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.

 

Enabling this allows applications to use this kind of

Support DTX

texture format. There are a few applications that can

only support a limited number of texture formats. By

texture

selecting Disabled, the driver will not support DTX

formats

texture formats, thus reducing the number of texture

 

 

formats supported.

 

This may eliminate problems with some D3D games

 

which display vertical and horizontal lines around

Alternate pixel

textures, or text that appears incorrect. However, this

center

setting should only be used if you are experiencing the

 

symptoms mentioned, as it may cause problems with

 

other games.

Defaults

This button allows you to reset the Direct3D®
