The smaller the resolution selected in game, the bigger will interfaceHUD be rendered on screen.

For DirectX applications, this only affects DirectX 8 and above.

Some applications and games may need an older card model or older Glide versions, due to the advancements of Voodoo 3Dfx technology made over time.

The different video cards also presents bias to games which may lock particular rendering capabilities and properties to certain 3Dfx cards and versions of Glide.

No texture memory is stored on the onboard RAM, but instead it is processed and managed by the Texture Management Unit(s) (TMU).

Some applications determine what resolutions are supported by looking at how much on-board memory there is.

Since Glide uses a linear curve by default, the gamma level might not match the default or ones taste and can look visually detracting.

Emulation of true PCI access should theoretically never be disabled but there can be possible degradation of performance when left enabled.

Only some games require accurate emulation of the PCI bus, so in most cases PCI bus emulation should be left disabled.

Z-fighting can be better avoided with a 16-bit depth buffer, however artifacting can occur.

The other four non-dgVoodoo card types give specific emulated ATInVidiaMatrox driver versions and capabilities.

The different video cards also presents bias to games which lock particular rendering capabilities and properties to owners of a real ATI, nVidia or Matrox card.

The virtual SVGA card exposes only software capable rendering (2D rendering) to the application.

Be careful though, DirectX 7 and older applications can fail to launch if the emulated VRAM is set higher than 256 MB.

Some games may require more VRAM to render textures at higher resolutions.

Bilinear filtering on the two closest mipmap levels are applied and are interpolated.

Linear filtering is much nicer generally but can cause artifacts, especially with color-keyed blitting.

Early hardware did not support or apply point sampled blitting, which can end up with very pixelated results.

However there is a performance penality when enabling V-Sync.

Only recommended to use if an application is performing slowly, despite system specifications.

Fast video memory access can speed up games like Toy Story 2, but can also completely break others.

By instead forcing high resolution using dgVoodoo, this problem can be fixed in many games.
