Mipmap Detail

Level slider

This will allow you to choose the texture quality of the

mipmaps the application will use. Mipmaps are a

collection of different sized textures of the same image.

As the user moves closer to a 3D object the image

quality should increase, requiring a higher quality

texture of the same image. The base mipmap is the

highest quality texture, and all subsequent mipmaps are

smaller sized textures of the same image. Moving the

slider to the right selects a higher quality base mipmap,

delivering the highest quality application experience.

Moving the slider to the left selects a lower quality

mipmap, delivering the highest application performance.

Wait for

Vertical Sync

Wait for vertical sync will lower the frame rate of full

screen games but reduce the image tearing that can

occur with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application

Preference allows the application to decide whether or

not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the

monitor. Selecting Always Off allows the application to

run at its highest possible frame rate, regardless of the

monitor’s refresh rate which is typically less than the

frame rate at which the application will run.
