I'm developing a WPF 3.5 app with 5 animations on the page.<br />
<br />
I've added a messaebox at load to display the rendering tier of the machine. <br />
<br />
On my Windows 7 32bit Professional machine with Nvidia 6800 and latest driver, it always displays tier 0, so software rendering is being used. On my older laptop with X600 ATI card and same OS, it displays tier 2.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to change this, or anything I can check to make sure hardware rendering can be used?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
