WPF hardware acceleration
-
Hello All, If I add certain Shapes (e.g. Polylines) to a WPF Grid (placed inside a WPF window), would they be rendered with hardware acceleration?

I know that you can actually write code that tells you if hardware acceleration is being used. I believe the answer is 'yes, if you have a good enough graphics card'

I think they should. Not 100% certain though.

You can use the "rendering tier" to get a feeling for the caps of the videocard:
int tier = (System.Media.Rendercapability.Tier >> 16);0 is bad - only software emulation 1 is ok - the card supports partial accel (DirectX 7 - DirectX 8) 2 is state of the art with full accel
