* '''Fast Depth Calculation''' - Uses a less accurate method of calculating depth values. Gives a decent speedup, but can cause flickering textures.

* '''Anti-aliasing/Anisotropic Filtering''' - Tip: If you are using DirectX11 backend, you can set these to the lowest in Dolphin. You can then configure your graphics card to override the AA/AF settings of Dolphin to a higher value and get the effect of high AA/AF without the performance hit. It is possible to get 30fps with 24x Graphics Card AA via this method versus 8 fps and 16x AA via Dolphin on the same game. You should not have your graphics card override the AA/AF settings with OpenGL or you may get no video.
