* Original names: '''テイルズ オブ ジ アビス''' (SLPS-25586) & (SLPS-73252) | * Original names: '''テイルズ オブ ジ アビス''' (SLPS-25586) & (SLPS-73252) | ||
== Best Settings == | |||
Which hardware renderer to use? | |||
* Direct3D 11 | |||
** Faster (uses less GPU) of the two | |||
** Simpler to operate (less options to mess with) | |||
* OpenGL | |||
** Seems to be more stable/accurate (less frame drops / stutter) | |||
** More options to help defer GPU resources if Vram is limited | |||
Options that have the largest impact on visual quality | |||
* Resolution - If you can spare the GPU horsepower putting the resolution to 2x or 4x native is the best option to improve visuals of TotA | |||
* Half-Pixel offset - The blending/mixing of the native picture can stand to be improved by enabling either of the listed half-pixel offset settings | |||
** Normal (Vertex) - The more accurate of the two methods as the crystal grid artifacts don't appear, but has a pixel wide flashing bar on the left and top sides (can help be mitigated by increasing the resolution and thus decreasing the size of the flashing when down-sampled to the screen) | |||
** Special (Texture) - Fixes the mixing/blending without the flashing bars, but crystal grids can occur (only observable at title screen so far) | |||
* FXAA - When using resolution settings under 2x-4x, this shader option helps sharpen the game, but for anything higher it is unnecessary | |||
* Shade Boost - Enabling this feature allows the tweaking of brightness, contrast, and color saturation (these settings should be calibrated into your monitor first, BUT if the emulator/game is displaying odd enough from other applications/games then try tweaking with this option) | |||
Other graphical notes | |||
* Vsync - Standard and Adaptive didn't seem to improve stuttering/frame-drops and in two reproducible instances would cause it | |||
* The various tick-box rendering hacks - None seemed to help GPU usage or stability in anyway and would sometimes cause a pixel wide streak from top left to bottom right of the screen | |||
