Page 7 - Drivers #1
Recent driver releases results into some changes over the pre 40.xx versions. As you can notice some changes have been made in the recent drivers. Look at the tabs and you'll notice that performance is now set at Quality by default. With the launch of GeForce FX 5900, NVIDIA has modified the Performance and Quality control panel to more accurately represent the driver settings.
NVIDIA now offers a Performance, Balanced and Quality mode for Image Settings.
Here you can select Anti Aliasing (AA) up-to 8xS skewed grid modes and Anisotropic Filtering modes (AF) to 8x. The Texture sharpening setting will crank up the AF level to the next higher one. At default Quality is set which is a quality setting better than ATI's default settings. Performance is about the same and thus matches ATI default performance settings mode.
- The Performance mode offers users the highest frame rate possible.
- Balanced mode offers users an optimal blend of image quality and performance.
- Quality mode offers users the highest image quality while still delivering very good performance.
Standard information, it's a 5900 Ultra alright, and yes .. the 256 MB still has a little shock and awe effect.
The DirectX 3D settings
OpenGL settings, also nothing new here.
Your overlay settings for example when you play back DVD.
If you have a TFT screen that can flip .. well, here are your settings.
