==Quality Comparison==
===Increasing Quality===
Nvidia and ATi graphics cards come equipped with software which can edit the final displayed quality. This software can be usually accessed via a manufacturer logo displayed on the right hand side of the taskbar.
ATi also offer a program called AMD Fusion Utility which can offer greater quality for those with AMD processors and ATi Graphics cards although this program can have negative effects on overall PC performance if used incorrectly.
