Alpha 
dithering 
method
When applications use both dithering and alpha 
blending, visual artifacts can occur. This option allows 
you to select how the application should handle both 
features at the same time. In most cases Error 
Diffusion
 will handle this situation quite well, but there 
are a few cases where selecting Ordered may be 
necessary. 
Support DXT 
texture 
formats
Enabling this allows applications to use this kind of 
texture format. There are a few applications that can 
only support a limited number of texture formats. By 
selecting Disabled, the driver will not support DXT 
texture formats, thus reducing the number of texture 
formats supported.
Alternate pixel 
center
This may eliminate problems with some D3D games 
which display vertical and horizontal lines around 
textures, or text that appears incorrect. However, this 
setting should only be used if you are experiencing the 
symptoms mentioned, as it may cause problems with 
other games.
Defaults 
button
This button allows you to reset the Direct 3D 
Compatibility Settings to default values.
