Anisotropic Filtering
Anisotropic Filtering is a technique that pre-
serves detail on surfaces that have three-di-
mensional perspective and fade away into the
background. It works best when used in con-
junction with Mipmapping.
Anisotropic Filtering can be set to favor either
an increase in system processing performance
or improved image quality:
Setting for performance is best used with
applications that display objects with smooth,
simple surfaces, like those seen in CAD
applications.
Setting for quality is best used with applications
that display highly detailed scenes,
backgrounds, and textured objects, like those
seen in 3D games.
If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic
filtering, use the Use application settings option.
Your display will automatically adjust to the
application's requirements.
CATALYST A.I.
®
Catalyst A.I. makes use of ATI's new texture
®
analyzer technology to optimize performance
in 3D applications while maintaining or even
improving image quality. It analyzes individual
textures as they are loaded to determine the
best and fastest way to display them.
