This variable will toggle the clearing of the screen between each frame. This can be helpful when specing a game and flying out of the map or during map development when the map maker must fly outside of the map to look has his map from the outside. Enabling this command will clear the areas which are not rendered outside of the map thus preventing the flickering effect when images repeat themselves repeatedly. However it causes problems when playing and going through the surfaces of a liquid (for example when diving into liquid), as you will see a red flash where the liquid texture would normally be repeated.

Sets clear color (gl_clear 1)

Default: 0 0 0
Variable is float.
This variable toggles the use of internal OpenGL functions for removing covered objects. When this variable is set to "1" the game will depend on the OpenGL driver to use it's culling functions to remove certain objects from the calculations because they are covered up and would not be seen anyways. It is a good idea to leave this toggle enabled because it will increase rendering performance.

Default: 1
| value | description |
| 1 | Use the OpenGL driver's culling functions. |

This has nothing to do with 3D rendering, it will not increase graphics "lag" or anything like that. It only affects 2D head up display graphics.
This variables toggles the use of a trick to prevent the clearning of the z-buffer between frames. When this variable is set to "1", the game will not clear the z-buffer between frames. This will result in increased performance but might cause problems for some display hardware.
