Here is what usually happens: Your Draw method issues graphics calls, which are recorded into a buffer Your Draw method finishesenCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2008/04/02/lost-in-translation.aspx#8389365Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:21:53 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8389365bpevangelista<p>Great post!!!</p> <p>About the video driver:</p> <p>&quot;If you think about it, this only makes sense for games which are CPU bound. If a game is GPU bound, speeding up the translation code in the graphics driver will make no difference, since that CPU code was not the limiting factor in the first place.&quot;</p> <p>Ok, but imagine if a new video driver knows how to translate the code in a way that there's less work to be done on the GPU ?? In this way, a new video driver can improve both the GPU and the CPU.</p>
