Configuring Graphics Cards

Settings and Functions

Dell configured your graphics card for optimal performance with most games and other video
programs. However, some game manufacturers may recommend that you either change a setting
or enable or disable a certain function for a game to properly run. You may also want to readjust
settings to better fit your gaming style.

Some settings, such as Direct3D or OpenGL, enable you to adjust the card for higher
performance or for higher image quality. Other settings, such as contrast or color level, are
cosmetic adjustments.

Certain high-end graphics cards are available with TV-out support, which enables you to
connect a TV to your computer, in addition to a monitor. A TV-out configuration is ideal for
watching movies using an optional DVD player or for giving presentations. For information on
connecting a TV to your computer, see page 35.

functions:

1

Click the Start button and click Help and Support.

Click User and system guides.
