Graphics settings refer to the options available in software or games that allow users to adjust the visual quality and performance of the graphics displayed. These settings can include resolution, texture quality, shadow detail, and anti-aliasing, among others. By modifying these options, users can enhance their visual experience or improve performance on lower-end hardware. Adjusting graphics settings can help balance the visual fidelity and frame rate of a game or application. Higher settings typically provide better visuals but may require more powerful hardware, while lower settings can improve performance but may reduce visual quality. Users often find a balance that suits their preferences and system capabilities.
