Debugging Direct2D

When debugging Direct2D the debugger can be really slow, and I've recently discovered the culprit of the poor performance; the Intel graphics driver. The same performance problems happen in Visual Studio so it isn't a C++Builder or Delphi bug. If you are debugging Direct2D just run without debugging or get a system with an NVIDIA or ATI graphics card.

We started listing in the "Minimum Requirements" section for our products -nVidia or ATI only!-

Correct, or ATI.

Anonymous,

That isn't a bad idea to list the video card on the minimum system reqs. The video card is one my major complaints about the all-in-one touch systems.
