*'' | * ''Direct3D 11 (Hardware)'': GSdx will use Direct3D10/11 mode which is often faster and usually more compatible as well. It is '''recommended''' to use this option if your system supports it. | ||
*'' | * ''Direct3D 11 (Software)'': GSdx will use its built-in software renderer which will not utilize your graphics card at all. The image will be rendered solely by your CPU. This will greatly reduce the rendering speed, but this is the most compatible mode. This option is recommended if you encounter graphics bugs with the hardware renderer. | ||

In the latest 1.7.x builds, the renderer options are: | |||

* ''OpenGL'': GSdx will use the OpenGL interface to render the image. This option is generally slower than Direct3D 11, but it often provides more accuracy. | |||
* ''Vulkan'': About as accurate as OpenGL while being generally faster. It is sometimes slower than Direct3D11, however. | |||
* ''Software'': This option is intended to provide the most hardware-accurate experience. It can be slower than the hardware renderers, but you can increase the number of rendering threads (should your CPU have enough threads to support it) in order to reduce the performance hit. | |||
