What exactly does Application Optimal Mode do and...

[KMcBr]

Two questions really:

1) What exactly does Application Optimal Mode do in the HD4400 ?

Could it make things run worse in some cases?

2) What exactly is the difference in the 3D settings between Performance Mode, Balanced Mode and Quality Mode?

Can I use custom to achieve any of those presets, or do they do more? When I say difference I mean more detail than the existing help text.

Does performance turn off hidden features and if so what features, vs the others modes. Thank you. I had a hard time finding any details by searching.

Maybe there is a way for me to find out myself, and if so I appreciate the help. Maybe they are listed in the registry maybe?

Thanks again

Application Optimal Mode enables some application specific optimizations. This is similar in concept to the per-game profiles/optimizations applied by AMD or NVidia. Normally you should leave this enabled for best game performance and to allow driver to work around some game bugs.

Thank you also. Ya I was hoping there was more specifics available, but I will just keep it on 🙂

Hi Kevi

You can also click the "ToolTips" ( ? circled in red) to get additional information about each setting.

Thanks, the help is so generic, so wasn't sure. Was hopeful the help would have given more details.
