intel gma graphic card

[superaymond]

i found these settings on the intel graphic card settings in control panel..

 

the stats below were mostly off before i turned them on.. these are the current settings.. which appears to be the max

 

 

 

Ansychronous Flip : ON

 

Triple Buffering: ON

 

Flipping Policy: Flip

 

Depth Buffer Bit Depth: 24 Bit

 

Force S3TC Texture Compression: ON

 

Force FXT1 Texture Compression: ON

 

Driver Memory Footprint: High

 

Texture Color Depth: 32 Bits

 

Anisottopic Filtering: ON

 

i am totally cluless what each one does.. i searched some of them up on website.. ppl just said turn them on to max... what do they do??

 

 

 

would this affect my gaming experience?

 

say i didn't have Video HW Transform & Lighting and Vertex Shader Ver before.. would i turn it on?

Are you trying to play a particular game?

The more of those setings you turn on the better your graphics will be, or I should say the better they CAN be. Some of that would be reqired by certain games. The only thing is I suspect that puts more strain on your CPU so it will lower your preformance if the CPU cant cope.

 

 

 

As to what it all means....ask someone else.

If you don't know what it does don't touch it...

 

 

 

The only thing they'll effect is they will kind of "override" the settings in other games, at least if its like the Nvida drivers. its better to let the specific game(s) choose their settings.
