This optimization offers a way to adjust filtering performance without visibly affecting image quality o The Performance setting has also been updated. It now provides a smooth filtering option that is designed to eliminate most shimmering while preserving the detail provided by anisotropic filtering. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
