OpenGL® Compatibility Settings

Force Z-buffer

This allows you to explicitly set the Z-Buffer depth. Most

depth

applications will work best when Disabled is selected

 

When applications use both dithering and alpha

 

blending, visual artifacts can occur. This option allows

Alpha

you to select how the application should handle both

dithering

features at the same time. In most cases Error

method

Diffusion will handle this situation quite well, but there

 

are a few cases where selecting Ordered may be

 

necessary

Support KTX

Enabling this feature allows rapid updates of those

portions of your screen that have changed. Note that

buffer region

most applications will not be affected by activating this

extension

feature

 

Defaults

This button allows you to reset the OpenGL

button

Compatibility Settings to default values.
