Mipmap Detail Level slider
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 quality should increase, requiring a higher quality texture of the same image.
The base mipmap is the 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
This will lower the frame rate of full screen games but reduce the image tearing that can occur
with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application Preference allows the application to decide
whether or not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the 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.
TRUFORM makes the curved surfaces of 3D objects look smoother and more lifelike.
