NVIDIA Corporation 113Chapter 7Configuring Key ForceWare Graphics Driver Featurescomplement your NVIDIA GPU and improve performance in 3D applications.Enabling this setting lets you disable support for these additional 3D instructions inthe drivers, which can be useful when comparing performance or whentroubleshooting.Off — Support for enhanced instructions used by certain CPUs is not disabled.Maximize texture memoryEnabling this option sets aside as much memory as possible for use by texture maps.This can increase performance for highly texture‐intensive applications but at theexpense of a minor amount of performance for non‐textured applications.Buffer-Flipping ModeClick the list to display the buffer‐flipping modes for full‐screen OpenGLapplications. You can select one of the following methods:• Use Block Transfer is the block transfer method.• Auto‐select allows the driver to determine the best method based on yourhardware configuration.Antialiasing Line GammaNote: This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs, such as the Quadro FXseries.Enabling this option allows gamma‐corrected antialiased lines to consider variancesin the color‐display capabilities of your displays when rendering smooth lines.Antialiasing Full Screen GammaNote: This setting is available on newer NVIDIA GPUs.Activating this setting enables gamma correction for full screen antialiasing. Gamma‐corrected antialiasing consider variances in the color display capabilities of yourdisplays when rendering smooth edges. As a result, slightly inclined edges looksmoother.Note: Enabling this setting can slow down application performance speed.
