Video card quesion

Hello,

I have the game Sega GT for PC and on the advanced graphic configuration options there are two settings to configure the Z-buffer mode: Z-buffer and W-buffer. What are the differences and which one I should use?

Thanks for reading.

I would just leave it as is, unless you're experiencing problems with the card. Otherwise, experiment: choose one and test it and then choose the other and test it. Compare and pick the best one. However, this is my sophomore level advice and I am more than willing to have one of the guru supersede it. On my 3D prophet, the z buffer is on by default and it says that disabling it could cause trouble. I hope that gives you something to consider.
