# Graphic Settings

To get started we recommend you to have a look at this iVP YouTube Tutorial to learn more about the different options and their effects.

The graphic settings offer several options to adjust the graphic quality and various visual aspects. They can be adjusted by using the [settings panel](/intelligent-virtual-platform/home/ivp-planning/user-interface/settings-panel.md).

## Settings

## General Quality

The **General Quality** option lets you quickly choose between the presets **Low**, **Medium** or **High** from a dropdown list to have an overall influence on the graphical quality and performance.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Laptops** or **tablets** should usually be used with the General Quality **Low** and none of the graphic options below to prevent performance issues. The General Quality **High** is only recommended for high-end computers with dedicated graphic cards.
{% endhint %}

## Framerate

The **Framerate** option gives you a dropdown list to set the maximum frame rate of iVP Planning. You can choose between **25**, **30**, **50**, **60**, **90** or **unlimited** frames per second. The higher the frame rate the visually smoother the experience.

## Ambient Occlusion

The **Ambient Occlusion** option lets you toggle this effect that influences the realism of the ambient lighting and its interaction with surfaces.

## Anti-Aliasing

The **Anti-Aliasing** option smoothens the edges of objects for a visually more appealing look.

## Bloom

The **Bloom** option toggles the simulation of a bloom effect for extremely bright light sources.

## Shadows

The **Shadows** option lets you switch object shadows on or off.

## Vignette

The **Vignette** option adds a soft decrease of brightness in the corners of your view to simulate an effect known from photographic lenses.

## Reflections

The **Reflections** toggles the simulation of light reflections on the surfaces of objects.
