<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr">Is there any need for or has there been any thought about a Direct2D backend?<br><br>While only being Win7/Vista SP2 specific, Direct2D allows for true use of the GPU to perform all render-related functions, scaling etc. - and on hardware that is slightly older, it performs a seamless switch to software rendering.<br>
<br>The performance boost that this gives can be quite significant.<br><br>However is there any point being that SDL works in Win7 too? Albeit minus some harware accel advantage (that comes from Direct2D)...<br><br>If there is any point, I'm happy to implement a D2D backend - i'm already familiar with the API and it's not a lot of work.<br>
