MADRIX Help and Manual197

We recommend to enable Direct3D output.

This option is a great performance improvement for MADRIX.

"Use V-Sync" activates the Vertical Synchronization function of your graphics card for your

display monitor or output device. V-Sync can only be used with Direct3D-Previews. Please always

use the button "Apply" to apply your changes.

"FPS" allows you to manually set the frame rate (frames per second) of the five Preview Windows

(Preview A, Preview B, Preview Output, Preview DVI 1, Preview DVI 2). A higher number of frames

generates smoother results, but requires more computer performance. The "FPS" option can be set

independently of V-Sync. But if V-Sync is activated, the maximum frame rate will be set by the

highest possible V-Sync frame rate of your monitor or output device, even if you entered a higher

number.

Use the "Reset" button to restore the default settings. The default value for

DirectDraw Previews is 30.3 FPS. The default value for Direct3D Previews is 50.0 FPS.

Press the button "Restart Previews" if you think refreshing your Preview

Windows is necessary. Then, all MADRIX previews will be initialized again. The rendering may take

a few seconds.
