** '''Native''' resolution. In contrast with higher (in most cases) '''D3D internal resolution''' is more compatible mode but suffers from poor visials. This is the native PS2 mode you'll see picture this way when you're playing on the real PS2. Use it when you cannot play in hi-res because of unbearable artifacts. You can also switch between the two in runtime, see '''List of ingame keys'''-'''F9'''. | ** '''Native''' resolution.

* '''SW renderer threads''' -- chooses the number of threads (pipes) to render the picture in software mode. Every additional thread here means one additonal CPU core will be used in the rendering process. You're still gonna need at least one core left for the PCSX2 itself so if you, for instance, have 4 cores (quad core CPU) you may want to set this field to 3. | * '''SW renderer threads''' -- chooses the number of threads (pipes) to render the picture in software mode.

* '''Logarithmic Z''' -- changes the way the third (depth) coordinate is treated (logatithmic or linear). This option should be left ON unless you experience some weirdness in the objects (like seeing through them). | * '''Logarithmic Z''' -- changes the way the third (depth) coordinate is treated (logatithmic or linear).

* '''8-bit textures''' -- stores textures in 8-bit (256 color) mode. It's an attempt to gain additional speed while trasfering 8-bit textures and have more free space in video memory. May or may not have some posivite impact for some cards with some games. | * '''8-bit textures''' -- stores textures in 8-bit (256 color) mode.

* '''Alfa correction (FBA)''' -- is a correction to make some textures partly or fully transparent (as required by the emulation) but may cause unusual slowness in some games.
