• Adjust for model imprecision eliminates distortion in your images by
processing them at sub-pixel levels. Sub-pixel precision “catches” the
pixels that may fall out between triangles, smoothing the jagged edges that
distort a shape, but prioritizes image quality over acceleration.
• Use mip-mapping texture calculations allows texture calculation when
requested by an OpenGL application. If disabled, only the largest map will
be used and texture calculations will be done with bi-linear sampling. Mip-
mapping is disabled by default for maximum OpenGL application
performance.
• Enable dual monitor mode enables the use of dual displays, and lets the
cursor track from one screen to the next. Disabling this option turns off
dual display, even if two monitors are present. The option is dimmed and
unavailable if only one monitor is connected to your Oxygen RPM card.
• Enable back buffer copy mode optimizes the performance of Kinetix 3D
Studio MAX R2. Used in conjunction with settings in 3D Studio MAX R2,
the contents of the back buffer are copied into the front buffer, while the
contents of the back buffer remain unchanged. If disabled, front and back
buffer contents are actually swapped, which is faster for most applications.
• Enable buffer sync mode swaps the front and back buffers during your
monitor’s vertical blank period. Although there is a potential performance
loss, this feature improves image quality by eliminating tearing.
