gfx.direct3d.prefer_10_1;true

Could someone tell me what this does?
Does it prefer 10.1 over 9 or 11?

Is this setting still needed these days?

thanks

It's a flag pref. it should never be touched or set manually by users.
It indicates that Goanna detected specific direct3d support and should prefer it over other features.
