Configuration Settings

Enable 8-Bit double-buffered Overlay Planes Force copy swap A default setting that uses 8 bits of each 32-bit frame buffer pixel as double-buffered overlay planes. A default setting that forces blit copy from the back-tofront buffer. This copies pixels quickly from memory to the screen, reducing flicker and increasing the frame rate. Note that OpenGL buffer swaps are implemented using a back-to-front buffer instead of a screen flip. The buffer swap is synched to the refresh rate of the monitor. Enabling this will lower the frame rate but reduce visual artifacts such as tearing. Disabling allows your application to run at the highest possible frame rate, regardless of the monitors refresh rate, which is typically less than the frame rate at which the application will run.
Wait for vertical retrace
ATI Advanced Settings Tab
The Advanced Settings tab enables you to apply ATIs SMOOTHVISION technology for full-scene anti-aliasing, and to utilize stereo shutter glasses for visualizing immersive 3D-stereo display (only available for those FireGL V5000 cards equipped with a stereo video connector).
