Rosewill G03-ATI9000 user manual OpenGL Control Panel, Smooth Vision checkbox

OpenGL® Control Panel

Using this tab, gamers can fine-tune the settings for OpenGL® games.

Main and Custom Settings

In the Main Settings you can maximize overall performance by moving the slider to the left, or you can enhance overall image quality by moving the slider to the right.

Main Settings slider

This allows you to emphasize what kind of application experience you’d like to have. Moving the slider to the left will maximize application performance, while moving the slider to the right will provide excellent 3D image quality. Moving this slider from one position to the next changes the individual Custom Settings sliders found below.

Custom Settings checkbox

When Custom Settings is checked, the Main Settings slider is disabled, allowing you to move each individual slider in the Custom Settings section below. Setting the individual sliders gives you complete control over your application experience. Using Custom Settings is recommended for advanced users only.

SMOOTH VISION Anisotropic Filtering checkbox

Anisotropic filtering uses a texture filtering technique that blends multiple texture samples together. Selecting Application Preference will result in high quality textures, with a negligible reduction in the application’s performance.

SMOOTH VISION Anisotropic Filtering slider

The number of samples taken when anisotropic filtering is performed can vary. By moving this slider to the right, as the number of samples taken increases, the quality of the final image increases significantly.16X provides extremely detailed, crisp-looking images as a result of the largest number of texture samples possible.

SMOOTH VISION checkbox

SmoothVision (Anti-Aliasing) improves image quality by removing jagged edges from 3D images, resulting in smoother, more natural looking objects.

SMOOTH VISION slider

SmoothVision (Anti-Aliasing) can be applied using different sample patterns and sample points such as 2X, 4X, or 6X. Moving this slider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D image.

Texture Preference slider

Selecting this decides whether your application should use high quality or high performance textures. Moving the slider to the right delivers the highest quality experience. Moving the slider to the left emphasizes a high performance solution while still providing good visuals.
