Nicest settings for Pete's GPU?

BluDChyLD · February 17th, 2002

I use the following settings, what can I change to improve image quality?

esolution/Color:
- 1024x768 Fullscreen - Desktop changing [32 Bit]
- Keep psx aspect ratio: on

Textures:
- R8G8A8A8
- Filtering: 6
- Garbage collection: on
- VRam size: 0 MBytes

Framerate:
- FPS limitation: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: Auto

Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 4
- Framebuffer texture: 2
- Alpha multipass: on
- Mask bit: on
- Advanced blending: on

Misc:
- Scanlines: off
- Line mode: off
- Unfiltered FB: off
- Dithering: off
- Screen smoothing: off
- Full vram: off
- Game fixes: off [00000000]

Thanks,
BluDChyLD

P.S About the screen smoothing option - I turned texture filtering off and enabled this instead and it doesn't do much. Am I suppose to use it in conjunction with texture filtering?

I would like to turn on dithering and screen smoothing with this configuration.

You may enable screen smoothing or use some sort of scanlines if you like them. If screen smoothing doesn't do much for your gfx card, just disable it if you want to gain more speed for complex 3D drawing scenes. Dithering is for 16-bit color depth, so you would not see any noticeable change in 32 bit.
