Sets hardware acceleration on or off and provides a method to check for driver updates
Summary
Specifies hardware settings and performance tuning. The performance tuner reads your system and decides whether to use software or hardware acceleration for features that support both. Features that work with your system are turned on, and features that cannot work with your system are turned off. A log file displays the results.
This dialog box can also be accessed from the Performance Settings button on the System tab of the Options dialog box.
