The
set-up options within Rogue Spear allow many
alterations to the way graphics are displayed.
These options can make a big difference to
how your game plays; however the effect of
each of these options is not documented in
the game manual - this brief report is prepared
to assist with making the correct choices
for your system.
In
order from the worst graphics/best performance
to the best graphics/worst performance the
options can be listed as follows.
-
Nearest

Linear
- Mip

The
Linear options give the highest
quality images.
The
differences between 'Mip Linear', 'Linear
Mip Nearest', and 'Linear Mip Linear' are
incredibly small as far as I could see. However
changing from 'Linear Mip Linear' to 'Mip
Linear' caused a rather impressive improvement
in framerate.
Sample
images showing the differences are shown below,
