Setting for performance is best used for situations where a high level of realism is required for the object's shape and reflective properties. • SMARTSHADERTM SMARTSHADER technology incorporates major advances in the area of Pixel Shaders, which are small programs that execute on every pixel rendered to the display device. With support for up to six textures in a single rendering pass, the memory bandwidth constraints associated with multi-pass rendering can be greatly reduced, which translates into better rendering performance. By doubling the maximum allowable length of the shader programs, more complex effects can be created to accurately model the visual properties of materials and surfaces, including hair, skin, wood, and water. English -27 -Software Installation • No Preview English The No Preview page combines all of the principal 3D features onto a single page, without any preview window, allowing for quick access and adjustement. You can change the settings for the following 3D features as you normally would on each feature own page: • Anti-aliasing • Anisotropic filtering • CATALYST A.I. • Mipmap detail level • TRUFORMTM • Wait for display refresh • SMARTSHADERTM effects This page is useful when it is not necessary to preview the adjusted settings because the effect is already known or understood. • API-Specific Use the 3D API-Specific dialog to select settings that are exclusively for the Direct3D® and OpenGL® Application Programmable Interfaces (API). These settings are provided for resolving certain incompatibilities within 3D applications that use one of these APIs. Use this dialog when you are know which type of API (Direct3D® or OpenGL®) your 3D application uses, and you want to select a particular API- specific feature. If you are not sure which API your 3D application uses, consult the documention of your 3D application. GV-R80L256V Graphics Accelerator - 28 English Color : Use the Color page to adjust the color properties of your Desktop and Full Screen 3D applications and games. Use the Color Correction Images to e preview the changes before applying them. The Color curve is a graphical representation of all the values of gamma, brightness, or contrast. The color curve line will reflect any changes made to these elements. • Color Desktop Adjust the overall richness of color by using the Gamma control. To adjust the overall brightness use the Brightness control, and the overall contrast use the Contrast control. • Color - Full-screen 3D Adjusting the Gamma control alters the overall richness of color. Adjusting the Brightness control alters the overall brightness. Adjusting the Contrast control alters the overall contrast. Adjusting the Gamma can be useful for CAD applications that rely heavily on color coding or applications that require realistic color. Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast can be useful for 3D games that display dimly lit scenes. Video : With Video setting you can set for viewing video files: • Standard Settings Video Overlay Standard Settings offers video presets that are comprised of Home, Work, Theater, and Custom. Select a preset from the Video Presets drop dpwn menu. • Overlay/VIDEOVISION Use this page to manually set Gamma, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue. • Theater Mode -29 -Software Installation English SMARTGART TM: SMARTGARTTM is a software testing and diagnostics tool that performs a variety of AGP bus tests in order to determine the optimal settings for your graphics card to ensure system stability. The tests are run automatically when the computer is turned on; if your computer is functioning normally, you do not need to adjust anything. You can manually adjust the AGP bus settings to meet the individual requirements of your computer. Once you have made the changes you can retest SMARTGARTTM by using the Retest All button. Note: Changing these settings could result in system instability. VPU Recover : VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect when the graphics processor stops responding to display-driver instructions. When this happens, the display driver attempts to reset the graphics hardware. In most cases, VPU Recover will be able to reset the graphics processor without requiring a system restart. Should the computer be unable to recover from a crash, VPU Recover will switch the computer to software rendering mode, allowing you to save any work in progress before restarting the computer. • Enable VPU Recover • Prepare an error report if VPU Recover is activated, for submission to ATI Technologies. Allows the VPU Recover, once it is actived, to genrate an error report that you can send to ATI via e-mail. GV-R80L256V Graphics Accelerator - 30 3.2. Windows® 2000 Driver Installation With Windows running on your computer, you need to install the graphics card driver to take advantage of the higher performance, resolutions, and special graphics features of the graphics card. To ensure you install the latest driver, insert the Installati...
