    Hello. I was reading today that wherever possible, WPF use hardware-acceleration by taking advantage of Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Question is: I am using 3rd party unmanaged library which internally uses GDI+. If I am making my front end in WPF, how much better performance should I expect? Thanks for anything you share.

    This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

      How long is a piece of string? Seriously, it is impossible to answer such a question. The only way to find out is by running tests on different configurations.

        It depends on so many factors, including how you host the DLL inside WPF. As it's not a native WPF component, I suspect you're using an ElementHost and that has performance implications.
