Direct 3D® Compatibility Settings

 

This will enable W-Buffer support for 3D games. It is

Support

recommended to disable this for games that do not

support this feature. Certain applications require the

W-buffer

increased precision of W-Buffering and will exhibit

 

 

artifacts unless the W-Buffer is enabled.

 

Z-Buffer Bit Depth can be 16 bits, 24 bits, or 32 bits. 16

Support 32-bit

and 24 are selected by default to achieve optimum

Z-buffer depth

performance. Very few applications require a 32 bit Z-

 

Buffer, so in most cases this feature should be disabled.
