1.	 Bring up the Control Panel's Display Properties window.

2.	Click on the Settings tab and then click on the Advanced … button.

3.	Click on the SPECTRA Information tab.

4.	Click on the Advanced... button and then click on the OpenGL tab.

5.	In the Options section use the setting check box.

6.	Click OK.

Options

Enable OpenGL hardware acceleration

OpenGL hardware acceleration will use the SPECTRA 3200 to improve the performance of OpenGL applications.

Enable buffer region extension

Allows the drivers to use the OpenGL extension GL_KTX_buffer_region. This can increase application performance in 3D modeling applications that support this extension.

Allow the dual place extension to use local video memory

Allows the use of local video memory when the GL_KTX_buffer_region extension is enabled. However, if there are less than 8 MB of local video memory available, dual planes extension support will not be enabled. This setting has no effect if the "Enable buffer region extension" option above is disabled.

Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering

Allowing fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering will provide increased application performance at the expense of some image quality. In many cases, a loss of image quality may not be noticeable, so you may wish to take advantage of the extra performance gained by enabling this feature.

Enable anisotropic filtering

Anisotropic filtering provides better texture image quality as the texture surface becomes more oblique to the eye point. It is disabled by default to comply with OpenGL conformance settings.

Enable alternate depth buffering technique

Enables an alternate technique for depth buffering. This lets the hardware use a different mechanism for depth buffering in 16 bit applications. Enabling this setting can produce higher quality rendering of 3D images.

Default color depth for textures

This option determines whether textures of a specific color depth should be used by default in OpenGL applications. Use desktop color depth will always use textures of the color depth at which your Windows desktop is currently running. The Always use 16 bpp and Always use 32 bpp options will force the use of textures of the specified color depth, regardless of your desktop settings.

Buffer flipping

This option determines the buffer flipping mode for full-screen OpenGL applications. You can select from the block transfer method, the page flip method or auto-select. Auto-select allows the driver to determine the best method based on your hardware configuration.

Vertical sync

This option lets you specify how vertical sync is handled in OpenGL. Always off will always disable vertical sync in all OpenGL applications. Off by default will keep vertical sync disabled, unless an application specifically requests that it be enabled. On by default will keep vertical sync enabled, unless an application specifically requests that it be disabled.

6.	Click OK or Apply.

Options

Enable Fog Table emulation

This option is provided for games which always expect table fog support.

Adjust Z-Buffer depth to rendering depth

Forces the hardware to automatically adjust the depth of its Z-buffer to the depth that the application requests.

Texel Alignment

This option changes the hardware texture addressing scheme for texels (texture elements).

Prerender limit

This option allows you to limit the number of frames the CPU can prepare before they are processed by the graphics chip when vertical sync is disabled.
