Golden Tee - Video Settings

I'm able to get GTfore06 up and running, with minimal audio glitches on low and medium video settings but the quality on my screen (a 1080p monitor) is poor.
Is there a native resolution setting I should have set for the golden tee series? Can someone advise how to do it?
Thank you

No. MAME does not render 3D games at anything other than the resolution they were intended to be at. The goal is to accurately document the hardware.

Typically, the viewport (size of the historical non-profit museum relic time piece emulated game screen) necessitates the use of artwork and layout files included in downloadable artwork to position the X, Y coordinates of the size and shape of the viewport. Also the use of scan lines improves the graphic quality as intended before mame became a historical document shrine.
Although, the API created to simulate the scanlines is 20 year old D3D shader model 3.0 and requires a very historical document called Direct X 9.0c to work, it's not the greatest but one way to keep the historical formaldehyde jar and it's documents displaying a little bit of realism to simulate those blank CRT screen lines. It can be enabled via *.ini file. I will include a zip file for you, but you can search online and find supporting artwork. Look for stuff by Derek Moore, John Merrit and a few others to learn how to optimize your experience.
Drop this zip into your artwork folder, it's some old generic junk I compiled a few years ago but will help you understand how and what to do to get better visuals until you find more suitable artwork. I included the *.ini file, so you'll need to extract it and move that single file over to your INI folder. You'll have to load and unload the main exe so the settings become resident...

*squints at you* oh you think you're funny, do you? 
In all seriousness tho, Moogle interpreted this request as "render/upscale the ingame graphics at a higher resolution than what was normal for its time", and that's what these requests usually are. That'd be fine for some hacked up version of MAME, but not in the main project.
Do you find that these sort of requests are usually satisfied with "just add on artwork and a bunch of shaders"? I'm asking honestly. My experience is "no" but I'm not all that active on arcadecontrols.com or reddit or other places where you might be more active.

Hey Stiletto, been a while. Hope all is well on your end. Interpretation's get lost on both sides of a convo at times, no harm intended. The narrative I have been reading from a couple of mame contributors, is when someone comes in looking for emulation help, and the responses are that mame is a preservation effort, it's to document hardware. So my interpretation of that is, mame must be moving away from being an emulator to a historical artifact, so I pushed back a little with some banter.
Actually in all honesty and that can be interpreted as being honest, I don't use any other mame fan sites, at all. Most of the mame enthusiasts sites I did participate in are long gone. I read all kinds of stuff from lots of places, but I seriously don't participate anywhere but here, I don't really have a presence on the net at all, not even social media.
Anyway, if the OP needs help and if I understood correctly, I offered a potential solution.
