A mechanism for adaptive quality performance control in three-dimensional (3D) based personal computer applications is provided. The mechanism adaptively controls multiple application programming interface (API) modes by selecting the best possible mode automatically using an aggregation function of quality and performance while, at the same time, giving the user the opportunity to change the mode through interactive control.
