Control Panels

TwinView, Digital Vibrance Control, OpenGL, and Direct3D features have associated
NVIDIA‐specific windows (control panels) from which these features can be
configured. These control panels are normally accessed by following one of these
procedures from the Windows active desktop:
• Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced
or
• Click the right mouse button and select Properties > Settings > Advanced.

Release 5 Enhancements

The Release 5 driver adds capabilities in the following areas:

OpenGL

Changes have been made to the core, extensions, performance, and available features
of OpenGL.

OpenGL 1.2 Core

Release 5 adds all the features that constitute the OpenGL 1.2 core capabilities:
• BGRA pixel formats
• packed pixel formats (plus R5_G6_B5 formats and reversed formats)
• rescaling vertex normals
• specular highlights after texturing
• level‐of‐detail control for mipmapped textures (supported in software on TNT2)
• texture coordinate edge clamping
• 3‐D textures (performed in software on all platforms)
• vertex array subranges for optimizing vertex array processing
(glDrawRangeElements() retains the performance of glDrawElements())
