   7    MSAA
   8       Multi-Sampled Anti-Aliasing. A basic anti-aliasing technique that takes
   9       multiple samples of the depth buffer, and uses this information to
  10       smooth the edges of polygons.
  11
  12    TCL
  13       Transform, Clipping, & Lighting. The three stages of preparation in a
  14       rasterizing pipeline prior to the actual rasterization of vertices into
  15       fragments.
  16
  17    NPOT
  18       Non-power-of-two. Usually applied to textures which have at least one
  19       dimension which is not a power of two.
  20
  21    LOD
  22       Level of Detail. Also spelled "LoD." The value that determines when the
  23       switches between mipmaps occur during texture sampling.
