Automatically generate mipmap levels: The RIVA TNT (or VANTA or TNT2 series) can
automatically generate mipmaps to increase the efficiency of texture transfers across the
bus and provide higher application performance.
Auto-mipmap method: Allows you to select the auto-mipmapping method used by the
RIVA TNT (or VANTA or TNT2 series).
Mipmap detail level: Allows you to adjust the LOD (Level of Detail) bias for mipmaps. A
lower bias will provide better image quality, while a higher bias will increase application
performance.
Allow mipmap dithering check box: This option allows for dithering of trilinear mipmaps.
Enable anti-aliasing in hardware: This option allows you to control the anti-aliasing
features of the drivers.
Anti-aliasing method: Allows you to select the anti-aliasing sampling method.
Custom Direct3D settings: A list of the custom settings (or "tweaks") you have saved.
Selecting an item from the list will activate the setting. To apply the setting, choose the
"OK" or "Apply" button.

Enable buffer region extension check box: 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.
PCI Texture Memory Size: Allows you to specify the maximum size of the PCI texture
heap. Increasing this value on PCI systems with sufficient memory may significantly
improve the performance of some OpenGL applications. This option is not available on
display adapters that use the AGP bus.
