyst Control Center. The Catalyst Control Center Preferences page contains the following options: • Always on Top • Hide Tooltips • Hide Splash Screen • Enable System Tray Menu • Select a Language ... • Restore Factory Defaults ... - 19 -Software Installation Help Properties: The Catalyst Control Center Help feature allows you to access the comprehensive online help, register your product, or generate a problem report should you require technical support. The Catalyst Control Center Help feature offers the following options: • Help for this Page • Help Contents ... • Go to ATI.com • About Catalyst Control Center ... GV-R555 Series Graphics Accelerator - 20 Desktop Properties: Use Desktop Properties to change your desktop setup. • Mode Use Mode to set up desktop area,color quality, Refresh rate and Rotation. • Color Adjust the overall richness of color by using the Gamma control. To adjust the overall brightness use the Brightness control, and the overall contrast use the Contrast control. Display Options: Choose one of the Display Detection Option to prevent screen flicker when detecting a display. - 21 - Software Installation 3D: • Standard Settings The Standard Settings page provides access to a universal slider control where you can simultaneously adjust all of the standard 3D settings for any type of 3D application. The slider enables you to adjust for overall system performance, overall 3D image quality, or a balance between the two. This page is useful when you are not aware of which type of 3D settings your application uses, or when you want to use an overall adjustment control that rapidly configures your application. • Anti-Aliasing Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a rendering technique designed to remove jagged edges, shimmering, and pixelation problems that are common in rendered 3D images. Rather than determining the color to display for each pixel by sampling a single location at the pixel's center, anti-aliasing samples multiple locations within each pixel and blends the results together to produce the final color. Anti-Aliasing can be set to favor either system processing performance or image quality, or the application can decide: • Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smooth motion is the most important consideration. • Setting for quality is best used when highly detailed and realistic 3D objects is the most important consideration. • If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements. • Adaptive Anti-Aliasing Adaptive anti-aliasing is a technique that applies a combination of multi-sampling (MSAA) and super-sampling (SSAA) on 3D objects to improve edge smoothness and fine detail. This feature renders 3D objects containing transparencies more realistic, providing exceptional levels of image quality while maintaining performance. GV-R555 Series Graphics Accelerator - 22 Anisotropic Filtering .. .. Anisotropic Filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping. Anisotropic Filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality: • Setting for performance is best used with applications that display objects with smoot...
