|Even though I only have one video card, this always shows two. If one of them is your video card, or if you don't know, click Next. If you know it has the wrong video card or none is listed, you need to get some help from Daybreak technical support. Although it does not say this, whichever one is highlighted (you can pick) is the one that EQ uses. Note that since the January 17, 2024 game update (possibly before) mine now lists AMD Radeon(TM) RX Vega 11 Graphics on top and Microsoft Basic Render Driver as the second line. You do not want Microsoft Basic Render Driver. | |||

|This is the part where you choose if you want to use the old player models or the new (Luclin) ones. The ones checked will use the new models. Unchecking the boxes will use the older models for that sex / race and will give you better performance. However, for the sex / race that matches your character(s) you need to use the new models if you wish to use a [[Mounts|mount]]. Note: If you use the old models, you may still wear / view [[Hero's Forge]] armor, but the look is changed. | |||
