RE: [GD-Windows] (closing) DirectX Pure Device / HW Vertex Processing Stuff

[Vek <ve...@ho...>]

Hi there.

Since this isn't really the place for this, I'm requesting that this is the
last post in this thread. Thanks for the great answers, guys.  I'll post
this postmortem just in case someone else is getting the same problem.
Perhaps its useful to someone :)

I've moved on over to the DX newsgroups and mailing lists so as not to
clutter this newsgroup.  The answers recieved so far were helpful, and I'm
suspecting that the answer that the CPU might be beating the video card is
the case.  Its a 2 ghz CPU... The Lock() parameters, AGP business and others
factors are straightforward and already checked for problems.  There was ONE
case of 'read-from-agp' that was solved and gave back most of the speed, but
it's never quite gone over the speed of the software vertex processing, and
it drops of really sharply when there's many polys.  I'll keep a lookout
(And ask around) but go on the assumption that on less powerful CPU's the
GPU might pull a bit more weight.  ... and of course, give users the option
to force software....

Thanks again!
