| Option | Recommended Setting | Why? | |--------|---------------------|------| | | 4x Native (or 8x if you have an RTX 2060+) | Eliminates pixelation. PS1 native is 320x240; 4x = 1280x960. | | Texture Filtering | 8x Anisotropic | Makes distant textures clear without blurring 2D sprites too much. | | Dithering | OFF | Removes ugly checkerboard patterns from gradients. | | Perspective Correction | Full | Stops textures from swimming (e.g., floors in Tomb Raider ). | | Culling | Disabled (for 2D games) / Enabled (for 3D games) | Fixes missing polygons. | | Downsampling (SSAA) | 2x (if you have GPU headroom) | Smoothes jagged edges on 3D models. | | Scanlines | 0% (if using HD) / 25% (if going for CRT look) | Authentic retro feel. | | VSync | ON | Prevents screen tearing. |
