Optimizing the Wildcat Driver

Refer to the documentation that came with your application for information on optimization support. If
your application supports optimized configurations, you can choose to enable the application
manufacturer’s pre-set configurations or create your own.

Enabling application-specific optimizations

1. Right click on the Windows desktop (or left click if you’ve altered the default mouse

setup) and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced.

2. Under the Wildcat Configuration tab, select Configuration Wizard. Click Next to continue.
3. If your application supports optimized configurations, select the configuration for your

application from the Configuration pulldown menu and click Next to view a summary of
the application-specific configuration.

4. Click Finish to save your configuration and dismiss the Wizard, or click Cancel to close

the Wizard without accepting any changes.

NOTE:

You cannot alter the application manufacturer’s pre-set configuration. If you want
some (but not all) features of the application manufacturer’s configuration, you
must create a customized configuration. See “Creating a custom optimization” for
instructions.

Enabling Direct3D optimizations

1. Right click on the Windows desktop (or left click if you’ve altered the default mouse

setup) and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced.

2. Under the Wildcat Configuration tab, select Configuration Wizard. Click Next to continue.
3. From the configuration pull down menu, select Default Direct3D Settings, then click Next.

NOTE:

Configuring the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 for Direct3D will use all available
off screen memory.


4. Click Finish to save your configuration and dismiss the Wizard, or click Cancel to close

the Wizard without accepting any changes.
