The settings for AF should match the picture above for the STEP recommendations from the STEP Guide. In the INI tweak section on the STEP Guide, you turned off Anisotropic Filtering (AF). Now we need to turn it on using Inspector. | The settings for AF should match the picture above for the STEP recommendations from the STEP Guide.

:This is the driver side frame rate limiter. Capping the frame rate is useful for high-end cards only (cap at 2/3 the monitor refresh rate), since it is typical that the GPU frame rate will frequently move between above and below the monitor refresh rate, which causes choppy graphics. Limiting frame rate prevents this. ENBs also include a Frame Rate Limiter. {{Notice Small|Pay special attention to triple buffering and v-sync below if using FPS limits on high-end cards.}} {{Notice Small|Monitor refresh rates of 75 Hz may be fine without FPS limiting, but 60 Hz is a typical refresh rate.}} | :This is the driver side frame rate limiter.

:Set this to ''on''. Triple buffering improves performance among v-sync/frame rate and monitor refresh when v-sync is enabled and the GPU frame rate is less than the monitor refresh rate (when it is not, there is still no drawback). This setting does nothing when v-sync isn't enabled. {{Notice Small|Pay special attention to Frame rate limiter (above) and Vertical Sync (below) if using FPS limits on high-end cards.}} | :Set this to ''on''.
