Direct3D Mobile Reference Driver (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Microsoft® Direct3D® Mobile reference driver is a software-based driver that provides correct reference renderings for Direct3D Mobile. Driver developers can use the output from the reference driver as a basis for comparison when debugging their own driver's output. Because the reference driver is software-based, it is slow and cannot be used to gauge the performance of an application.
The reference driver runs in the application's process space. This is commonly referred to as being locally hooked. Because the reference driver is locally hooked, its only access to a primary surface is through DirectDraw.
