	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
Mipmap Detail	quality should increase, requiring a higher quality
	texture of the same image. The base mipmap is the
Level slider	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 will lower the frame rate of full
	screen games but reduce the image tearing that can
	occur with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application
Wait for	Preference allows the application to decide whether or
	not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the
Vertical Sync
	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.
