Built-in benchmarking tool that analyzes the different subsystems (graphics, memory, etc.), and uses the results to allow for comparison to other Windows Vista systems, and for software optimizations. It rates the computer's performance using the Windows Experience Index.
The Graphics Device Interface in the architecture of Windows NT For example GDK makes use of GDI. The Graphics Device Interface (GDI) is a legacy component of Microsoft Windows responsible for representing graphical objects and transmitting them to output devices such as monitors and printers. It was superseded by DirectDraw API and later ...
It is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP display driver model XDDM/XPDM [3] and is aimed at enabling better performance graphics and new graphics functionality and stability. [2] Display drivers in Windows Vista and Windows 7 can choose to either adhere to WDDM or to XDDM. [4]
Essentially, a metafile stores a list of records consisting of drawing commands, property definitions and graphics objects to display an image on screen. [1] The drawing commands used are closely related to the commands of the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) API used for drawing in Microsoft Windows.
A widely used de facto standard, introduced with XGA-2 and other early "multiscan" graphics cards and monitors, with an unusual aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.25:1) instead of the more common 4:3 (1. 3:1), meaning that even 4:3 pictures and video will appear letterboxed on the narrower 5:4 screens. This is generally the native resolution—with ...
DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) [1] is a user-mode component of Microsoft Windows (for Windows Vista and above) which provides a mapping between particular graphics APIs such as Direct3D 10.0 and above (known in DXGI parlance as producers) and the graphics kernel, which in turn interfaces with the user-mode Windows Display Driver Model driver.
The BMP file format, or bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device (such as a graphics adapter), especially on Microsoft Windows [2] and OS/2 [3] operating systems.
