Using Custom Settings is recommended for advanced users only. • SMOOTHVISION 2.1 • Anti-Aliasing checkbox improves image quality b y r e m o v in g ja g g e d e d g e s f r o m 3 D im a g e s , resulting in smoother, more naturallooking objects. Selecting Application Preference will result in high qua lity images , wit h neg ligible re ductio n in the application's performance. • Anti-Aliasing slider c a n b e a p p lie d u s in g different sample patterns and sample points such as 2X, 4X, or 6X. M oving this s lider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D image. • Anisotropic Filtering checkbox uses a texture filt ering te ch niq ue th at b len ds mu ltiple tex tu re s a m p le s t o g e t h e r.

Moving the slider to the right delivers the highest quality experience. Moving the slider to the left emphasizes a high performance solution while still providing good visuals. GV-RX60X128V Graphics Accelerator -24 • Mipmap Detail Level slider This will allow you to choose the texture quality of the mipmaps the application will use. Mipmaps are a collection of different sized textures of the same image. As the user moves closer to a 3D object the image quality should increase, requiring a higher quality texture of the same image. The base mipmap is the highest quality texture, and all subsequent mipmaps are smaller sized textures of the same image. Moving the slider to the right selects a higher quality base mipmap, delivering the highest quality application experience. Moving the slider to the left selects a lower quality mipmap, delivering the highest application performance. • Wait for Vertical Sync This will lower the frame rate of full screen games but reduce the image tearing that can occur with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application Preference allows the application to decide whether or not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the monitor. Selecting Always Off allows the application to run at its highest possible frame rate, regardless of the monitor’s refresh rate which is typically less than the frame rate at which the application will run. • TRUFORM makes the curved surfaces of 3D objects look smoother and more lifelike. • Compatibility Settings button This button allows you to access advanced settings that can solve compatibility issues for a few specific OpenGL applications. • Force Z-buffer depth allows you to explicitly set the Z- Buff er dep th.

English -25 -Software Installation EnglishEnglish VPU Recover Properties: The VPU Recover Properties allows the ATI display driver to reset the graphics accelerator when it stops responding to commands from the display driver. Using VPU Recover the display driver will, in most cases, be able to reset the graphics accelerator without requiring a system restart. VPU Recover Settings: • Enable VPU Recover • Prepare an error report if VPU Recover is activated, for submission to ATI Technologies. GV-RX60X128V Graphics Accelerator -26 Display Properties: If your VGA card is equipped with a S-Video connector, you can use a second output device (e.q. a TV or a computer monitor) as part of your operating desktop extending your desktop to second device or copying your desktop on the second device. Select Display Type Enable / Disable "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" The Display tab provides the multi monitor features. Here you can enable/disable display devices and swap the assignment of Primary and Secondary displays. Connecting your graphics card to a TV or VCR To connect your GV-RX60X128V graphics card to a TV (or VCR), use an S-Video cable. However, most TVs (a...
