Set Alternate pixel center for Direct 3D®
This might eliminate problems with certain Direct 3D® games that display
vertical and horizontal lines around textures or display text incorrectly.
This setting should only be enabled if you are experiencing these issues, as
it may cause problems in other games.

Set Triple buffering for OpenGL®
Enabling Triple buffering will improve the frame rate of games when
vertical sync is enabled, only if the frame rate is less than the vertical sync
refresh rate. In low memory situations, enabling Triple buffering may
decrease application performance as there will be less frame buffer
memory available for texture and geometry data. If there is insufficient
memory available to support Triple buffering, it will automatically be
disabled.
