I use an application, DesignCAD, that requires turning off graphics
accelerators. (If you don't know what this means, right click on desktop, go
to properties, and settings and advanced and eventually there is a slide bar
that by default is set to 'all'. For this program I moved it to 'none'as
directed by the programs support desk. Maybe it would have worked in middle
but I have not yet checked that.) I know what graphics accelerators are and
why they are used; pixel rendering can be 10 to 100 times faster with them.
In the case of DesignCAD and this machine that seems to be the case, referesh
is slow. On another machine it did not seem to make a difference, so the
questions probably bridges OS and Graphics card interfaces.
Can I find out which accelerator features are being enabled/disabled as the
slide bar setting is changed?
Is it possible to debug/understand why an application can't use the best HW?
