To Work With Adaptive Degradation

Adaptive degradation is a way to manage graphics performance by maintaining a minimum number of frames per second.

With adaptive degradation on, if performance goes below the number of frames per second (FPS) that you specify, effects are turned off or turned down until performance returns to an acceptable level. Wireframe visual styles will reduce the number of vectors displayed; other visual styles will degrade to the Shaded visual style.

Toggle Adaptive Degradation

1. At the Command prompt, enter -GRAPHICSCONFIG.
2. Enter a for adaptive degradation, and specify ON or OFF.

Set the Performance Level for Adaptive Degradation

1. At the Command prompt, enter -GRAPHICSCONFIG.
2. Enter a for adaptive degradation, and specify ON.
3. Enter a number of frames per second to maintain before the graphics are reduced in quality.
